Being Easily Forgotten

[A Desert Rose]

Have you ever felt like this? Like, everyone is nice to you to your face, no one seems to dislike you, and then, *poof*, you completely disappear from their minds the second you walk out of the room? Well, that's how I feel, all the time. People act like they are my friend, and I'm sure that the like me, in a way, but then when it comes time to make plans for the weekend, unless I am in teh room, they forget all about me. I've had people actually walk up to me, seemingly angry, and ask me why I didn't show up for a birthday party, and then have to patiently explain that they never actually bothered to invite me. I've had people forget that I worked in the same building as them, and was once promoted in the Marines because everyone forgot I existed.

Is it possible to make such a small impact on those around you that you may as well not exist at all? How many of you are going to scroll down the list of threads, and not even see this one?

It doesn't happen to me often in RL, but it has happened to me with online "friendships" and I use that term loosely. And I waste no time thinking about it. It's not my loss.

You should not either. Find your bliss and live it... with or without others.

Ugh...maybe I should just stop being such a goddamned crybaby? Fuck it, I kick ass, I'm cool, people like me, why should I whine because life isn't what i want it to be? I dn't know...I try to make plans with people, and they end up backing out at the last minute, or make plans with someone else, or...wait, maybe people don't like me?

I thought you were a cool dude right away, Johnny, and I'm a really good judge of coolness.

Me too. Us gifted children need to stick together.

(See, I remembered that from a post of yours a while ago. You do make an impression.)

Thanks Ruby, you aren't so bad yourself...


I'm almost done feeling bad for myself, thank you everyone...the good news is, these moods only last for a few hours, and then I forget myself, and get back to feeling like the absolutely rocking guy that I am.

OOOOHHHH...now I'm feeling good! I was almost there, hanging on teh edge...and that one put me over the edge! Thanks, dude...did you ever come up with a more creative racist slur for yourself?

Nah. Busybody folded under the pressure.

I proved that he really just wants to get his hair braided, wear baggy pants and listen to Snoop Dogg all day. He's been repressing.

Johnny (if that's who you really are...)

I'm going to encourage you to think about those feelings now, while your not feeling invisible. Figure out what is going on now, while it is not a current issue, so that you can avoid getting into that place again.

Sorry for the therapist-like tone...

Matt? Now that I know it's you I can go ahead and let everybody know I'm really Don Cheadle! Us celebs don't need to be ashamed to be posting on a porn board!

I agree. You and I, baby, we could take over the world together, and corner the market on cool people.

I'm impressed that I impressed you.

Hmmm...I'm still the Invisible Man...except now i'm able to focus on the good aspects of it. I rarely get in trouble at work, beause everyone forgets that I'm there. Shoplifting is a snap. And...ummm...no, that's about it! Still pretty goddamned cool!
