No one calls me first. I sometimes think about how it would feel for someone to think, "I really want to go here...Let me call Kate!" I mean, it could be happening and I just don't read minds properly. But, I pick up on energy and vibes even over the phone sometimes, and I know it doesn't happen.
Sometimes, when people ask me to do something, I wonder how many people said "No" before they got to me.
Sadly, this thought is normal in the world that we live in today. Most people don't care about strong interpersonal relationships. They care more about their image and what others think about them.
It is so disappointing the number of people who consider themselves "friends" with someone if that someone provides something for them. This can be either something tangible or something that makes them feel higher on their personal social ladder or ego.
I have literally made a cycle that I am 95% sure occurs once someone asks me to hang out:
1. Usually, they start with their boyfriend.
He says no...most men don't want to go shopping or be your personal photographer.
2. In comes Mrs. Popularity
3. Then, they ask the person who they can receive the most out of
The one who will most likely drive...or the one who might pay for their meal.
4. Oh hey! Then there's me
The not-so-exciting one yet will totally have a great time with.
Usually, this would absolutely tear me up. I would feel worthless, less than, and question what was wrong with me. But I have grown to realize that this is not a reflection of me. This is a reflection of the other person and how disorganized their brain is.
Be your own first option. When making plans, think to yourself first. "Do I have to invite someone or can this be done by myself?" Start making sure that you are good and everything you need to get done first, is done.
Who cares if no one makes you their first choice, because you have YOU!
