I Love to Write
I often feel overlooked. It's something I've felt my entire life.
Invisible.
Discardable.
Unwanted.
Insecure.
I've spent so much time investing in new people who show a genuine interest in me, that I have often failed to notice the signs that they are no longer interested in the shiny new toy.
Because they have found a newer and shinier toy to play with.
And so I'm left feeling unloved. Like there is something wrong with me. I spend ages beating myself up to the point that I obsess about what's wrong with me.
However recently it dawned on me. I was not the only person in the pairing. So could it be that perhaps all the fault didn't lay with me?
People don't always gel and not everyone is going to like everyone else. But a little basic respect and courtesy is appreciated. Manners cost nothing.
Letting someone know what's wrong instead of ignoring them in the hopes they will go away is sometimes all that's needed to stop someone from thinking they aren't worth anything.
