Feeling ignored whether it's real or not.

Sassenach

I  have often felt like I am in some sort of water bubble and nobody can hear what I am saying. Now I don't think the people around me are really ignoring me, it's just how I feel inside my head at times. Maybe I'm just not articulating well enough?
This feeling then escalates into anxiety, frustration and finally exhaustion

It's quite hard to explain to others, does anyone else experience this? 

  • i believe people selectively ignore instead. and think of you as butting in on their conversation or something, not being in their social group so they dont want any social interaction with you. makes you feel like intruder and unwanted. never mind though, you dont need them and they will eventually lose their circle as people depart and then probably have a chance that they might then try acknowledging your existance instead of treating you as a intruder.

  • People not hearing what I'm saying seems to have been a theme of my life, lol.

  • Sometimes I feel the same way, too. 

    We can't second-guess what interests others. 

  • I feel that sometimes. I even talk and the person or persons in front of me do not react. 

    There is no clear cause to it but there is a correlation. It tends to happen when I am already feeling uncomfortable and afraid in front of others. It's like a self-fulfilled prophecy
