I believe it is indifference.

And sweet lies, closely in a second place.

Giving someone or a group the power to make me feel insignificant. I think it hurts most because I'm aware *I'm* the one allowing it to happen. It cuts deeper, somehow.

I've been hurt less by a lie than by a truth someone holds about me that isn't accurate.

Not if you're smarter than I at choosing the people you trust!

It hurts that I care for people who will behave badly. I come away feeling completely insignificant, all the while knowing I'm the one that has given them the power to hurt me.

The feeling is mine alone, their behaviour only impacts me as much as I allow, and right now I'm allowing far too great an impact.

That's what I mean with misunderstanding being quite painful, I think.

Took a long time to figure me out, feel like I am pretty me-ish in all things.

So when people get a different perception of that, it's an isolating feeling.

I understand and I didnt mean to appear facetious.

Many years ago I did a group exercise on a promotion course, with colleagues. We had to anonymously describe each other by writing down our opinions, then have them read out. It was amazing and a little cruel how peoples opinions of themselves were so different to that of others.

Yeah, had a few periods of depression where I wouldn't talk to any friends or family for months, just the occasional small talk in the supermarket every week or two if I wasn't using the self-checkout.

These covid lockdown wingers don't know what suffering is

"Not being seen for who you are.

This is interesting...I get it. Especially when you show people who you are...and they still don’t get it

But maybe YOU'RE NOT seeing who YOU really are??

That's what I mean with misunderstanding being quite painful, I think.

Took a long time to figure me out, feel like I am pretty me-ish in all things.

So when people get a different perception of that, it's an isolating feeling.

I understand and I didnt mean to appear facetious.

Many years ago I did a group exercise on a promotion course, with colleagues. We had to anonymously describe each other by writing down our opinions, then have them read out. It was amazing and a little cruel how peoples opinions of themselves were so different to that of others."

Didn't take it as facetious at all just felt a need to clarify my thought after seeing yours.

Which is quite on-topic, really.

"Giving someone or a group the power to make me feel insignificant. I think it hurts most because I'm aware *I'm* the one allowing it to happen. It cuts deeper, somehow.

This

I've encountered on some threads on here. I'm not one of the gang, though I try "

Oof... the only advice I can give is not to try. Post when you've something to say. Sometimes you'll get a response, much of the time you won't, but try not to let it get to you.

For me, I use this as entertainment rather than validation. The people I've met up with from this site and whose opinions matter most to me don't tend to be people who spend a massive amount of time on the forum (I try to stay away from drama where I can).

Find your own gang. Find your tribe, the people who share your views and values and humour. There's far more to this site than trying to make yourself different to fit in with someone else.

Just my two cents, of course!

eh? Avoiding pain is how you end up avoid life.

When people are isolated it's often due to betrayal, they don't want to be alone, but can't bring themselves to trust anyone.

I totally know what you mean about indifference. When someone is so important to you and you've given so much of yourself to them and you realise that to them you barely register in their consciousness. You can't even be mad like with betrayal as often they don't even mean harm.

"Giving someone or a group the power to make me feel insignificant. I think it hurts most because I'm aware *I'm* the one allowing it to happen. It cuts deeper, somehow.

Doesnt it kind of comes with the package of trust and opening up ?

Not if you're smarter than I at choosing the people you trust!

It hurts that I care for people who will behave badly. I come away feeling completely insignificant, all the while knowing I'm the one that has given them the power to hurt me.

The feeling is mine alone, their behaviour only impacts me as much as I allow, and right now I'm allowing far too great an impact."

Deception. When someone sets out to decieve.

When you have put your trust in them and they don't trust you enough to be fucking honest or are too selfish and self centred because they want what they want and would rather lie than risk losing or not getting what they want.

Freedom of choice, people have the right to make decisions based on the truth, not a bastard lie.

How do you surround yourself with friends when you don't have any? How do you get familiar withyour neighbours when they have no time for you? Blaming it on lack of effort is just a lazy generalisation.
