Do you ever feel like a number around your friends?

I find that when I'm talking to my friends I feel like they are only talking to me because they don't have anyone better to talk to. Needless to say, they aren't really close friends, but there is a big group of us and I guess there's a bit of a heirachy happening... And I feel like I'm at the bottom. I'm a very quiet person, maybe that's why...
Does anyone else get this?

I definitely used to get this in my group of 'friends' and still with my msn contacts.
It's like every few months someone will speak to you - someone who is always online, but just happens to have nothing better to do on this occasion.
These days i only associate with my closest of friends and family, so it's not as prevalent.
BE LOUDER DANA!
=D

Lol. I think you're the third person to tell me to be louder today! Maybe you're all trying to get some sort of message across...
Talking to friends online never works. I only do it because it's the only time I do get to talk to the ones from Brisbane. It's better than nothing, right?
I'm working on an air mattress... There will be no more wooden slats trying to cripple me at nighttime anymore... Hopefully

Sometimes when we are all in a group, I do feel that way. Sometimes you have to do or say something to stand out and make yourself more visible. Most often I end up just being quiet and eating my dinner or drinking my drink and listening. I find that the more I listen the more I learn about these people.

Listening and learning is good, but it's usually not as much fun as participating in the conversation. Standing out can be really hard though when you're used to being in the background... I know it's probably my fault most of the time.
Thanks for your post :)
