I realized today that I've never been to a wedding as an adult. A lot of my "friends" are married or getting married soon; I've never been invited to one wedding. Or to go on a trip with them, or go to a cabin, or a festival; shit they'll talk about this shit right in front of me like I don't exist in the room. And I know even if the two folks I know in real life here see this, they still won't comment on it to them or anyone else. I'm starting to understand isolation is part of my life; and that I will need to settle on that. Being poor sucks. Being disregarded by your friends, is way worse.

That sucks, man. I'm sorry to hear that.
As someone who has lost most of his friends over the years through moving and a general social awkwardness, I can empathize with that feeling of isolation.
If I can offer some hope, sometimes it just takes adding one person to your life to make most of that fade away. And that can happen in any moment. Don't give up hope.
I hear you. Harder because the light that I had the last few years has been extinguished (will just leave it at that, those who know know). I know you aren't wrong. I'm just getting to 33 this year, getting really disenfranchised with who here in nyc loves me for who I am and not who they need me to be, and the fact that yes, I feel like the black person left out of the group CONSTANTLY.
I am the black friend. I have a lot of white friends, I was raised in a mixed community, and the only people who are left are the ones who moved here and don't want to go back to Jersey. I'll be honest, I'm also really fucking upset that a certain person or two who has moved here has never even tried to contact me; I'm the last on the list for these people. And yes that is infuriating and it is a piece of systemic racism that I can't quite touch on with any of them. I've been camping for years, why have they never invited me to their families cabin? I've been hanging out with you since I was 15 - but you have no idea until now that I was poor/lower middle class on the other side of the tracks part of the town? The amount of people who in NJ hate me for calling them out on shit. Hope seemingly is the advantage of the privilege of comfort. I cannot keep scratching at the walls and maintain hope.

I know you in real life. I’ll get remarried and you are invited. It will be in a park, and the reception will be at Lebanese restaurant we love. BYOB. No need to dress up. Shoes are optional.
So full on Wook wedding? Best get Dale on top of this.

I must see Childish Gambino in MSG in September. It has to happen. He was so good at GovBall and I haven't seen him live enough. Plus with all the talk of dropping the Childish Gambino act/moniker I really want to catch it.
I still think he'll continue to make music but maybe not under the name Gambino.

meaning I'll hit you back, but I have to finally see CG up close and not listening from the back at roo
Yea, I've seen him at Roo but when he was early on and not as big now. And I didn't get close/just hung back to watch a bit. Then at GovBall I was a much bigger fan and loved his set.
I'm going to be looking into tickets tomorrow and this week. I think there's a pre-sale tomorrow. Definitely tough to see him "close" at MSG but it'll probably be a stellar show anyway.

Why not just confront those people directly and try to resolve your issues instead of hoping they read this and engage you in discussion on a public forum?

Because I know them well enough that I know they will not respond. It's not an issue between us, it's I'm not of importance to them. I have actually stated all of these things to most of them if you would like to know. I'm probably one of the most brutally honest people you will ever meet.

Also really unsure why when I'm in a fairly open depression cycle that they see, why I'm supposed to be the one to reach out to everyone. But it's always nice to be asked about the circumstances in a low stakes posting about my own pain. Or would you like to call me passive aggressive as well and double down on it.
Or should I just put my unlimited energy into constantly trying to make people understand how I feel, as this extends over a decade. That my awareness of things was totally not important until people elected a fucking sociopath. And I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE MEDIATOR NO MATTER THE FUCK WHAT.

I don't think you need to reach out to them unless you feel the relationship is worth saving. Otherwise, it sounds like these people are assholes and you can do without them.
My point is moreso that if you really want to work on these relationships with them, its probably more productive to address them directly, in person, than on a public forum where they will probably feel uncomfortable to respond.
Also motherfucker end a relationship with the person you loved more than anything you knew, and knows half of this community. Like you know what the fuck is going on. Fuck. Should I put myself back on facebook for you, or is a festival forum not private enough. What the fuck do you people want from us? What type of communication is correct? What can WE do that satisfies you without disturbing YOUR sense of self?
FTR, I have no idea what people on here you're referring to (the people who are being assholes).
Yea. That was kind of the point. Because you wouldn't know most of the people I was speaking of in Jersey. Two of those people are active on the board, and I know them through personal connections. The point was to illustrate my issues as a black person, in feeling able to communicate major ideas with them. You assumed that I haven't tried to talk to them about it. I've gotten blacklisted by a lot of ppl I was raised with because of me speaking up. You assumed that I'm angry about that, rather than aware of what causes a stabbing in my chest. I.E. Random Thoughts. And I said in the opening of that OP, it was a revelation.
I really hope no one breaks your heart. Tells you it's because you are unstable and bad for them, because issues like this plague your life; but guess what they won't because of a thing that doesn't effect you: a different cultural raising. An entirely different space of existence, and then add being disabled, or whatever word you want, and while you try to find treat you the person tell you they want nothing to do with you. I hope that never fucking happens to you dude. I hope no one just tells you to get the fuck over it, while you dip into substance abuse while you wait for MONTHS for new medicine. See why you reacted; why you are broken; why you are seeking a way up by identifying the problems with out judgement and with knowledge. But still. But STILL everywhere is the wrong fucking place.

If I were getting married in the US you know you’d be invited. But getting married here means I’m not even sure if my dad is coming.. I’ve pretty much lost hope that any friends will actually come, whether they’re childhood friends (like Kirsten), or some of my closest friends that I’ve made on here (like you). It sucks to picture none of my friends at my wedding, but that’s what I get for having my wedding 8,000 miles away from everyone. 😔

So fucking annoying.
I get on at 10 for the Childish Gambino presale at MSG. Normal tickets can't be found.....but wait....here are some other options for "HOT/VIP/PREMIUM" packages that range from $275-$575 each.

Must have released more or something cuz I was getting nothing when I checked. Will look again.
So fucking weird. I get as an artist creating something like this...I mean I wouldn't personally, but I get that someone would. But the fact that people buy these things and carry them around with them, as adults!! WTF? If you think they are cool. Great! Buy them and keep them at home. Nobody wants to see your creepy doll.
