If there's one thing experience has taught me it's that I will always be second best. Even that's being generous really. That was once again proven to me tonight when we visited a friend. I always got along with this friends mother but tonight, she seemed to want nothing to do with me. Considering they were hosting other guests as well, I tried not to take it personally. It became clear though that I was simply not good enough. She spoke to everyone else just fine but not me. When I attempted to make conversation when she was alone, she flat out ignored me so I went outside to talk to the others instead. A little later she came out as well. She made it a point to talk to every single person there (my husband included) except me. It seems when other people are around, I become less than nothing and this is far from the first time it has happened. I wish I could say it's only her but I've had this problem with many, many people. Perhaps there's just something about me that makes me less important.
