Why do they ignore me

I have lots of friends in my current office.I do have a lunch group also.But then most of the times they speak and i jsut keep mum.Its not that iam a very dull person and less humourous.But i definitely don't have any close friends in this group.The rest all plan for a weekend activity most of times i am never called.These things hurt me a lot.I just dont know what to do.This is because i had 2 close friends before and they left the company.Pls advise.Is there something wrong with me?or iam just imagining things?or how not to care abt these things.

    "then most of the times they speak and i jsut keep mum." - If you're not talking to them they probably think you're not interested which is why they don't invite you along.

    Ditch em. obviously they dont want to hang out with you, so you shouldnt need to hang out with them.

    It is a good idea to participate in the conversation, but talk about what interests them. Ask questions others enjoy answering. Be careful about introducing new topics into the conversation. Do not be controversial. It is particularly important that you do not express hostility for any person or group of people. In private conversations keep in mind that anything you say to anyone may be said to anyone or everyone else. That is particularly true in discussing anyone above you in the job hierarchy. Someone might pretend to be sympathetic to your hostility toward your boss, and then use what you say against you.

    if you want people to love you, love them first. i dont know, but it's something like that.
    you should start the first move, show that you're interested and START TALKING and invite them first to party or anything.

    change it up. you ask them what they're doing, ask them if they want to hang out. you'll find it to be self-rewarding

    Why don't you start asking them what they're interested in. Then you invite them somewhere.

    maybe they don't want you taking everybodys attention and/or are sexually threatened and afraid and jealous of you.

  • who cares? its just people you work with I dont talk to people I work with much either. I really dont care about whats going on in their lives and I suspect that they dont care whats going on in mine either.

    Everybody is working for the weekends anyway. You know the time when are you arent at work.

    • Besides why hang out with people from work outside of it anyway? Wouldnt it remind you of work and the fact that you have to go back again at some point? It would for me.

    Maybe they just be polite with you to not be embarrased.

    Invite them over for dinner. If they come over you'll get to make friends with them if they refuse then you'll know the reason is because they are UNFRIENDLY.

    i think its normal to feel bad becuase you were left out but don't be a baby about it. at work you should be really focused on working anyhow and personal relationships there cause lots of drama and problems. its better to get hobbies and focus on your real life. count yourself lucky you have a job but jobs come and go.

    what does " just keep mum" mean? i have never heard this phrase.
    my advice: try engaging them in conversation, or join in in their conversation. it could be that before when your good friends were still there, u ignored them to talk to your friends, so they have not had a chance to feel close to you. make an effort from now on if you really desire their friendship.

  • I guess you must not want to get any closer to these people but it must be awkward when they tmake weekend plans & you are odd man out. You have to decide what you want - and if it is to be part of their group - then speak up. Otherwise I'd consider new lunch buddies.

    Well, you've already said when they talk to you, you don't speak back. So what would be the point of them inviting you anywhere if you're unresponsive when they try to start a conversation with you?

    Maybe you shouldn't "just keep mum" next time and you'd have friends stupid.

    Are you in the south? I've noticed that the "southern hospitality" just a myth.

      southern hospitality is not a myth, you're probably just too much of a prick for anyone to want you around.

      OP: Get out there man, there's tons of fun shit to do with other people. Start meeting people on a regular basis. You'll be known by more people and when people think "oh who can we invite?" they'll think of you.
