We had to form groups for a scene, and I ended up completely alone while everyone else paired up instantly. I tried to participate by offering to help another group with something small, but they ignored me like I wasn’t even there.

I started crying a little, but I wiped the tears away before they could fall. No one noticed. No one asked if I was okay. I felt invisible in a room full of people.

I’m sharing this because pretending it didn’t affect me won’t help. I want to be honest with the people who actually care about me and understand what days like this feel like.
