How does it make you feel when you are ignored in social situations?

Question

Do you ever find yourself in social situations where everyone seems to be ignoring you? How does it make you feel?

Answer 1

i used to feel like that, especially in high school. But i think as I have grown older and become more confident in who I am and what I am about, people seem to respect my opinion more and want to know what I have to say. Most of the time, if you are being ignored, it's because you are putting yourself in the corner. Speak out, chin up and be confident. Your energy will speak for itself!

Answer 2

I would agree with the last poster only as only as long they're people worthy of your respect. I've always found that insecure people tend to flock to one another. If they're ignoring you because they're too wound up in themselves, it doesn't matter how confident you are; everything you say will fall on deaf ears. That's a bit cynical, but then, you could try finding a different crowd to hang out with.

There are multiple kinds of disorders that deal with anxiety. Although most can manifest in similar ways, these disorders generally occur due to different events in your life. Natural home remedies for anxiety https://tr.im/Etrze
Generalized anxiety disorder includes persistent and unnecessary worries about everyday, common events or activities, which can disrupt concentration and lead to other issues, such as depression.

Answer 4

Always! I feel invisible, like a ghost
Ususally content with this, but there are times
like needing to ask for the bathroom and can't find anyone who can detect me.

Answer 5

Yes, sometimes at school. And it stinks!! But, on the brighter side: I have some friends who are opportunists, and I know that they just want to suck up to the more popular people. They'll be normal again in no time.

Answer 6

it depends on the people who are ignoring me. If its someone i care about im very concerned and hurt. If its aquaintances or people I dont really know im concerned but i dont care as much. The only thing that concerns me is why they are doing it not because they are doing it.

The important word you use is "SEEMS TO BE" ignoring you. Because I have found from my life's experience that it is very easy to make that kind of assumption but really it was all in my mind. But it also depends a lot on yourself. You see in my case I used to WRONGLY believe everybody was laughing at me and talking about me behind my back at workplace or in social functions like being down the pub. What I used to wrongly believe to be my character defects I convinced myself others used to laugh about among themselves when I was out of earshot or perhaps take advantage of for their own gain at work like making secret nasty reports about my laziness or mistakes, so by getting me into trouble improving their own image with the management getting promoted while I got sacked. None of this was true but this belief affected me by giving me a big inferiority complex. That inferiority complex made me habitually try to convey the impression to everybody else in my company that I was far better than them in everything, I never did things wrong and it was somebody else's fault not mine and everybody else was stupid not me and I tried to dominate conversations and generally be thoroughly boring. My biggest failing was too often opening my mouth and saying stupid things when it would have been so much more sensible to keep it tight shut and enjoy the company of others enjoying themselves.

Only time, experience and realisation eventually got through to my skull and I also learned to understand that where I did get myself disliked it was entirely through my own stupidity and attitude by talking too much and not listening to others.

Bit by bit I learned the secret of getting on with other people is to try to equate to them, help them sympathetically when appropriate, but also enjoy fun and humour at my own expense not theirs and highlight my own shortcomings not theirs. So make them feel good about their superiority etc. etc. and emphasise I consider myself a ninny and a git for having done that, even if it was really somebody else's mistake not mine. Thereafter I found I got on great with others and others liked me a lot better.

That's about me but is this true about you? I am not sure but hope this may be helpful if that is your problem and good luck?

Answer 8

Real bad, but then If you haven't done anything to be ashamed of, I ignore them for their ignorance, and walk out with my nose held high, and say when you feel sorry, call me.

I am the forgiving kind (But never forget!)

Answer 9

You're obviously uncomfortable in that environment so don't go there. If you're uncomfortable in clubs, don't go to them. I'f you're uncomfortable in parties, don't go to parties. You're not relating to the people you're mixing with so mix with other people.

Answer 10

It makes me feel good because it confirms my belief that I am a social leper, a moron amd miscreant, a no hoper...
