It's incredibly isolating when there is a game you are super keen to play, but your gaming group powers through as a group to end game, leaving you on your own to play catch-up.

They make promises to help, but magically they are always to busy even for a ten minute assist to help kill that boss it took them five people to take down.

A little empathy would have gone a long way, perhaps an invite to a group when they've rerolled their fourth character while I'm still levelling my first.

The people I'd been playing games with for the past few years stopped including me even on a token level. 'We thought you were in guild/server/discord already.' Never did get those invites.

You just got shit friends, there's communities on here to find people to play games with, always someone on there looking for a gaming buddy, check some of them out, they all seem pretty cool.

No argument there. Just have to find a new place to game from.
