Hi. Not new here, matter of fact, I got my 5 year award. But I've not been on here for 2-3 years. During that time, I've tried to fit into different groups in person and online and just can't quite seem to get there. I either end up feeling invisible or disliked. I try to be careful what I say and half the time I still end up saying 1 wrong thing - which is where the dislike comes in. Or I'm basically ignored and never responded to.
Yes, I prefer to stay home and be alone, but it'd still be nice to belong somewhere. I've become the 'crazy old guinea pig lady' with 13 guinea pigs. lol I enjoy them and it often feels like that's all I've got. I've got 4 kids and 13 grandkids, and a great grandchild on the way. I know they are all busy with their own lives, but when you have to message them 'Marco' to finally hear from one, and another will text me when she knows I'm sleeping. And I hear from her when she needs something - like a babysitter. I have 1 daughter who calls regularly - when it's her day to pick up the kids from school and she calls while waiting in car line, so the calls are short - too short to get into a real conversation.
And 2 sisters who are weird. They will argue and put me down on facebook and, at the same time, send me a funny meme via text. I think it's their way of testing to see if I'm mad at them or something.
Well, I woke up this morning and remembered this forum where I DID fit in, so here I am.
