Feeling ignorant

[Bashiku]

Have you ever stopped in life and felt a feeling where you are ignored by everyone? Well I get that feeling most of the times, here, rl, everywhere and I just can't find out why.
If I was a super hero with unnatural power, being unnoticed would probably be it. At begging I always though it was natural, new surroundings, new people, different views, but lately I see that what ever I do I just can't break through. That started to become my reality, with only few of people I can call companions or mostly a friend.
If there is a solution to this dilemma of mine please tell me, I really want to prove my worth to someone.

Oh dude... story of my life!!!
What's great about here is that in order to make yourself more known...is to find threads that you find interesting and as long as your not a flamer (from what I've seen you contribute, you don't appear to be that kind of poster 🙂 ) people will read your posts and respond which is one reason I like this place so much.

It's especially odd with me because I'm 6'4" IRL and pretty noticeable, yet I'm so quiet that I have snuck behind people, like a ghost and given them quite a scare. I have also encountered instances where you want to speak/put your 2 cents in a conversation but one of your party continues talking and never lets you speak. (PERSONAL PET PEEVE >__< )

Believe me when I say, I know what ya mean!

Or you could be like me and voice your opinion so loudly that everyone's ears are ringing from it. :laughing:

But aside from that, I kinda get where you're coming from. I mean yeah, everyone notices me because....well, cuz I'm outspoken, but as far as actually if I didn't FORCE everyone to hear me, no one would listen. I know cuz when I am more quiet and unassuming (although still friendly and talkative), no one ever notices I'm there, or cares, I can't tell which. All I can say is keep being you, and screw everyone else.

Ignorant as in not possessing knowledge on a topic? Or ignored?

I dunno what to tell you about the latter...but if it's the former, read lots...knowledge is power!!!!

I, Garimto, understand not such a feeling of tender solitude.

Certainly such a barrier which is imagined to block out the light of companionship exists not in the plane of man, yet in the ethereal depths of a subtle gray mind. Such a barrier cannot hold any true weight, for one may not be held back by a mind, not the mind of a man nor the mind of the man within. Such a barrier exists within the next dimension, inconceivable to any mortal. As such, this barrier may be walked through freely, by one or many.

Stride forward, comrade! This jungle within does not, cannot impede the progress of truth.

Here I agree with Excess on the screw everyone else comment.I know your pain man it seems as though alot of time's I get ignored and what I say and think doesn't really matter, but I push myself to carry on even when it feels like the world is against me,and so must everyone.When you feel your being ignored by someone talk to them and tell them how you feel,if they still do it screw them you dont need them anyway.as long as you keep being yourself and looking you will eventually find a group who agree's with you and accepts you for who you are.For those that dont accept you Screw them you dont need them in your life.

I believe everyone at some point or another feels ignored or underestimated.
I don't believe you should worry.

Think postive: Certainly not everyone is ignoring you, look at this very thread by example. I don't think your worth to others should come into question. The only thing that matters is how much you are worth to yourself. You certainly do have people who care about you, and you will meet new friends down the road for sure. Just because some people don't know you now doesnt mean they never will.

Look at it this way, i once heard this cheesy thing so here goes it
"to the world you are one person, but to one person you could mean the world"

Embrace what you have, do not lament what is out of reach.

:sad: Thanks you guys. BTW Camel26 I used ignorant as insignificant, worthless. In my language they are similar and assumed this is the case also.
Garimto I understood most of things you said, but what in hell's name is 'mind of man within'. Do you mean Alter ego?
All in all thank you all, you made my morning even better 😀

I don't have many friends and am the "strong silent type". A guy I know talks to everyone and you think he so popular but really it is sad. I have two friends that would go to the end of the earth for me no matter what and I feel that is more important. That popular guy really has no one to share his thoughts with or feel close to so which is better. Value the friends you have because they will be there forever trust me.

M8, don't try too much. Don't try to get people's attention... be yourself, and they will get drawn to you. That's what I do, and I have several TRUE friends, while also having a lot of acquintances (or however it spells, I'm Croatian, dammit!).
Trust me, I know from experience... in high school, when guys from my class would ask me to go clubbing (or somewhere else) with them, I would usually say, with a smile: 'Yeah, right, like I'd allow myself to be seen with you idiots' (or something like that, you get the point). On the other hand, there was this one girl who always tried to get everyone's attention, going to extremes to get their attention. Still, they asked me more often to go out with them (which wasn't often) than they did her.

But if you oh so want to get everyone's attention, pick first three people in your class alphabetically, hang them by their bowels in front of school gate with their cut off balls (if they're boys) or breasts (if they're girls) tied around their neck. That way everyone will hear about ya😀
But, in that case, please finish D.O.D. first😀

...cruel... yet effective... 😀
D.O.D. will continue, but it is taking a little break... Even a villains like Umojar and Samael take a day off to go to the beach and not kill anything for a change 🙂

Y'know, you just totally described me for most of high school, and I can TOTALLY back up what you're saying. For most of HS, I was what most would consider popular. I knew ALOT of people from different clicks, from jocks to punks to geeks. I could even get away with being "popular" with many of the cheerleaders.(hard to believe right? :laughing🙂 But at the end of the day, I didn't have anyone I could really talk to or share my real thoughs and feelings with. No one cared cuz everyone just saw me as 'that guy to have a good time with' and nothing else. So overtime I realized this and kinda stopped putting myself out so much because it left me feeling empty, and as a result; read my last post.

Point is don't confuse being 'popular' with being acknowledged, and being 'ignored' with not mattering. I would have given up that so called popularity for a chance to have a few real friends who really cared. I know people say it all the time, but it's true; having a few friends who really care is better than being popular and having no one who cares.
