This is often exacerbated by feelings of ostracism or feelings of being
ignored or overlooked. When we are ignored or get the cold shoulder from
friends or work colleagues, what can you do?
Feelings of ostracism has harmful effects on your health. When you are
excluded there is often the feeling that you are being punished — for not
fitting in with the group norms; not agreeing with someone in a position
of power; not going ailing with an accepted cultural practice of a company
or group.
People who are ostracised are often at a loss to know why it has happened.
And it is very difficult to approach someone and ask why. Often the people
exerting the act do not even know they are doing it.
A helpful way of finding out what is happening is to approach someone you
have some trust in, the person you most connect with in the group, and and
ask them if they perceive any issue which could account for you being
excluded.
Failing that are there any people outside of the group whom you can trust
to be straight with you about these questions? Seeking support from
friends or relatives is good way to finding some unbiased information.
If you are cut-off from family and friends another way to get some clarity
is to see a counsellor for a couple of sessions, just to see if you are
doing anything to promote the issue.
