Any ideas what to do when you are a guy who is alone even in a crowd...and is invisible even as people see him?

Ever happen to you?

 

[freakygirl]

I'm sorry..

I thought I heard somebody say something.

Guess not.



Sorry, I have no answers.. Never had this experience.

If I was invisible, I would find a sorority house as fast as I could!

 

[Olivianna]

Yup. I've been invisible before.

Maybe ask Ralph Ellison. Or, barring that, try H.G. Wells.

*~...suddenly appearing...albeit briefly...~*

*smiling* Thank you littlekateyes...


I feel like a sideshow freak -
Singing words I know I could never speak.
Stumble back, I take a seat;
I would run, but my knees grow weak...

Once confident in my stance;
Now I see I never really stood a chance.
She shoots me a sidewards galnce -
Seducing me right back in thatt trance...

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, adopt the motto "Fuckem" and get on with your life.

When you feel invisible, the best thing to do is seriously fuck something up.

You'll become visible real quick.

*~...a phoriner wanders in from the shadows...~*

Yeah, I could definately fuck something up...it's a gift!

Meow...

This destructive love affair,
Helpless in her chains I see her everywhere.
A mistress who'll never care -
She melts me again with her icy stare...

Her lips caress seductively;
Lord knows I try, but I can't shake free.
She plays my strings so perfectly -
I love her even when she tortures me...

It's another late night in a small cafe;
Feelin' like I'm wastin' away.
Another late night where I don't belong -
Singin' another half-forgotten song.
Will it get easier...

It's hard to believe what you cannot see -
I cut out my heart you watch it bleed;
I pour out my soul, an' you just walk away.
...will it get easier...someday...

Please keep writing, I like.

Look around for the other people that silently move towards the outskirts of a party, gathering, or crowd, and initiate a conversation. Most people feel overwhelmed when around a group of people, and are grateful when someone notices them.

Bottom line - do what you want others to do for you.

Is that where everybody's been hiding lately?

Evening Bob.


Phoriner, to become less invisible, you need to make yourself more visible. Talk to people. Make eye contact. Smile. Say hello.

It works like a charm.

*~...looking around my thread...~*

This is kewl...thanks everybody for showing up...I am a performer and being before a hundred people is easier than being one on one for me...

...purr...

Round and round, round and down;
Seems that's how it's supposed to be.
Spinnin', spinnin, shakin' free -
Seems that's all that happens to me...

And I get 'em - and they fly;
I fix their broken wings - just to watch 'em fly...

geeez I know exactly how that feels....and sometimes....I wish I was invisible in a crowd of strangers. I used to feel lonely in the presence of my family....

*~...my ode to to this life...~*

Sunlight streams through the window and it's time to face another lonely day;
As I listen to you breathing, I hear the words that you'll never say.
I'd be the first to tell you that love comes with no guarantee -
And as I watch you sleeping, I wonder where you'd rather be...

She never saw it that way - I guess if she did she'd stay;
But if you wanted me to - I'd have given you anything...

Your hair cascades on the pillow in every direction we've been in;
Now you want out of a relationship you've never really been in.
Our laughter melts to tears until I'm standing in the pouring rain;
You sigh in your sleep like the whistle of a lost, lonely train...

Suddenly you roll over and breathily you call out my name;
But after last night, what you didn't say - we'd never be the same.
I know you'd convince yourself that in your heart you really care;
But I'd never recognize that place - cause you know that I've never really been there...

She never saw it that way - I gues if she did she'd stay;
But if you'd wanted me to - I'd have given you anything...
...I'd have given you anything...
