Is it normal that i'm always left out?

When I go to work, I'm a different person to everyone else, and I'm left out. I have very few friends, and they're loyal to me, but most of them, went of with the popular people and have left me to mind my own business. They come back to me when things go wrong, and I always fall for them. Then they just go back to their old friends, and I'm left out once again. There's something about me, that people don't like. I've tried being myself, and trying to fit in, but they both failed miserably. Is it normal to be left out, and if it is, can you please tell me why? Pls comment, it means the world to me!

      Oh everyone's a psychologist aren't they. Tell me one person who hasn't at some stage felt left out? When picking teams, dance partners, - friendship grouos morph and maybe they keep coming back to stay in touch 'cos they like you. If you like them and think they are good for you, try showing interest in what they like to do and give their interests a go ? It might also add to things for you to do. But always be yourself - you're OK and don't believe anyone who says otherwise. Popularity is short-lived...and very much in the eye of the beholder. Good luck buddy.

        I don't think the poster that you were responding to was attempting to diagnose anyone - only asking if that might at least be a contributing factor to the problem of making friends or fitting in. I know it's difficult to believe, but some people actually are on the autism spectrum, and you wouldn't even necessarily know it. What used to be called "Asperger Syndrome" (I tend to think of the TV character, Sheldon Cooper, as the poster child for this disorder) is now just lumped in with all the other autism spectrum disorders, as if they were all just one thing. However, I still prefer to think of it as "Asperger Syndrome," and many individuals with this syndrome are very high-functioning, intelligent people, and you might not even realize they had anything particularly "wrong" with them (though you may observe that they tend to be different from neurotypical individuals in regard to their social interactions with others). As they mature, they can usually figure out how to fit in better than they did when they were younger, but they still have problems making and keeping friends, or fitting in with a group. The OP, or the many undiagnosed others on the spectrum, wouldn't necessarily know if they had "Asperger Syndrome," unless they were evaluated by a doctor. They only know that they don't fit in and for the life of them, they can't figure out why.

        Yes, everyone feels left out from time to time, but for those on the spectrum, it is pretty much a constant struggle throughout their lives. Many eventually give up on having friends at all because it is too exhausting to keep up the pretense of being just like everyone else in an attempt to fit in (which is what most people seem to expect from those they call their friends).

    Not everyone is going to like you, not every group is going to accept you. Its pointless trying to read their minds in an attempt find out why they leave you out, thats why you're miserable- you can't read minds. Stop focusing on these people who leave you behind and start looking for other people to hang out with.
