Feeling ignored; paranoid or not?!

Hi all,

I’m starting to get a bit down about something and wanted some unbiased views!

I’m completely aware this probably sounds childish but it is getting to me when I know it probably shouldn’t.

I am in a WhatsApp group with a few other mums. I met them during Mat leave two years ago at classes and we got on well.

My issue is that lately I feel quite ignored in the group. Quite often they’ll be having a conversation but when I chip in they all go quiet. I know it’s a really silly thing and I do think maybe it is me overthinking ( I do have a tendency for this!) but I’ve looked back a few times and it’s quite obvious that they tend to not reply to me but happily chat with others😔

I know I could leave but I do actually enjoy the company when we occasionally meet up. It’s also nice to have a group like that for support.

I’m not one for saying a lot in these groups so maybe when I do they’re just not used to it 🙈

In all seriousness though it does hurt me 😔I remember once posting that my little boy had been up with a bug and no-one acknowledged it or asked me if he was ok.

I don’t think they are intentionally doing it & I know everyone had their own lives it’s just clear that when other people chat they get a response and a lot of reassurance etc

People can get busy so I'd think it odd but not be too bothered if it was a one off.

However if you feel like you contribute a lot and its not reciprocated or appreciated then they aren't great friends.

I also think lockdown is doing strange things so maybe see what it's like when you all meet up again.
