Why am i always left out of a conversation?

At almost age 60, I experienced being left out of conversations and groups consistently my entire life. It's been a struggle, however our life journey leads us to answers that define and form our wisdom from life-experience. I am finding peace with the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom that God wants me to glorify Him with solitude in prayer rather than trying to "fit in" just two words and being ignored. In addition to the realization that people who do this to us don't intend to, and usually do not know they are doing it. That alone explains that is not my call or purpose. God wants me with Him in frienship, fellowship, and worship. As a teacher and counselor, students, and challenged children and adults tend to want my company and attention. What we usually see as "something wrong with us, or why me" as children and young adults usually has underlying strengths we will grow into later during our life journey.

Sometimes you just need to jump in on the conversation. Don't hog it, just 'join' it.
During conversations...what is your body language?
Are you closed off? Shy?
Do you seem like you're engaged in the conversation?Like (1)

2. They could be being rude
3. be an active participant, just because they seem like they're ignoring you doesn't mean they are.Like (1)

You have to 'man up'and just put in you 2 cents worth. Conversations, partucularly group ones, are very interesting... no one is interested in what anyone else is saying,unless they find soeone who agrees with them... this,of course,is competitive banter. In quieter sessions, it's probably in your best interest get a reputation for saying something intelligent,funny,or really pertinent... That's what I do... I let people blather on about all sorts of ridiculosity, and then I shoot my 'rocket'... and then ... guess who's in charge of the conversation?
Give it a try... You may have to endure alot of idiocy, and sometimesit itn'tworth commentation anyway... Get yourself a reputation for saying' things that count'!
