MemberAn example is that, For halloween 2 of the most populer girls in my school had partys, and I got invited to neither. 😮 The feeling sucks. I’m considered pretty well-liked at my school, and even people who are considered “nerds” at my school were invited to these partys. It’s like your an outcast, a loser. Anyone else ever feel like this, or have things like this happen to them? It would be nice too know I’m not alone, or if its maybe just me.

MemberThat happens to me all the time.
Usually if there’s something going on, I won’t find out and if I do I’m the last one.

ParticipantOh you feel left out? Come on dude, I’ve never been invited to -any- party, or even had a date. Don’t complain that you are left out. =)

Memberwell, same here David.. Girls ignore me coz am ugly but guys find me cool and smart. Anyways, sometimes it sucks and becomes lonely but well, those people who realy know me, they do respect me and like me a lot.

ParticipantI know _exactly_ what you mean, someguy. For me, it’s always like whenever my friends are hanging out or something like that, I just HAVE to be with them, or else I feel lonely and like I am missing out. Which is kind of sad, because most of my friends don’t invite me to do anything with them… I either have to call them and ask them if I can hang out first, or just go and try to look for them, and join them. And last night one of my friends had a party at his Aunt’s house, and me and one of my other friends had plans to play night-games and doorbell-ditch people, but first, I had to wait until he got home from that party. So then there I am, sitting around doing nothing while my other friends are off partying someplace. I’m pretty sure what you’re feeling. You feel lonely, a little jelous, and you get that small aching feeling in the pit of your stomach.

MemberSame here. Sadly, I’ve also never been to a party. I mostly stick to myself after school and during school, it’s just friends for each class. I’ve only been to a school dance once, and it’s not that I don’t clean up well, it’s just I don’t have anyone to go with, and you don’t want everyone to see your name on a wall by itself. (Turnabout — don’t ask) But I suppose I’m happy, becuase I have all of you to keep me company.

MemberActually, I almost never talk to the girls because they are jerks at times in my opinion. One of them seems to find something wrong with everyone except her best friends, and the other thinks so highly of herself and she thinks she can just go into any group of people and be liked. Shes what kids at my school call a “prep”. She thinks she could just walk up to any group of people (nerds, emos, punks, athletes) she wants and be worshiped because of her popularity and hotness. I don’t like them, but the fact that alot of people I’m friends with went was what bothered me.
So anyway, In an attempt to get my mind off the partys, I tried playing Halo for PC online. I failed miserably at this. After about 30 min I noticed all was doing was just running toward the enemy flag and getting blown up repeativly, not actually doing anything, because my mind was on the party. But then I got this IM:
ashleymarks1: it was such a stupid party
Pinged Pong Ball: why?
ashleymarks1: boring
Pinged Pong Ball: how could a party by jordon harp be boring?
Pinged Pong Ball: nothing to do?
ashleymarks1: we didnt do anything
Pinged Pong Ball: she didnt have anything planned out?
ashleymarks1: not reallyxD

Participantwelcome to the club, dude. I know how it is, I went through all that in high school, and still sorta am even now… I was fairly well liked, but I was never one of the popular crowd so never got in on their special little parties and whatnot. but now that I look back on it, i’m actually kind of glad I never really got into that whole thing. the fact that I dont have to validate my existence through others’ acceptance of me is good to know. think of it this way… years from now, after you’re out of high school and into the real world, no one cares about the years we wasted away in high school worrying about stuff like that. I know I sometimes feel left out when all the people I normally hang out with go play football/basketball/some other pointless sport, since I despise sports, but then I realize its not always necessary to conform to the crowd.
if you can learn to be happy on your own without seeking approval and praise from others, you’re way better off than the majority of the earth’s population.

ParticipantIt probably won’t be that great of a party anyhow (high schoolers do not throw a good party)…
Seriously, don’t feel bad that you weren’t invited, I am sure you weren’t the only one left behind. Do you ever talk to these girls? We all feel left out sometimes, it is impossible to be included in everything everywhere. Sure the feeling of being left out is rough, but I tdoesn’ tlast forever.October 31, 2004 at 3:57 pm #103540Quiksilver
Memberthis reminds me of what happened yesterday…we were talking about the party were having on haloween and my brother was sad because the popular kids wouldnt come…they would never get out of their neighborhood. they always had the parties. ive learned to ignore the “popular” kids and hang out with the rest of the crew and I must say the popular kids…they get on my nerves. you dont have to hang out with popular kids, theres nice people that arent popular and yeah im having a party and there is 0 popular kids that I even invited. I dislike them and their thinking that they can do whatever they want and that they rule the school. theres not as many of them as the rest of us, so why do you let them tell you whose house to go to for a party? why would you let them tell you whose popular? dont listen to em! you dont need those people in yer lives, and honestly about 90% are all stupid. they know nothing! its good if yer smart, so better be smart than hang out with stupid “popular” kids. of course they wouldnt know how to throw a party. since when do they know how to do anything but go to the mall…? yep, theres nice people out there that aren’t popular and you have to realize that. the popular kids are mainly “popular” because theyre rich plus they got all this cool stuff. I can live without that. always better to be who you are than let one of em popular kids tell you what to do. take out the popular kids we have in our school right now, and a whole different variety of popualr kids would be there. those kids wouldnt be prepish or rich…they would be smart and know how to do things. dr. kimble is right…we all feel left out sometimes but you do have to remember you cant e everywhere at once.

ParticipantConstantly. Last friday my little sister’s friend calls and says “What are you doing!? You’re beautiful and 20 and it’s friday night!!!” It struck me that I never do anything on friday nights, yet my sister has parties every weekend…my little 4 years younger than me sister. At my fathers no less…and I’ve invited her to every party I’ve thrown, every get together and every shindig…it’s one thing when it’s people at school, but it’s another when it’s family. Heck, Ive been “forgotten” for holidays too. Christmas, birthdays (which is tomorrow and nobody in my family’s said anything) and the like.
What I don’t get is that I ended up going to a flick with my sister’s friend that night and she called him 14 times in that two hours that we were there…then got angry at -me- for going out. it wasn’t like it was a date, jeeze. And she’s done that to tons of my friends…and I’ve done it before as well…who knows people are crazy…I just brush it off mostly.November 1, 2004 at 1:03 am #103541kyuubi
Memberyeah…..once in awhile…..but don’t feel blue, you still got us….and BBB!!!:D

KeymasterI think everyone feels left out at some point in their life. Some more than others of course. In my case, I’ve had my share of left out moments but I always told myself, so what? It’s not going to kill me so why pay mind to it and I quickly shrug it off. Maybe I’m just carefree. I don’t know.
Be prepared for more moments in life like this, and while you’re at it, make sure that sometime in life it’s not you that is making someone feel left out. In high school, there’s always the quiet kids that you’ll find sitting on their own, yet nobody approaches them. I used to be that kid until 8th grade, and that’s all I needed to just be myself, just one person to say “hey man you’re pretty cool”. I think I drifted somewhat. I think too much. Well this is my two cents.

ParticipantSomeguy03 I feel the same there was a huuuge party and I swear almost the whole grade came and I never got an invite. And it would really make me feel bad when they said like “oh what are you going to be for the party” then I have to go “i never got an invite” and im one of the upper popular kids at my school so I was kind of new to the thing

MemberWell, some interesting things happened. Apparently a kid at the party managed to break a sheriff’s car window so the party was stopped an hour early and everyone was kicked out, and apparently there was nothing to do and everyone just hung out and talked. =) Maybe I was lucky to not have gone.
