Too much frustration....

Frustrate: To cause feelings of discouragement or bafflement in.

Yes, I believe I am frustrated at the moment, what makes it even worse is I wish I wasn’t letting this frustrate me so much. I want to be able to let things continue to roll right off me, but I no longer can. I want to keep holding out and just act like things don’t bother me, but I’m failing at pretending.

Is it wrong to be upset when you are constantly overlooked, unappreciated, and just not really noticed? I mean, how many times in life are we overlooked because we aren’t pushy enough, or don’t look the right way, or can’t say the right things, or aren’t full of free time to dedicate to something…the list goes on. I keep making a huge effort and striving to do the best I can so I will be noticed, but it hasn’t worked.

So what does that leave me to do?

Stop trying to reach out and be noticed for what I am capable of doing?
Stop caring that I’m not appreciated and noticed?
Am I supposed to just accept it as a fact of life and not let it bother me?

It feels like I’m in a game of playing favorites, only I’m never picked. I want so badly to keep pretending I’m not affected by it all. I want to be a strong confident person who can make my own way in life. But the truth is I am struggling here.

I am frustrated with this issue in my life, then frustrated that I am letting it frustrate me!

I absolutely hate that I am letting this one thing get to me. It's making me discouraged. I thought I was stronger then this.
