You remind me of a great joke: "Doctor, it seems like everyone is ignoring me, what should I do?" - "Next patient, please!"
Seriously though, you are not the only one who feels this way, I go through periods like this too, and often (plus my Russian accent makes it hard for Americans to understand me). You need to realize that most people always like to talk and never like to listen. So when you say something and they ignore it, it's probably because they cannot wait to say something of their own, not because they avoid you. You should just try to respond to what they say, then they'll listen.

Good thing about everyone who surfs this website, is that everyone can empathise with each other. I was/am the same, schools tough for everyone an it can be especially cruel, those who arent outgoing and loud twats, usually get unfairly sterotyped, nice.
My part time job was the same, i started and they all thought i was this shy quiet girl, which really annoyed me, but i also didnt make that much off an effort.

To tell you the truth, very outgoing, loud and obnoxious folks can sometimes be annoying and are often avoided. I know one guy who talks all the time, makes inappropriate comments about everything and teases others whenever he gets the chance. I also know at least three people who hate his guts (and two of them are women, so outgoing guys aren't always popular with the ladies). Sometimes looking at him, I realize that my own quietness is kind of a bliss.

My problem is, I tend to migrate twoards people who are probably too outgoing, borderline obnoxious ;D just because I know that they will monopolize the conversation but, whenever I want to say something they are thinking about what they want to say next. With anybody else, I have their full attention when I say something and than I get flustered and stumble over my words and never actually get my point across the way that I want to.

I am the same way...I am always ignored in school, which is sad because I knew almost everyone there since I was a child, many people all of a sudden see me and say "oh, I thought you moved" when I had like 2 classes with them the entire year!!! At home I am not really ignored, but I am always the last to know anything and I get along horrible with my parents and brother, and I dont have a job, and I am really fearing that because the bad things always seem to happen to me. |
