I just don't understand how people can lie to me. They claim to be my friend and they clearly are actually the opposite. Am I that insignificant in your life that you can't honor a few minutes of your time to listen to my stressful day? Is what I am trying to tell you so unimportant that you can cut me off and talk about yourself or that you have to go and do something? I want to scream at the top of my lungs "LISTEN TO ME!" but I know no one will and it makes me feel worse.
They say that the people around us are reflections of our current self. And if that is the case then I am scared. Could I truly be that self absorbed and uncaring? I have a heart, I know I do. I give, still continue to give what remains of the best side of me. A part of me I thought I didn't have an ounce left of after what happened to me. And now I see that everyone is out to take what's left!
I want to hate them for it. I really do, but I can't. I just feel so defeated and have no clue what on Earth I can do to protect myself.

I've been reading your blog on and off, and I've been meaning to let you know I'm here. Somehow things don't always go as planned, but I'm taking those few minutes right now to share my two cents on this.
The fact that people around you see you as worthless only shows their blindness-- it has nothing to do with your worth. If it counts for anything, here at Pandy's someone will always be listening, and you're always welcome to share your thoughts. Ramble away and I promise I will be here to listen.
It has been a while since your last entry, has something happened since then? Have you tried sharing the feeling of loneliness with your boyfriend? You needen't tell him anything spesific, but I'd think letting him know you're hurting might be a good idea. Sometimes being held is all you need to feel better.
I just want to.. I don't know.. I want reassure you somehow, to help you get a hold on the positive energy radiating from your first entry. You're brave and strong and you have a big, warm heart. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You'll be in my thoughts.
But I am completely and whole-heartedly thankful for your post. Sometimes when I feel that vulnerable it is hard to find my way back to that hopeful, positive vibe and I find it even harder to believe that I am not alone.
@healingoddess_375: Thank you so much for your post. It is reassuring in that the purpose of me joining Pandy's is to build up my courage enough to say what I say here in real life. I know that in my part what probably doesn't help me is that I have a huge trust issue. And it's my hope that I get to that place you are in and I am so happy that you were able to achieve that!
