Do you ever feel insignificant when dealing with the people around you?

If you do, what is it that makes you feel that way? What kind of behavior does it? I feel like most people do not take me seriously, and I don't think they ever will. With some people....maybe a lot of people.....the nicer you are, the weaker they think you are. Maybe if you show people too much attention, that does it. You know the old saying, people like the chase. Another thing that makes me feel bad is when I am talking to someone and they don't look me in the eyes. Sometimes I feel like most people would not miss me or know I was gone....how long would it take them to even notice? Would they notice? Do you ever feel that way?

I feel invisible to most people...until I give them something to talk about. I'm a very interesting person behind my back.

Why do you feel invisible? Why do you think people see you this way?

@MsBooklover I feel invisible because I can be in a room full of people and they are all talking to each other while I get left out of the conversation.

NOOO! Don`t ever think like that. Have you ever thought that its not you and that they are intimated by you?

I usually feel insignificant around people. I'm always surprised when someone wants to talk to me. I know it's the sense of rejection I lived with most of my life. I don't normally look people in the eyes the whole time I'm talking to them. Not because they are uninteresting, but because it's my habit. I don't mean to offend. I usually notice when people aren't around for a while and miss them. I usually make mention of it when I see them again, either here or in person.

@MsBooklover You can always tell when someone isn't interested in what you have to say. I usually break off a conversation and leave the person. They usually don't miss the fact I've left or stopped talking.

With all that you have accomplished, I would think that you would be very confident. Most people do not look at someone directly the whole time, but I can tell when it is because of a lack of interest.

Let those experience inspire you to do better. Sometimes attention is also earn especially to those who assumes themselves elites. But anyway, not all people are like that for sure there are other people who will respect you with what you have - for who you are.

Yes I also feel that way towards other people. And when I feel that way I value myself more and way away frkm it and go on. Like for example, you talked to me and tell me how your day was. And you keep on talking about yourself and even asking or knowing anything about me. Then that is a signal for me that I should end the discussion. Another scenario is that I approached you and ask how you were blah blah then you keep looking at your phone and texting and not even noticing that I was asking you a question. That is so rude. That is why sometimes I let them feel the same way. When they talk to me I will act as if I was texting or their story doesn't matter to me. So they would know.

It is so hard for me to treat others the same way. I never learned to do that, but one thing I can do, is avoid others that treat me this way.

hi my friend.. i guess all it takes is for you to build confidence in yourself and to just be the way you are when you are around with people. Don't think negative thoughts rather always think of positivity for you not to feel that way.
