I don't understand why I'm never part of any group in my life. Every time I think I've made a friend, I find out they're far better friends with others and I'm barely of any concern at all to them. They don't even think to ask if I want to be involved in what the rest of the group is doing because I'm just not part of it, again. If I don't log in at my usual time, no-one questions it. If I vanish for weeks or months, no-one questions where I am. The people who claim to like me often ignore me in game, or give me 5 seconds of attention before returning to their real friends. The only people who talk to me only do so when they want something from me, and often don't even reply after I do what they want, then ignore me again until next time they want help. How am I meant to treat these people? I thought I had reduced my expectations to zero but I still get surprised by how others act. Am I meant to explicitly state that I don't want to be the 'friend' of last resort? That I'm actually completely alone and never doing things with others if that's what they presume? I doubt everyone else has to do this. I wish I knew what I've always done wrong because I can't fix something I can't even identify.
