How do you cope with this? Im on a family vacation, and we range from 18 to late 20s. There are four of us and i am second oldest. I am by no means particularly weird or standoffish, but they clear share a connection that for some reason i dont. They will all talk to each other, without me, and any time i try to insert myself it feels artificial and forced. None of them will initiate conversation with me, none will joke with me, none will act like i actually exist and i really dont know why. They will have group chats without me, make plans without me, and i just dont get it. Has anyone else dealt with this? I obviously want to be close to my siblings but i am kind of at the point of losing effort to try.

Get one of them alone and ask them why. Could be interesting as long as you maintain composure and a generally jovial tone. Maybe ask your mom or dad, whoever you are closest with. Godspeed.

Not your fault. Some families are just like that.

I'm in the same situation. But I said FUCK EVERYONE WHO TREATS ME LIKE THAT!!

Doesn't work. They'll lie to face

Damn, sorry to hear that. I'm also the second oldest of four and honestly if I didn't have my relationships with my siblings I would have killed myself years ago.

I cant really bring myself to do that unfortunately. Knowing them, i think they deny anything i say any way.

I can understand why. It sucks. I just feel invisible, or just barely tolerated. Only talked to when no one else is around or someone needs something from me and i just dont get it. Im not hard to talk to, i like to joke around but i just hate these vacations that im supposed to love because why would i want to be here if these people dont even like me

I'm 2 of 4 and have the same issue. I just gave up.
