Been working casual in this place for nearly half year, I was utterly upset about the treatment on their last-minute reasons/work day cancellations and changes on my shift - it was meant to be at least 1
I am very sensitive in interacting with coworkers as I have some bad experiences and my 6th sense is just as accurate as it is.
I am wondering if they are trying to ignore me until I make a move or they just too coward to say they don't need me anymore? What is the best way to deal with this situation? Can anyone give me a suggestion?

Dear Fox tail~
I saw you had some posts of your own last year, and in addition hade kindly tried to help some others, so it is really good to see you back, though I'm sorry that it has to be under such circumstances.
Frankly reading your post I would be surprised if it is anything to do with you at all. Unfortunately there are many companies that exploit workers with absolutely no regard for their well-being.
As you know in today's environment there are a great may people who need jobs and only a smaller number of positions to fill. In these circumstances an unscrupulous company can keep its shifts full simply by treating people as you are being treated. They rely upon vague promises to string people along, leaving them on hold, and just bring them in to work on a sporadic basis as it suits.
I would be greatly surprised if the situation improved. If it was me in your position I would seek an appointment with the person in charge, explain the situation was unsatisfactory and see if things could be made better. If promised more and regular work see how it goes for a set period- perhaps a month. If nothing satisfactory happens then I would, without resigning, vigorously look elsewhere.
I'm saying all this without really knowing your current situation or how you feel about talking this way with your employer.
I'd really like it if you replied and said what you thought
