Do you ever feel like you are invisible?

Question

Like no matter what you say or do no one takes any notice of you.

Answer 1

Hi yep and it gets on my nerves, You can say the same thing over and over again and you just get ignored. The worse thing is, when people say your quiet and dont get involved when you do but they ignore you how the hell can they moan at us for being shy. I went do a new years eve party and not one person was spoke to me and when I had anything to say they just ignored me. I felt like whats the point in me being here even my fiance completely ignored me, I tried to make the effort to talk to people but they where too wrapped up in there own little world, I cant win, . Come to think if it, I dont care now. Just do what you do, and when some one trys to talk to you just ignore them or not listen. If they ask whats wrong just say you not interest in me anyother time so why should I be now. most people only want you when they need you. Stand up for yourself.
Just dont take it to heart as eventually they will need you more than them.
I never do that to anyone, If im in a room especially with family and friends, I never igonore anyone and listen to what everyone says, and if someone is sat there not speakikng I try and get them to talk. I never block anyone out. I think its rude and cruel. And the people who do it are spitefull and ignorant people.

Answer 2

Yes, I've had that sensation. Not that I am actually invisible; but that no one is paying any attention, which has made me feel as if I were not even there, or didn't exist.
I've tended to feel that way only in specific situations, especially with certain people, and I wouldn't classify myself as shy. It's just a lot of the time these people are so busy talking themselves, and wrapped up in themselves, that they don't really listen to anyone.
I used to take it personally, but over time I have grown to realise more and more that it is certain people 'in their own world' rather than myself. I also have learned, that there isn't much if anything you can do to change people who are like that. Some people don't realise how much they are doing it, or how much they could be hurting someone else; and I tell people I am close to, like people in my family, how I feel about this; and then I find they are quite understanding and some make a genuine attempt to pay more attention, and some succeed. I think the key is deciding who is important in your life, and talking to them about your feelings, while not blaming them. If they don't change, put it down to it just being how they are.

Answer 3

I have read the range of replies you have had and I really wish Yahoo could stop stupid and facetious responses. I know exactly what it is like to feel invisible, in ALL kinds of situations, but the one I will tell you about concerns traffic. For years I was convinced that when I went to cross the road (sometimes after checking for half an hour) a car would come and kill me because i was invisible (did not exist). Also, that what I said to a friend went in one ear in one language but

Answer 4

Constantly at the moment. I don't know why, but it's making me feel worthless. I talk to my hubby and half the time he isn't listening, and even when he is he doesn't bother to answer.
My 12 year old daughter thinks she knows better than me on every subject anyway.
I'm getting married in August and my mother won't even look at my dress I've chosen. She couldn't be less interested.
I just have to tell my self that I'm a worthwhile person, and that it's everyone else who has a problem, and not me!!

Answer 5

usually when I'm waiting in line at the shops to get served, or at the bank. I once asked a check out girl if I was invisible and she ignored me, guess I am.

Answer 6

I used to have that feeling.

Partly it was to do with me being very shy.

I managed to change things eventually by making a conscious decision not to be so shy and to start trying to get out there and introduce myself, make friends.

It took some years of practice, but I eventually got over my shyness and the invisibility went away.

Answer 7

Who said that?!
Sorry - couldn't resist. I would think maybe you might like to do some reading up on assertiveness. You don't have to be pushy or bolshy to get noticed but pleasant confidence will go a long way. Good luck - I hope it works out for you.

Answer 8

I know how you feel, I used to always do things for the aproval of my Dad, and it seemed like no matter what I did for him and to him *Like serving him, or cleaning the whole house* I am just his 17 year old daughter, it seemed like everything I did, he wanted more or he never acknowledged what I did, he found something that was wrong with me, he is the type of person who finds fault, and he always favored my sister, by 11 months, older, and I thought that maybe if I did what she did, or I would dress how she dressed, because I was like whatever she is doing he liked it, so I lost the essence of myself trying to be like her, that I forgot who I was, it was like what I say or said meant nothing, like it went in one ear and out of the other, that erked me for years, eventually, with prayer other people began to hear me because i was oppressed so then my ma really had time to listen, but for my dad, he isn't trying to change right now, I know how you feel, and the best thing I can say is you arre not alone, I know how it feels, so much I thought that if I left they would never know, I tried to kill myself but It never worked so I knew that I had a purpose of being here, and God allowed me to help others like you, I never felt wanted or appreciated so I started looking for attention outside my family, and most of it, got me introuble, because I put my trust in someone that said they loved me, and they wanted sex, but because I never gave to em, thank god but he later acted as if I never existed, I felt crushed but God helped me over it, I think that you are unique and people can't accep that, they may think well since you are not on their level, then whats the use of talking to you, because you aren't going to agree?? You know how that stff goes,


For more help write me I will be ready and willing to help you because you are worth it, and just know that you are not invisible to me and God poo
