I thought I’d stop “feeling left out” when I left school, but who knew as a 40 something you could still feel the same way and that sometimes you just don’t fit in and it brings back all those old feelings and it stings. I don’t always fit in with my mum friends. I’m not useful for a playdate. I can’t appreciate the craziness of back to school. I don’t get invited to kids birthday parties where they all gather and the only non mum in a group of friends can be a lonely place, even though you know for a second they never wish to or mean to leave you out. It’s just the way it is. I’m the boss, so you know people don’t often like me and they don’t want to hang out with me. I’ve seen social things and I’m one of the few not invited and it hurts – but then I remember back in my 20s I would not have invited the boss either! I like clothes, but I don’t fit with the “Dubai Fashion Pack’ and I’m never invited to any fashion events. Even though more than many who attend I could afford to buy what they showcase. I don’t fit the look. Recently my mum who is in her 70s told me that she went to do a class to learn something and everyone was really mean to her and ignored her. She was so upset and never went back again. I felt awful for her. So, does this mean we’re destined to feel this way forever?! Whatever age we’re at, we want to be liked and we want to feel included and when we’re not it does hurt. It’s normal and horrible all at the same time, but seemingly it’s just a normal every day part of life.
