I don't know. Because long term isn't really why I'm upset. I want to feel included in a group and I want to be excited for something. So after Smash is over... I suppose I move on to the next thing. But it's becoming increasingly hard for that to work anymore.
Like Crash 4. I should be super excited for that! And at times I am.... but it's not all encompassing the way hype for something like Smash is. Probably because the current behavior of the games industry gives me no reason to believe that it will sell well and revive the series. Why would it? It's not dark. It's not serious. It's not deep. It's not emotional. You don't shoot things. And it's not a souls like.
I just don't know anymore. I feel like when I was a kid I was always excited for the next thing. There was always something to look forward to and I always had a blast! And then... it all just kind of went away. Because even with the things I like that are still around, I don't have enough faith in other people to believe they will stick around afterwards. Not to mention I had a small group of IRL friends that I spent endless amounts of time talking with about all of it. I wad really close to them. And then they all just... stopped responding to my messages. Like I was outdated and they needed to move on for the sake of progress. I really miss them.
I think your biggest issue is the overreliance on other people to boost your own happiness.
Firstly, happiness is overrated. It's a temporary emotion and can be compromised very easily. Something as simple as a stubbed toe can ruin your moment's current happiness.
Second, you need to focus on just being more present within yourself. You are sitting here feeling left out of a conversation that others are enjoying. Do you feel this way every other time you're by yourself? When you're sleeping? When you're eating? Going to the lou? When you are playing video games? If not, then why do you feel this way now? What's so different now then when you're on the potty? Perhaps you get up to get a snack in those moments you're not having a meaningful conversation, but you feel differently then as you do now. Even if all of your irl friends left you for whatever reason. They have their reasons, and if they weren't good reasons then they weren't cut out to be your friend to begin with. Abundance, there's plenty of other
friends you've never met still out there. This may sound arrogant but you need to consider it a privilege for others to be in your life, not the other way around (as long as you don't gloat about said privilege, you choose them and if they don't want to be there for you then you don't have to stay with them either)
Third, you probably need a purpose. Some sort of mission in life. A mountain to climb. Focus on climbing it while having a goal to build yourself towards. I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm assuming you are young as most users here are, so don't stress yourself if you haven't thought of anything meaningful for yourself yet. Some people don't even find their purpose until they are old and grey. But take up hobbies, try things out for a time and see what resonates with you. If something clicks then do that. Even if you have "more important" things to do like work or school or whatever, try to fit it into your schedule, even if it's just a bit at a time a day.
I'd also suggest meditation as it'll help you learn to stay present and in the moment.
