The Family Outsider

My family always left me out of everything. No group chats, no events.

They even left me out of family decisions. I was always the outsider.

I asked to be included, time and again. But I was always brushed off.

They accused me of being dramatic, or just 'too sensitive' to understand. Eventually,

I was completely fed up. I stopped calling, messaging them, responding.

Then, suddenly, my family acted very surprised. They were quite

hurt. They asked me: 'Why aren't you trying harder? You're being cold!'

They accused me of being 'cold' and 'remote'. The whole situation flipped.
