Today, I was excited because a friend had added me to a new Facebook chat consisting of my tight circle of friends from last year's summer camp. I then saw when the chat had been created. They kept me out of the chat for almost an entire year before deciding to add me. FML
Alaskalex_fml tells us more.
Hey, this is OP. The camp is in Washington, and it looked like all the people in the chat were the campers from Washington, so my guess is that they created the chat just for the Washingtonians and started to add in people as camp time drew closer. The reason why it hurts a little is that I've had a pretty rough year with depression- I switched schools and ended up having no friends for about half the year- and it would have been nice to be able to talk with them and get some support, even though they lived so far away. I haven't said anything about it and I won't, there's no point in making a big deal out of something so little. To #13- I did the same thing many a time in order to make myself feel better about being the youngest and not being able to do the things my older siblings did. #22- Lol, okay, whatever you say. You seem a lot more invested in this than I am. #44- Yes, we have summer camps in Alaska, though I was referring to one in Washington. Contrary to popular belief, there exists four seasons in Alaska, not just winter.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

At least you didn't get left out of a family chat...2 years it took them to remember they have a sister...

Have you been living under a rock? It's not hard to type "Alaska" into Google and see that we don't live in igloos and parkas, and that contrary to popular belief, it isn't always winter here...

"You seem a lot more invested in this than I am" You're taking a Facebook chat to heart.

Depression can make anything make you feel ten times worse. Hope you make some great friends op and get even closer to the ones in the chat!

I hope you're getting professional help for your depression. If you don't have resources for that, there are self help books. I have tried online support groups, but people on those forums can be emotional vampires.

It's a FACEBOOK CHAT. Be grateful they added you in the first place instead of whining like some immature child.

Social network shunning is a very serious issue.

Don't sweat it. If they really are your friends, it will be okay, but if not, than you're better without them.

They probably got bored talking to each other they need someone new to talk to

first of all getting excited over Facebook is kind of sad. and apparently your tight circle of friends doesn't include you.
