So I am Not Awkward, Shy, or Weird?

Yeah, you probably need to be more proactive if you aren't. It is hard, I know. I used to work in a store that had about 20 people, and I felt like I was someone not an employee. At bigger stores where they got many people at various shifts, it's hard to be someone. I wish you luck in finding a place that you feel you matter! Pray hard! lol

The little things get to me. I will feel left out of the cliques. Like when the group goes out to lunch and I am not invited.

Things like that make me really sad and depressed. I dont wear my heart on my sleeve. I admit it to you guys cuz you all no what its like.

Don't let it bother you. I've been left out sometimes.

That's why the word "friend" has more than one level.

I have a few friends that I consider very close friends. They respect me. They involve me. They update me. We trust each other.

I have many friends, but those are what I would call "just friends". If there was a party and they were there, I would talk to them. If there was a Deaf Awareness Day at Six Flags and they were there, I would join them in a group... but I wouldn't expect to follow them around all day. I would likely split up with just my close friends.

Having one close friend is a lot better than having a bunch of "just friends". :)
