To be upset that on one is ever interested in me?

[Tiliana]

I ask people questions, I listen, I show interest in others, I like and comment on FB.

Yet no one is ever interested in me or asks me a question about myself.

I went out for lunch with a large group of friends last week. Not one person asked me anything about myself or my life (and yes, I asked questions/listened/was interested in what they all had to say).

I went out to London last month for a day with a friend and a group of women that I vaguely know through her. Again not one person asked me anything about myself or showed any interest in me.

On FB, all the mums from school like each others photos and comment on each others stuff. No one is in the slightest bit interested in me though.

Fed up with it all.

Oh I know how you feel because I've been there, it's awful having to listen to a monologue and nobody seems interested in you. Firstly I'd say don't fret about Facebook it's not a true indicater of friendship. By all means post stuff but don't over think the reactions or lack of. Find hobbies and interests outside of the school mums and the other group you mentioned. Could you do some volunteering? A couple of hours in a charity shop? You'd make new friends. Could you go to an evening class? I would also suggest a marvellous book called "your erroneous zones" by Wayne Dyer. You can listen for free on YouTube. Good luck and please give the book a try, it was a life changer for me.

My DSil and her adult daughters plus my DBil, are like this. For years I have sat in family gatherings, asking about work/kids/health/relationships etc and having monosyllabic answers and no interest at all in my much more interesting life.
One day I had a light bulb moment and since then I greet them with "hi, how are you?" and then I don't talk to them. Might be childish, but why the hell should I bother?
They are not doing it on purpose, they just do not have any social graces because everyone else thinks I'm worthy of a two-way conversation

why would you continue to be friends with people that arent interested in you?? seriously

There are a lot of people in the world to choose from
