Holidays

Do you ever feel like you are not respected or taken seriously by people?

I feel like I'm constantly disrespected and not taken seriously. It's like I am not respected by people, and they take me as less important or treat me poorly.

Example 1. My supposed best friend would constantly be a jerk and be miserable to me. If I said anything about it, he would tell me I'm just sensitive. Then, all it would take was me politely not agreeing with him, and he would tell me what a bad friend I am. I finally said Enough is enough and he blamed me for ruining the friendship. It's like I'm just supposed to be his emotional punching bag.

Example 2. My work friend switched companies, but we got along really well, so he suggested that we keep in touch. I then realized that he would contact me only when it was convenient for him. He travels for work and would only call when he was about to make a long drive. Which is fine, I understand the work friendship dynamics. I wasn't working, so I wasn't near my work phone. He has since blown me off for the last month because of this. It's like he is mad at me for not being available on my off day, but he only calls when he is working and wants to kill time. So he is mad at me for the same situation he does to me.

Example 3. My Brother and I have the same type of relationship with our Uncle. We are distant, but still send courteous Merry Christmas texts and stuff like that. I sent one to my Uncle, and he ignored it and left it on read, but then he texted my brother and wished him Merry Christmas. I have no idea what I would have done for him to blow me off, but it kind of sucks being ignored on Christmas.

These are just examples from the last week. I don't know what I want other than to rant about it lol. You can respond to why you think this is or provide your own examples of feeling the same way.
