Is it normal that i'm letting this ruin my life?

I recently found out that my friends will only like me half the time. They think I want sympathy when I go talk to my other friends about my feelings even though they won't let me talk about them to them. They say I'm annoying. These people have been my best friends since 3rd grade. I cry at night, write page upon page in my diary, and I think about it all the time. Is this normal that I think about this so much? Should I find new full-time friends?

  • im sorry but i dissagree with the last commenter your friends obviously havent cut you out straight away you have obviously kept feeling sad for yourself for some time for them to not want to hear your sorry for yourself attitude no one likes it when they have to listen to someones problems and have to deal with there own aswell i think you do act sorry for yourself and notonly is it anoying but it tends to piss people off ALOT i have a couple of friends that just keep acting sad all the time even though its just because theyve fallen out with there friend fallen out with bf or because theyve been "thinking about life" which is the most obvious and retarded excuse for attention maybe stop crying and being sympathetic all the time and making it a everyday schedule so when you REALLY do have something SERIOUSLY wrong your friends will relise and talk to you about it but the way you are acting they will just think your looking for attention again
    sorry if i sound harsh i put this in the nicest way i could i personaly hate people like you iv been through alot more tha you have believe me i have just like so many others have been through way more than i have but i dont complain about it i moved on and i never look for attention or sympathy and there was one time when i felt a little down than usual and i mean a little and since i never complained about anything loads of my friends talked to me about it but do you know what i said? i said guys dont worry its nothing big jus feeling a little down and even if it was bigger it would be my problem not yours so dontworry guys but thanks for your concern so i know if i need a friend to chat to when im feeling down iv got plenty because i didnt act sympathetic every day making people pissed off about my "feelings" and im sure ur most likly always finding something for an excuse to make people feel sorry for you which is really low and i bet you are wishing something was really bad in your life so you could complain about it there are people who have been through loads wishing they didnt go through bad tims while your wishing you were in them for sympathy my advice is grow up

      That was quite long but I think you are right. It's a little tough, but everyonr has to grow and be less sensitive.

      • ...I'm actually ashamed that I used to spell like that. I've come a long way from spelling like a young teenager.
        Yeah, I tend to go into depth when I see something I feel needs to be said.

        I agree. Everyone needs to stop being over sensitive about problems that aren't really a major problem, I think tough love is needed for it to stop.

        If people allow others to act sympathetic for small things, then you're allowing them to think that it's a good thing to do, when it really isn't, not for the persons saying it or for the people they act sympathetic to.

    I think sharing your feelings is fine, but there's got to be a line drawn.

    Personally, I hate feeling like i'm offloading my own shit onto my friends. I think there are times when you have to get something off your chest and let your friends support you, but doing it constantly would be bringing your friends down, too. It's not very considerate to their feelings, and I belive you should put some thought into that.

    I think they're good friends if they have been honest with you about this- that means that they trust you to be able to understand them. Don't be a drama queen or make any rash decisions without some serious thought.

    Also, ItDuz, you sound like a moron. Your comment makes no sense whatsoever! I think you need to go back to elementary school and learn the basic structure of a damn sentence (a spelling and grammar lesson wouldn't hurt, either). Your use of the word "sympathetic" leads me to believe that you are a complete idiot and should not be allowed to comment on posts when you do not even know the definition of a simple word. Sympathetic means having sympathy for someone as in "I feel very sympathetic for ItDuz because he is obviously a complete moron". It is not a term used to describe a person that wants help from ones friends. Think before you type because you are just making a fool of yourself.

    These creeps that are commenting and saying that you are the problem in this situation do not have any right to talk to you so harshly, just as your so-called "friends" do not have the right to treat you that way. They are definitely not your true friends if they treat you so badly. Friends are supposed to be there for you to help you through any problems you are having. My best friend just knows when I am going through a bad time, I don't even have to say a word and I always think I am hiding it very well but she takes one look at me and says "I know somethings wrong, I'm here for you whenever you want to talk about it," and she really means it. THAT is a good friend. You shouldn't have to beg them to help you out or listen to you in a bad situation. I know it's hard to break out of your comfort zone and find new friends but you need to get away from the toxic people that you call "friends" right now, they're no good. Don't for one second blame yourself honey! And please PLEASE don't listen to the mean, hateful people that have been commenting on here!

    Eat some cake and come up with a plan on how to get them back. It could be that they're playing a prank on you.

    I don't quite think you understand. (I wrote this) I hardly ever complain. Every now and then I'll talk about how mean a person was or something. I'm not a complete downer 24/7. I actually am most of the time laughing and joking. Maybe they think my jokes are annoying, I don't know. But the only reason I'm so depressed now is because of what they told me. They said I pretty harshly.

      I'm sorry if you don't like my interpretation of your issue. I really believe that You are part of your problem. If you can't figure out your part in why they are harassing you, then you will continue to get yourself into these situations in the future. You're going to be one of those people who goes through life playing the role of the victim, whining and complaining about it, never taking responsibility for your own contributions.

      Ya, it sucks that you are being picked on, but if you want to avoid being treated like that in the future, you are going to have to figure out what it is that you are doing to provoke others. Sure, some shit IS random, but your situation doesn't seem like it's one of those times, plus it's rare for people to attack others for no reason.

      Open your eyes.

    Self-pity is revolting. It's best not to repeatedly abuse your friends patience by complaining about your feelings/life all of the time. If they've known you a long time, then they are most likely correct (but they aren't handling it well). I doubt they would pick on you like this just out of the blue, if you didn't first provoke them.

    Talk to your parents or counselor about your problems (I'm assuming you're still a kid), but stop dragging everyone you know into your drama.

  • They are not your friends if they make you cry and only like you half the time. Drop them and find nicer people who will enjoy your company and like you for who you are.
