Used

I am feeling used and neglected. People I thought were my close friends are hiding things from me, it seems purposely deceiving me. How do you deal with this in a grown up world? As a kid you could yell, you could disown a friend, you could accuse them of being mean. But when you are one in a group of under 10, when you must see these people daily, what do you do? Pretend? Or confront? Or ignore? I've been ignoring since January. It's becoming too hard.

I feel sick about it. I want to cry in a corner. I want to hide from them. I want to tell them that they hurt me, but I don't want to give them the satisfaction. I want to quit. I want to punch a pillow. I want to abandon the troops. I want to run away. Mostly I want to run away.

When you feel used by people you thought were your closest friends what do you do?
