Feeling Unwanted

Prompt: Do you ever feel unwanted or excluded in anything? How do you cope with these feelings?

A woman at work got married and her future mother-in-law worked there. The future mother-in-law got mad at the night shift and she was in charge of Wedding invitations. She didn't invite any of the night shift. I felt hurt but if the future bride can't stand up to her mother-in-law, I decided it isn't my problem. The mother-in-law quit, well was asked to leave. I had her business card. She had a Degree as a Medical Assistant. I tore it up and threw it away.

We have Case Managers at work and they don't give the night shift a Christmas card. I don't give them one, either.

In high school, trying out for cheerleader didn't work out. The cheerleaders and Pom Pom Girls had their friends and stuck together. I didn't make Pom Pom Girl, either. So I was in Drama Club, Plays, Paper and Annual Staff and Beauty Pageants. I didn't need to be a Cheerleader. I married my husband and three of these cheerleaders thought they could be my friend now because my husband's family is a prominent family like their families. They didn't like me then so they don't need to bother now to be my friend. I have always been nice to people but got hurt a lot. I keep busy with my life. I have my husband, family and friends so I am good. The Nursing staff at work and other department members love me and were there for me when I had my recent surgery so I am good. I try not to worry about being excluded from things. I don't always have time for things. Life keeps me busy and I get included in things rather I want it or not. Like getting ill and surviving an operation which is a beautiful thing by the way. God was there for me. Snow storms. Our county gets included in those. I guess I have rambled on enough. Thanks for reading.
