Question Posted Wednesday February 9 2011, 10:59 pm
Welp, there is this kid I like he's my age and we have two classes together. His name is Joey. Well, Joey I guess you could call him the "class clown" but sometimes he's sort of serious in a sarcastic way.. if you catch my drift. It's not like Joey and I are complete strangers we know each other and have talked on more than one occasion. You can consider us 'friends' I suppose. A couple weeks ago Joey sends me a text saying "We should get to know each other better" I think there was a little bit of truth to it but more of just something to say to me. So I just responded with "Hahaha, okay Joey." And that conversation faded away.
Here's what really bothers me. In last period Joey sits right next to me to the left and my other guy friend, Andy, sits behind Joey. And my good girl friend, Brianna, sits to the left of Andy. If you can picture this. Well, when we have a few minutes to spare at the end of class to talk those two guys always turn towards Brianna and those three talk. I sometimes am joined in the conversation but not typically. It really bothers me. And it's basically the reason I don't like hanging out with Brianna and am glad she is moving next year. Sounds terrible but I am tired of her getting all the attention. It is not like she is better than me at all in any way. It just get tired some.
May I add that whenever I tell her of a guy I am into she always loves to tell me about how they hung out or a conversation they had or how he was 'talking' to some other chick... Like I don't want to hear it. I don't think she does it on purpose but it does discourage me.
In the end I just want more attention from guys than her.. so whatta say?
If you want to be happy, you are going to need to get the fuck over it.
It's okay to feel this way sometimes - it's natural and normal - but when it's bugging you this much, you need to do a bit of personal work to let it go.
Or better yet, when the class ends next time, START talking to Joey, or to Briana, if she is one who creates group conversations.
She is better at you at one thing apparently: She is better at getting and keeping conversations going (maybe that is part of why she is a gossip when it comes to guys you like - she is good at generating conversation, even conversations you don't quite like). Instead of resenting her, you could learn from her. She's got something you want. Watch her and figure out if you like her way of getting it. If you like some of her ways of starting conversations or keeping them going - start using those approaches yourself. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
