Tbh I never got chosen.

People usually got stuck with me on teams, in groups and such. Last one picked at gym class and still the odd one out at work and social settings.

I did stop trying because making others happy is an endless and impossible task that should of been reserved for the very few people that actually did choose me.

Now I'm too old, ugly and quiet for anything new to come along.

Invisibility has been my life and it's definitely not the worst, but not what I chose.

I wish I could move beyond some of things I was forced to be for survival and care. I'm bored with the bare minimum and breadcrumbs that don't compare to what I gave. Seems though, with my exhaustion, comes a higher rate of lower level rejection.

I can't expect anyone to care about me unless I push myself onto them and show up for them disproportionately to the point of self sacrifice.

I don't get it.

I never needed easy or free, just mutuality.

Just doesn't seem I'm meant for, together.

I was always near the end of being chosen on teams too.

I get the point of getting older and becomine a non-entitiy for some.
You have chosen yourself and that's more important than anyone else choosing you . You have chosen self respect over shrinking to fit others ...you have chosen your heart over letting someone walk all over yours ...you have so much to offer the right person for you ...

I wish I had an answer for you - but I don't.

What I do know is that I learned early on - as in childhood, that nobody was going to choose me.

Somehow and for reasons I'll never fully understand, I learned to choose me and let the world be what it was and is.

I've learned and fully accept that what I do for others, for the world, for anyone, matters only to me.

I have no expectations of people and this world and sometimes people do surprise me, but when they don't, I have me and that is all I need.
