I am. I've been invisible in real life for a long time but have only recently acknowledged the level of my invisibility in the virtual world. Conversations of the nature of the one below happen all the time when I'm around:

OP: What noise does a dog make
Me: Woof
Poster1: Meow?
OP: No, that's not what I'm thinking of.
Me: It's woof.
Poster2: Is it moo?
Me: No it's woof.
Poster3: Is it baa?
OP: No it's neither of those.
Me: IT*S WOOF. WOOF I SAY!
Poster4: Is it woof.
OP: Ah yes Poster4. That's right, of course. It's woof.

Arrrrrrrrrgh.



:lol: :lol: :lmao:

My experiences exactly. My remedy was to quit giving responses altogether. If they can't appreciate my input, I'm not going to waste it on them.

Like throwing pearls to swine, seriously.....

Um, I don't think they "forgot" you, unfortunately. They just didn't want you at the party and made the infamous NT "I forgot" excuse.

I consider myself invisible- on the outside looking in... :?

So I can relate to this completely (very rarely do I get a response from one of my posts).

I can't help but think it'd be preferential to be deliberately not invited, because at least then you've made enough of an impact on the person to affect them. Being forgotten is the worst, because it makes you feel as though you're not even enough of a person to make people dislike you. They just literally forget you exist, and it's horrible.

I'm not invisible, I'm understated.

I'm invisible when it comes to interaction like what you described. But when I'm just walking out in public, I'm noticeable like a flourescent light what catches your eye. Shame it's not the other way around. Life would be much sweeter. :cry:
