Being Invisible

I'm not the only invisible person in this world.  I'm learning to embrace this quality as a super power.  

There's plenty of us around.  People aren't aware of this thing because they are talking over this invisible person.  Or interrupting them.  When an invisible person talks, people will not respond to what they're talking about, but another subject.

It's not just about talking over someone.  It's about not paying attention to people like the invisible because we're paying attention to the ones who speak the loudest and complain the loudest.  Invisible people are generally happy with what they are given or when they have a concern, they try to address it in a manner that's thoughtful and won't hurt others.  Their concerns generally get ignored.

I was and still am somewhat of a quiet person.  I can be rather talkative around someone that makes me feel comfortable but I'm not good at small talk.  I find it awkward and kind of insincere.  So yeah, most of the time I get ignored.

I never demanded attention so therefore, it was really easy to forget me.  There were a lot of times people forgot to invite me somewhere and would feel so bad about it.  After awhile, you get used to it. 

It doesn't make me a sad sack for saying that.  I don't think having a tantrum or being the loudest voice is how you should get the things in life that you want.  I don't know if I'll ever master that trick.  

I think if people stopped and paid attention to those who didn't demand the whole world keep their eyes on them, they would find out what they're missing.

I'm pretty awesome for an invisible person.
