Has it ever happened to you too?

It happened to me again. I was in a gathering with three girls. As a person with social anxiety, I strived to talk as much as I could. It was all fine at the beginning because we had the equal amount to talk. Until one of them left, the other two girls started ignoring me. I asked the same thing thrice. At the first time I thought I was just too quiet so they couldn't hear me, yet at the second time they still couldn't hear me, and at the third time, I finally realized that they have been speaking louder and louder to cover my voice. I stopped making a sound and walked behind them. I didn't get it, I tried, it seemed good, but then I became air again like what I've always been.

It doesn't have anything to do with you. You're still as valuable as you always were. It has everything to do with them and their insecurities and fears. Don't let their actions determine who you are.

Sharon is wise. Listen to her. :)

@LookingForIt987: I do know what I'm talking about. I've been there. Still am sometimes, but the valuing of self based on others is gone.

@Sharon03: Agreed. I've been there too. Learning value of self comes from inside rather than outside is a difficult, and often painful, lesson.
