Why have i always felt like the little girl in the back of the class raising her hand as high as it will go, hoping to get called on to answer a question only to be ignored? I feel like whenever I'm in a group of people I am ignored, someone talks over me or someone else brings up a subject that is just more "important". I am silent even when I'm speaking. I am unheard.

Your signature, "Excuse me, but I'm looking for the sun," reminds me of "Stand" by R.E.M. :-)

haunted. You're not invisible. I see you, and I'm glad.

Thanks everbody I needed that........

I have always had a hard time speaking up for myself or stating my true feelings and yesterday it got the best of me... a work issue that I tried to solve with a very simple solution that was bypassed by somebody with a big mouth. Well guess what? His way did not work so when I went in today I literally told him that if he would just shut up and let me speak I could fix it. He looked a bit shocked. Damn, it felt good. why is it? And my solution did work.

Jinny, my mother always told me that i sould be quiet and not draw attention to myself. I'm sure that's a big part of the reason I struggle with feeling invisible. Sometimes I really hate her for not showing me how to shine. To this day I fear speaking up for myself. It's like I hear that line from Stephen King's Carrie..."They're all going to laugh at you" over and over.

Cy- thanks for seeing me. It means so much.

Nowhere I've been wondering about me too. And i am here and I'm glad.

Perna, I haven't heard that song in a long while. Went to see R.E.M. years ago, brought back good memories.

Take care everyone. Peace.
