DAE get sad or frustrated when someone on social media posts about an inclusive thing and then they reply and react to everyone else’s comment except yours? It happens to me every now and then and it just drops my mood so down. I get all excited about people talking about being inclusive so I try to participate and then ultimately get ignored. I’m not sure if they are doing this on purpose or maybe they just happened to not see my comment, but I doubt that several different people haven’t seen it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not always like this, but it’s enough to be noticeable and it makes me want to stop trying to talk to others on social media. I’m just worried if I do stop, then people will be like “oh well it’s because you don’t try”. And honestly I feel kind of stuck either way. I hope this wasn’t too whine-y haha just needed somewhere to talk about it and posting about it makes me feel like I’m hopefully not alone in this. 

If anyone else has dealt with this before and has any tips on how to overcome this feeling or better manage it, I’d greatly appreciate it &lt;3 

TLDR; some people ignore me online and it makes me the big sad. 

(This is also my first post to this subreddit so I hope I did it right. I’m open to constructive criticism)



If anyone wants context as to what this most recent event was: 
-Someone that I’m mutuals with online posted asking people to comment if they wanted to do a gift exchange for each other via mail for Christmas. Me and like 8 or 9 other people responded and everyone except me and one other person got a response back of the OP saying yes and how excited they were and that they’d DM them the details, but left us out. And OP commented on the responses well over 18hrs ago and has been actively posting other stuff since. So it just hurts to be excluded in something that most everyone else seemed to be included in. I know they don’t owe me a response and I know that there’s still a possibility they might’ve just missed my comment, but oooof it still digs a tiny knife into my stomach especially because their post (I believe) was meant to be a fun and inclusive event.  

Also this situation happens with other things in general over time, the above example was just the most recent one that made me want to stop trying to include myself into things.
