Have You Ever Felt Invisible?
Copyright 2006 George Siegal
I was having Post College flash backs the other day and remembered a syndrome I came up with when I was out in bars. It was called Invisible Mans Syndrome. I could actually walk right up to a woman and start talking to her and she wouldn't even see me standing there.
The Syndrome would also occur when I was in a conversation talking to someone, another person would walk up, and all of a sudden I was no longer part of that conversation. Instantly invisible! It made me wonder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was I the only person that experienced this? In searching on the Internet I found that feeling invisible was a very common feeling among the handicapped, the feeling that people don't see them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if they did, they didn't see them for who they really were. But what if you aren't handicapped?
As I searched for other articles and stories I found a lot of people felt this way for one reason or another. And for many it was a very serious problem.
According to Dr. Margaret Paul in an article titled Are You Invisible she writes How often do you end up feeling unappreciated, unseen, not valued? How much of this is a reflection of how you treat yourself? She ads if your own feelings and needs are invisible to yourself, they will end up being invisible to others. I found lots of sites where people discussed this syndrome. Many felt it's because they wanted to be invisible. They didn't want interaction with others, and since they felt this way that's what they projected to other people.
I found songs about being invisible, books about being invisible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], newspaper articles and blogs about being invisible, all this visibility for the invisible.
One of the best ways of describing the possible reason for the syndrome was in an article called Ask Philippa. She was answering a letter from a woman who felt invisible, and she told the story of a beach trip she took with a friend of hers who wasn't in great shape or that attractive but had a ton of confidence. We all know somebody like this. Philippa worked hard to be in shape and look good, yet she was filled with insecurities, and focused on the fact there weren't many single guys at the resort. Her friend met a great looking guy and had an amazing trip while Philippa had a lonely vacation.
A lot of it boils down to attitude and mindset. As I look back on those days of feeling invisible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it had a lot to do with how I felt about myself. If I had confidence and thought I would meet someone I always did.
While this is no guarantee that you will always do well, at least you'll give yourself a chance. If you feel invisible, that's exactly how people will see you, or won't see you.Topics related articles:
