I feel this shit happens to me alot.
Finally when i try to join a conversation or comment about something nobody really pays attention or wants to listen it's like they go on talking about their stuff.
Well this happens to me with friends and also people i work with and this suckssss
Who knows maybe i just feel this way because of my low self esteem or maybe cause i'm just plain boring and nobody wants to listen to what i say.
There are also other times when people talk to me but i don't have any comment on what they are saying(it's like my mind is blank when it's time to speak) or just don't feel like speaking so i don't but when finally i speak i'm ignored.

don't know what to do anymore... lately i feel so rejected and so alone..

"I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops me"

Hey E

I know what you're talking about. I've experienced this several times and it really hurts.
I don't think it's important what you say, no matter how boring it is, if you say it loud enough. Otherwise they will just continue their discussion and maybe not even hear you. Make sure that they know who you're talking to. If they're real friends they don't reject you for having a low self esteem or being a lil bit "boring"

I think that being ignored is much better than if other people pay too big attention on your "phobic" behaviour... :wink:

But sometimes I actually feel ignored, especially in the net - because it's rather rare case when I say something oficially among other people in real... :?

I think as sociophobes we kind of radiate that we feel our voices don't matter and that in a way, we don't want to be heard for fear of scrutinization or criticism. People pick up on this stuff. It's hard to change because being unobtrusive is in our nature, and for a lot of us it's pretty scary to be heard. I know I for one feel scared shitless when people are looking at me or listening to what I'm saying, despite also feeling a need to be acknowledge and appreciated. I think that dual feeling is difficult to manage.

Hmmmm this is intresting i feel the same, its like they dont expect you to speak so when you do there like wtf and just ignore you. I get this from most people and i hate it. Like i will say something during a convosation and they will simply say something totally diffrent after or just look at me with the wtf look.

I know, you guys are right. And even today, not even my family talked to me. So i went upstairs, and no one even cared where i was.... urgh, life.
