Fascinating
The level of insecurity at being "left out" fascinates me. This isn't a vent or complaint. Just sincerely scratching my head at how this personality is created. I'm sure there are more of him out there.
My SS16 cannot bear to be left to do something on his own if the rest of us are around. It's bizzare. He's stood (just stood) in the kitchen while I've been cooking. He sits next to BS15 the moment he turns on a video game, and will then follow him upstairs when BS15 gets up. He will even sit and endure a TV show with us, despite having no interest in the show, and not being able to use his cell phone while we are watching it - instead of going off to do his own thing. Thursday he sat there picking at his nails and fidgeting, clearly not enjoying himself - instead of going to his room or another TV room to do something he wanted.
Fascinating. And makes me appreciate how NOT messed up the rest of us are lol.

He hates it. He used to feel
He hates it. He used to feel pressured when SS16 sat down next to him to invite SS16 to play with him, and then SS16 would be distracted (the other TV, his phone, his fingernails, whatever) and not play anyway. I told BS15 to stop inviting him then. If you're playing a game, just keep playing.
He used to follow BS and his former girlfriend around in the house too. If they went to the recroom, he followed. If they went upstairs, he followed. It was creepy.
Even now, when he's done getting ready for school, he'll stand in the kitchen, sometimes for 15 minutes, while we drink our coffee in the adjoining room. He doesn't go anywhere, just hovers there. (He used to join us at the sofa, but I think I sent out enough mojo energy to get him to stop that.)
