junior year of high school, English class. I got to class a little late on the first day (even though the class before was right next door lol). I had friends in the class, but they all had taken the seats and there wasn't any room for me. I ended up having to sit in the front by myself. literally by myself, right next to the teachers desk. everyday I would dread going in there cause it didn't feel like I was actually there. like an out of body moment. I could scream and no one in the room would notice. my friends would get mad if I ever wanted to sit in seat and someone else would have to sit up front. I felt like they didn't know I was there. I would look at them to see if they ever noticed me and they wouldn't. they would talk and have conversations I wasn't apart. I hated feeling like that. this feeling is happened again. I thought it never would happen again cause I'd consider that apart of high school drama. but now at work, I share an "office area" with two other people. they now have put their desks on the other side of the room. I haven't felt like they ahve included me all year, but at least before they were right next to me. now I try to listen in, to try and be apart of the conversation. but I also hate doing that cause it's eavesdropping and I don't want to do that. but I don't want to feel excluded, I want to feel like I'm not invisible. like I really matter

It's common for people to feel excluded or invisible in certain situations, whether it's in school or at work. It's important to remember that you matter and try to find ways to connect with others and participate in conversations without feeling like you're eavesdropping. Building relationships and finding a sense of belonging can take time and effort, but it's worth pursuing.
