I know I shouldn't be bothered by this, but I am. Has anyone had any problems with being ignored by people?

For example, I had a coworker who left to work as a police officer but he treated me horribly when I worked with him. He completely ignored me, as if I was some evil person who deserved to be ignored. When I got a new car, he DID not care, he didn't even acknowledge it whatsoever but when my dad got a new car, he was extremely attentive about it and wanted to see it, whereas he couldn't care less about me having a new car. Also, he brought one of his friends to the place I work at and introduced him to EVERYONE else BUT me. Even I knew the guy who my former a**hole coworker introduced to everyone looked puzzled when my coworker did not introduce him to me. I mean, I try to be nice to everyone but I am a quiet person and purposely being ignored or made fun of just for being myself pisses me off to no end.

Yes, I have. And it's their loss for being that way towards me. That is all.

Like Sylkat, I ignore them. But before that, I spend a week or two killing them in my mind in all imaginable ways.

Good riddance. If it's my enemies or someone I don't get along with or someone who isn't a nice person, good riddance. No drama, no conflicts, woo hoo.

When People ignore me then they r just missing out. But if som1 I need to talk to ignores me, I just go say what I hafta say and then leave. That's only if I need to say something really important and relavent. Even if they do not respond, I know they heard me. And if they did not pay attention, then there is no excuse because I told them. However this situation rarely happens.

This has happened to me in every workplace where I have been employed, with the exception of one (and in that place although all of my co-workers seemed to like me, my boss didn't). Maybe the people who behave this way feel intimidated by being in the presence of what they sub-consciously perceive to be a spiritually, morally and intellectually superior being, and so their irrational and incomprehensible (non)-response is a way for them to cope with a situation that they just can't handle; by denying the existence of the person they feel intimidated by, they retain a sense of mastery over the situation, and this helps to soothe their battered, fragile ego.
Just a theory of mine :wink:

I just ignore them back. People like that aren't worth my time.
