Being Ignored
Recently, I was reading a post by undyingnova and she mentioned that she is very shy and rarely does not just jump into a conversation. But recently she did and she was interrupted.
I never feel ignored.Do people tend to ignore what you are saying?

that image literally made me laugh out loud.
and… FIRST!
I’m interrupted like it’s their job.
People always ignore what I say.
No. Usually it’s the case that I change my mind about saying something, and then the person presses me to know what I was going to say. It can make me nervous.
I’m pretty quiet in real life so when I do talk, people listen.
Ya see, if you open up the Top Secret Area in Super Mario World, you can get a one-up mushroom there every as long as you currently have Yoshi. If you don’t have Yoshi, you can get his in the Top Secret Area and then get the one-ups.
I’m sorry, what were you saying?
except for some occasions when i am trying to make it impossible to ignore me, yes i am typically ignored. Actually, even sometimes when i am trying to make it impossible to ignore me people still ignore me.
Not only am I ignored or interrupted, I am often told what I cannot talk about.
I think sometimes people hear what they want to hear.
It depends on who I’m with. And whether there’s a football game on TV.
yes, and i am also told that my presence is offensive and that i make my presence known too much.
I was interrupted like crazy last night. I can’t stand to be around people like that. Shesabitch.
one has to exist to be ignored. As far as most of Xanga is concerned I don’t exist. You have made the rare stop at my site, I guess it must be completely horrible, but don’t really care, there are a few who Know where I am, and who I am. That’s good enough. I’m not exciting enough for the world LOL.
I was in your friends list for 3 years, and you visited my site only twice. Like the 99% your so-called Xangan ‘friends’, we all know how it’s like to be ignored by you.
I don’t generally get much attention here on Xanga. I still get that happy feeling when I see that *someone* has visited my site, let alone commented on it. But in real life, I have many friends and it’s very hard in this town to be ignored. I can’t go anywhere without knowing at least five people. Some of it might come from my job: I work at the liquor stores in the city.
I will literally be mid sentence with people and they will just start talking about something entirely different… This isn’t just in groups, this is more often in 1 on 1.
It isn’t as if I’m a quiet person when talking. It may just be my voice is so low on frequency that they cannot hear it. >„>
ALL THE TIME.
sometimes i think people may interrupt you without even realizing it, unfortunately.
Actually yes I am interupted quite often. or i’m just flat ignored by everyone. I have just learn to speak when spoken to and to just flat mind my own business. I hate being ignored or interrupted.
Oh and that picture looks a ton like my cousin, except my cousin is slightly more male (only slightly) and nothing on that desk looks like it could evolve into some creature that would be potentially hazardous within the next few hours to all of mankind. I swear I have been chased out of his room by a growling sock before.
NOT IF I SAY IT WITH ALL CAPS
I’ve been told I have an air of calm command about me that makes people pay attention, I don’t see it though.
rarely but i ignore people who talk too much or have nothing relevant to say
I don’t know. It isn’t my job.
all the time
I am one that gets lots of conversation and that is good and I enjoy those that chat with me and I have very good friends. Bro. Doc
IRL…I would say that I’m not ignored, but disregarded. People hear what I say, it just doesn’t make a difference.
@jersey_jenn - That’s because it’s air…you can’t see air!
Yes, my family has always done that. It’s cool with me though because I hate talking.
lol….great question. When I’m with a group of people, I’m typically ignored and/or interrupted. I do pretty good when I’m just with a couple of people.
she just needs a few drinks in her.
I don’t like to be cut off either and I try not to do it to others but sometimes I do.
Sometimes, but sometimes that’s a good thing.
I think tall men like yourself are noticed the most.
Yes. There are a total of three, including yourself, who ignore my site even though I’m a frequent visitor to you/them. But in your case, it’s understood bc you have such a huge following, I don’t think it would be possible to answer each and every person who comments. I don’t think the other two I’m referring to have any good excuse.
No, I have a large physical presence and people tend to stop and listen when I speak. If anything, I have a bad habit of interrupting other people.
Why is this a top post?
It really depends on the people I’m around.
But I do like that pic, lol.
Did you just say something?
Not really, I usually feel respected and heard at work, home, with friends
it doen’t matter, does it ?
I rarely post comments (let alone posts) on Xanga and when I do, it’s assumed I do it in such a way that people are not interested enough to respond. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. [shrugs]
I have three kids…of course I’m ignored when I talk.
How do you interrupt someone on the computer?
I don’t think I get ignored? But I may not notice if I do, so that might be an incorrect statement.
I LOVE YOUR PIC!
Yes.
I am the youngest of four and was constantly interrupted growing up. I lived with it because I always felt like what I had to say wasn’t important enough. One day when I was late teens my brother interrupted me. I pointed it out and he didn’t even realize he had done it. These days I make it a point not to interrupt someone and, if someone interrupts me, I point their folly out and inform them that I wasn’t finished with my statement. I wish more people on these political talk shows would follow the rules of conduct.
People don’t ignore me. They listen, take my stuff and spin it around on me. They make me sound like gibberish or focus on irrelevant details.
Undyingnova is so pretty. I think people might be jealous of her, or they try to find faults with her to make up for their own faults.
On-line maybe. In real life, I think people are probably shocked that I can speak. If I say something, they usually pay attention.
No.
Absolutely..i’ve learned to ignore being ignored with time and realize i do it to others as well..and half of the world seems to be ignoring the other half as a rule..iv’e noticed that those who are listened to are not the most interesting but the most confident..
no. because i’m interesting. not to say undyingnova is not interesting. another skill undyingnova needs to learn is that people who are shy and get shut down when they finally DO speak out, need to also learn to speak UP.
I am not ignored anymore because I don’t talk unless someone actually wants to talk to me which is rare
Absolutely! I feel like when going to PC and working with the students who I used to work with because I looked the way I do; I was ignored on a daily basis.
at home and facebook, yes. at school, not really. on xanga, i have no idea. there’s too many miles and a blank screen to tell whether or not if i’ve been acknowledged.
i don’t like being ignored, as i go through hoops to be considerate of others by not ignoring them. but not everyone is like me. *shrug
by the way, i really like that picture.
Is this what this site is all about??? Yikes, I joined for friendship, sharing my writings and meeting some good folks, it doesn’t sound like a real friendly place to me???
It happens to some people but I recently decided that these people may not be worth the time of day on Facebook or in Reality-Land so I’m doing some major weeding out!
I love that picture.
I don’t see what a gamer girl picture has to do with feeling alone and ignored.
@TutelageOfTheMundane - That’s the way of humans, sadly. Most speak to hear themselves talk and only listen to others long enough to figure out if the person is reaffirming their opinion. People usually only like to talk to people that agree with them. No one likes to be challenged.
