Rohag is always so wise. If reaching out is not working, then try just greeting them appropriately, making small talk as appropriate and then going about your business. People may not understand an invitation to lunch or movies early in the relationship. For example, an invitation to the movies when someone comes to borrow your notes might not always seem appropriate to them. Making a witty requip to any conversational attempt on their part is always good, but wit doesn't always come easily to those who feel depressed. Sometimes I have felt that I was invisible to others, and I, too, have been snubbed. Rather than reaching out, I always sat in public restaurants and the like and did my homework, paperwork, etc. Having people around me was enough social contact for me, initially. I really became immersed in what I was doing. Eventually, through hanging out in the same place, people came to know me, and we became friends. Just a thought. billieJ
