>>1I feel the same way. My situation is different though.People admire me and say good things about me but it all feels so empty, like they were just faking it. The ones who call themselves my friends don't even bother to contact me or even hang out if there is no advantage in it for them. When they have no use of me, it is like I don't exist. I can be in the midst of their crowd and they don't seem to realize like I'm there. They act nice and ask for favours and, when I man up and said 'no', they didn't bother contacting me again. It's a good thing, I suppose, but, God, if it isn't so lonely. I'm now moving to a new place, a new country for the semester, and the same thing is happening again. Everyone is oh so friendly on the surface when they do notice me but there's no real connection. I'm finally in one of my favorite countries and yet I feel so blue. It's awful. Are those lifelong bossom friends you see in movies just in movies? Do they not exist in real life?
