Is it normal to feel like no one cares about you at all

My friends are all like best friends and then I am just the secondary friend that tags along it feels. My mom and I used to be really close but she completely forgot I existed when she got this new boyfriend. And I feel completely unimportant to all the people in my life.

Also when someone tells me they have feelings for me I find it hard to believe and don't get emotionally attached because I assume they don't really like me because I can't imagine someone romantically liking me more than everybody else.

It's not trust issues.. but importance issues? IIN?

    omg! I didn't recall writing this post haha...this sounds exact like me kinda. Don't worry the majority of people don't even care about themselves so how can you expect them to care about someone else. All I am saying is that people have issues, try not let their issues become yours.

    yep, that's life. Be your own friend. Do what makes you happy and a few people come join you. You'll never have more than a handful of real friends. It's a lonely world. People are busy and their world revolves around themselves, you're only in it when you supply into their world. It's not a bad thing, it's just human nature. Love yourself

    You may feel like that but that doesn't make it so. You can't be 100% certain about how much someone values you. Not everyone shows affection in the same way.

    Also you shouldn't expect people to give you the same ammount of importance as you give to them (you will be extremely dissapointed if you do so). People have preferences, even when it comes to the people in their lives. I wouldn't take it personally.

    As for the second part, you shouldn't assume the worst. People like other people all the time and you're no exception. I think you find it so hard to believe that someone is capable of valuing you as much as you value them, that you don't even give them a chance to prove your assumtions wrong.

    (you're mum cares about you just as much. She just has a new person in her life, which is her right. That doesn't make you any less important to her. You just have to learn to accept that your mum has a life seperate from you.)

  • Well I'm not going to lie, I don't care about you either.

    It doesn't matter though, learn to believe that you are the most important person on earth and one day you'll wake up and be that person. Emotion is there to stop you, it's an illusion that's cultivated by others to keep you in line. Life is like a roller coaster, if you're the only one on it, it remains just as fun to ride. Throw a few people off during and it becomes an amazing red spectacle.

    I totally feel like that. I'm gay and I'm extremely feminine, considering I am a guy. With that, I am very dramatic and flamboyant. I've recently felt like my friends are just being fake when I have conversations with them; like they pretend that they like me. I feel like they think I'm purposely being all dramatic.. but no, like that's who I am.
    But don't feel like that too much, because later, you will find people who truly care for you and that will love you. At the end of the day, if you know you're a strong person and that you'd be anybody's bestfriend, then that's all that matters (:
