Parents

It's about 12 30 and I'm sitting here in this house alone thinking of several things.

I'm pretty upset tonight.
Probably over something that shouldn't bother me at all, but for some reason it does.

Tonight i found out that Derricks parents don't like me.
It all started when we were talking about D's brother's gf. I dont know the girl and D was telling me all about her. I casually made a joke "Oh, They like me more don't they?" And he says "no, they say that you don't talk enough."
I thought he was playing so I kept asking him questions about it. And I realized that he wasn't playing.
These people don't like me because I dont talk to them?! WTF
His dad NEVER speaks to me.
His mom says a few things to me every now and then and I speak back just as I would to any adult.

I'm shy. I dont know how to carry on a conversation with 40 year old people that I've only met 4 times.

It really hurts my feelings that these people don't even know me and they judge me. It also hurts my feelings that if this casual convo hadn't come up, I probably would have never know this. I would have been totally oblivious to the fact that they don't like me. The thing is, D had told Chad & Lauren about this 2 wks ago, and Lauren had told Jessica. So everyone knew but me!

Maybe I'm over reacting. I dont know. It just hurts my feelings. I really care about D and I want our families to get along and I want us all to be happy. I want his parents to like me and I want to like them.

It bothers me a lot when I know that people don't like me. I just don't know how to fix it.
