So, no one gives a shit about me, and I don’t really have any reason to care either. I don’t really know what to do about it. I’ve been told not to try so hard, but that makes no sense to me. I don’t see how wanting a conversation with a friend for the first time in weeks after sitting in my house alone for a few weeks (when I’m not working or in class) is too much to ask.

Because when you don’t try so hard you relax and are yourself.

Also, I’m not sure people are intentionally ignoring you. I think people tend to focus mostly on themselves and what they are doing. I, for example, haven’t hung out with or talked to my old high school friend (who’s an Aspy) in several weeks. I do think about him but when I do it’s inopportune at the time for me to call, and when it might be opportune I find I’m busy with work or life or kiddos, or just not in the mood to call.

I’m sorry that your friends aren’t paying you enough attention. What I’m saying though is that I don’t think they know that they are.
