This has been going on since my early teens when I was in high school. Whenever there is a party or some kind of meet up I usually end up being left out and not being asked along and it's really hurtful. I'm always polite and smile at people, I make efforts to chat with them but I still end up getting sidelined.
I know that I can't expect to be included in everything and that's fine, but when your one of only about two or three people, or worse the only person in a large group not invited it's horrible. You end up out of the loop and uninvolved when everyone chats about it afterwards.
I'm trying hard to widen my social circle. I suffered social anxiety for many years, I has counselling for it and I thought that I was over it but then stuff like this happens and I end up back at square one. My counsellor told me that it's perfectly fine to ask if you can go along to something, but I don't feel confident enough to do that.
I don't want to say too much in case it outs me, but it makes me wonder why I even bother trying with people? Maybe I was just meant to be a loaner?
