It’s like I don’t exist anymore. I decided to be nice and hook up my cousin with my best friend because they liked each other. They broke up but they still like each other and all three of us still hang out together. But every time I’m with them they totally ignore me and flirt all the time. It feels like I don’t matter to them anymore because they barely talk to me. My cousin tries to help me with my SI but when my best friend comes into the picture, he completely ignores me. It feels like I’m not important to him anymore and my friend has taken my place. It makes me feel like I’m not worth anything.
you are worth something. a lot. to more people than you know. you do exist and don’t deserve to feel ignored or unimportant. especially if you are going through a time in which you need support.
I am sure that you still mean a great deal to your cousin, everyone gets pre-occupied with their own lives sometimes. I am sorry that had to happen when you need your cousin for support. Perhaps you trust them enough to tell both your cousin and your best friend that you need them? They more than likely are not intending to make you feel this way and probably don’t even realize how they are making you feel.
If you are able to tell your cousin and best friend that you need them then they will be there for you.
No matter what happens in life, nobody can replace you. you are a unique individual that has much to offer the world, even if it does not feel like that all of the time. I know that sounds corny, but its true; try to remember that, it helps me. Try to keep your chin up.
Tell your cousin and friend how you feel. They arnt hurting you on purpose they just dont know there doing anything wrong. You can do it. We are all cheering for you
