Dear vainindoom:

“my friends at work.. took turn playing the game the whole day”- your friends at work play a game the whole day.. don’t they work?

They played a game and left you out. It is always hurtful to be left out, be it when we are children or old people: no one likes to be left out.

“I tried to fight this conditioning of mine and accept this fact“- can you define the word conditioning (in the context of the topic of your thread) and state the fact that you are referring to in this sentence?
