Ignored? Neglected?

[hoffenk]

Sometimes when I am out with my family I feel neglected. Typically I am a quiet person and an introvert but not as bad with them. When I'm talking I get interrupted and often not asked any questions. I also try to go out of my way to get to know their life and what they are up to but it seems to not be reciprocated. Is this because I am quiet or because of my doing something wrong or something else?

I find people just enjoy talking about themselves so much more than listening to someone and giving a thought to the other persons feelings. What you describe has happened to me too. Don’t think they realise they are doing it sometimes..

I find it irritating and frustrating.

We tend to be hard on ourselves and blame ourselves, questioning if we do something wrong. It is not your fault if people are self absorbed, is my opinion

Theres nothing wrong. People just can be blind to how much something affects you. Sometimes its better to sit down and talk to one of them about it and soon they will all know and things may change.
