Even when I do manage to speak up, sometimes it's like I'm not even there...

yep, that's one of my biggest pet peeves. that and being interrupted. like, blatantly interrupted. you might as well be ignored b/c then they obviously don't care what you ahve to say... it makes me mad

It seems like no matter how loud I talk, no-one hears what I say. Maybe it's the quality of my voice? No matter - I still feel like nobody appreciates what I say.

yeah me too. in group work and stuff or even with friends, i try to get a word in and people ignore me or just talk over what i'm trying to say. it pisses me off so much! grrrr
it must just be because they know i'm shy so dont think i have anything to say thats worth listening to, charming eh

Maybe the best way to deal with this would be to say what you have to say with the assumption that it will be ignored....

This way speaking up won't seem like such a big deal because you don't have to worry about all the attention being on you....

And if you aren't ignored it's even better isn't it and you can slowly say more and more things Smile

I know how you feel about wanting to 'shout in their faces', in similar situations for me I feel as tho one day I'm going to flip and just let them have it! (*secretly cant wait till that day*)

But then you do have to start taking small steps now and again to achieve your ultimate goal, and if that means speaking a bit louder than you usually do or using more hand gestures or making more eye-contact with people then so be it!

Remember this quote:

"The reason people fail rather than succeed is because they trade in what they want at that moment for what they really want in life"
