Have you ever been ignored? What happened? How did it make you feel?

I was ignored several times before. I dont remember some but I dont really care much anyway. If they dont like me, I dont like them the same way. I will not force myself for them to like me. Once they said no, then it's a no. No more talks. Sometimes, I m even trying to dose them with their own medicine. If they needed me, I ignore them as well. What they earn, they should get.

I seem to be a fraction hard to ignore, if my life experience is anything to go on - except by bloody bartenders. Well, some bartenders. And some waiters. Perhaps they sense I'm just ordinary folks like them lol. Mind you, a lot of times I wish people had ignored me, because I also seem to have a knack of upsetting people, which has led to some interesting cases of not being ignored over the years. But nobody ignores you now, so all's well that ends well. Lash

I remember when I was a kid my grandmother used to ignore me in preference for my eldest sister. Whenever she goes out shopping she always tag my sister along but when it come to me I will always get a stern no if I wanted to follow her. I will cry my eyes out and the only thing I got was a spank on the butt. I can remember fighting for the candies with my sister which she has and I don't get. Up to now I still do not understand why I was the ugly duckling and never met my grandma's favour. But when she was on her deathbed I was there by her side till she passed out. My sister was then pursuing her studies overseas and was not able to care for her. That was the reason why I was sent to a boarding school because she hated me like a plague but it has taught me a great lesson not to differentiate affection towards my own kids, for it might be the very person we ignore who will take care and nurse us when we become invalid.

Many times Sharra. It used to bother me but now it doesn't so much. I have vowed to be more positive about myself this year. I have friends that are helping me and I am starting to feel quite good about myself. Think positive and blow the rest of them. I was made very ill by being ignored, it's not going to happen again.

I've been ignored by my teachers a lot of times. But I did not let them bring me down. I had really good friends and I would go to them and ask them to give me the notes that I missed and to explain to me the lesson. For some odd reason elders don't really listen to me which just really pisses me off especially in the church. I have no idea what I have done but it's like they have no respect whatsoever and still demand respect.

I was ignored once by this guy I worked with in public. He was very outgoing at work like myself and talked to everyone. We were at a childs football game in which his boys played and my daughter cheered. I saw him and his wife and waved. I know he saw me but he just looked past me. It bothered me very much. Come to find out his wife was very very jealous. If he had waved,they would have probably fought all night.

This is thankfully not a situation I can recall having to deal with sharra. Aside from people being pissed at me and not talking to me on purpose every once in a while, I tend to be a pretty outgoing guy and quite extroverted and noticeable I guess. As a kid I was an attention seeker too. It was usually seeking attention through negative rather than positive actions, so it was a bit hard for Teachers especially to ignore me even if they wanted to! lol. I have some very funny report card comments that I will treasure forever that attest to this. I am not surprised at your anger at being ignored, not one bit. Especially when it comes to a Teacher doing it. That is just not on. People can get catty, sure; but a Teacher? I hope the career change that came as a result paid you back tenfold!

Sharra, this happens to only a few people, and I am also in this list. When I was young, I would be ignored by all and sundry and because of this I became a loner till my 16th year.I was a fat boy at that time and I was made the butt of jokes. It was only in the last year of my school, that I got friendly with some girls(I was sick at that time and I had lost weight ) and suddenly I became popular, thereafter I was invited to all the things that young people do and of course my college life was quite good, because I was quite friendly with the college beauty. I still do not know how she selected me, when there were so many other handsome guys were going after her. Well I am going out of the track, but your question made me think of all the times I was ignored and feeling very bad about it.

Foremost, I'd like to say that I've been ignored many times before. But let me start to relate about the last birthday I had which no one among my fellow officemates remembered. In a way, I have to admit that I was quite thankful about it because during that time, I absolutely had nothing to spend for it or even just to treat them to a light snack. But if my memory serves me right, this is the only instance wherein I was ignored and yet I didn't get hurt. Remembering the days or the time when I spent most of my childhood in my grannies' place in the province, it appeared to me now that I was ignored many times by my parents and siblings since I didn't spend much time with them. I couldn't help but feel pity for myself. As a background, I'm the eldest among 4 siblings and the sibling next to me is a younger brother who is less than a year younger than me. It seems 'ironic' that my younger brother's ideas and wants come first or are considered first before mine. A few times, I would even become melodramatic and sentimental thinking that I was regarded like an 'adopted' child. Not that they should be treated this way, but I felt unimportant in family matters. As a schoolgirl, I was taken cared of by my aunt, who is at the same time my guardian, while I stayed with her and her own family here in the city where I had my schooling ever since I was in kindergarten until I graduated from college. I could go on and on with my personal experiences but I think I have to spare you from all the hurt I felt so I might as well cut it here now.

i often felt the sameway, then i decided it's not going happen anymore. if i try to talk to someone now and they try to ignore me i'm like yo helllllooooo i am talking to you dumby.

I do not recall ever being ignored. If I was, I guess it really didn't matter that much to me. People come and go and I suppose I just accepted that fact. If someone wants to ignore me, let them. They will never know just how wonderful a person and friend I can really be. My kids tend to ignore me, but that is just normal, isn't it?*L*

oh yes, I felt that I've been ignored many times, it makes me sad and devastated. Whenever my hubby had promised me something, like we're going out and he'd going home early, usually it never happens and I feel that I'm ignored and taken for granted. It seems that I'm their least priority.

Hello my friend sharral Ji, Well, it has happened many times with me and it is natural to happen in everyone's life on few or many occasions, but I do not take it serious, in case I do, I would mean to improve my immune system, which will increase my bearing power, my this feeling comes at this age of 70, not when I wa squite young. I remmebr one occasion, while in service, i wa sdamitted in one of the field amulances (Air force), no one visited me for two-three days. When I returned to my Unit, i took everyone on my heels. i wa svery much annoyed. Today, i think, I did wrong. i should have not done. Now-a-days belongingness is being reduced among family members, society. Relationship is limited to give and take only. So try and sustain. You will be more happier. may god bless You and have a great time.

This has happened several times in my life and I wonder why it happens. Earlier, I used to worry about it, but then, once it became an usual thing, I decided not to notice it and so, from then onwards, I do not give a damn whether somebody ignores me or not.

hello sharra1, I've been ignored by a lot of people already for a lot of times. Even my own family did it to me. At first, it's really so hard to accept and deal with it. Have no one to talk to and share for I felt so rejected. But then I told myself that I should not mind them and just let go. So that's what I did, for a lot of times. This way, I will get hurt that much and will not get affected too much. Should not take that so seriously for I'm the only one who suffer most and face the consequences. What is hard for me to accept was the time my own family ignored me. So, I told to myself, I'm not the favorite so I must accept it. That is life, some people are so much love others not. But then again, I'm just a human. Can easily hurt.

I've been ignored by my dad my whole life. He doesn't listen to me, understand me. He's missed out on my life. I'll be going off to college at the end of the year. And he hasn't even gotten the change to know his own kid. My mom is almost the same. but at least she listens when I talk, listens but doesn't speak. Its sad that I never really had a dad. Even though he was here, in other ways he wasn't. I've been ignored by the rest of my other family, because I was born from a second married. So in a way I was shun away. I've learned from it all, I learned not to trust or learn to like someone, because in the end. They will leave you.

I have been ignored to the extent that I have said something and the other people I was talking to had not a response. It makes me feel sad when they do not acknowledge me, and I start to doubt my thought process. What happened to you in trying to catch back up to the subject was wrong. That was not just affecting that year, but your entire career.

Yes. I do the same to people so it don't bother me. Sometimes you just don't want to hear people talk or just don't want them around. You shouldn't feel bad about it. Not everyone will like you or be willing to help. Perhaps they do like you but sometimes you annoy them. Spongebob is a good example. Squidward don't like Spongebob around because he is annoying. He doesn't hate Spongebob. He just is annoyed by him. I think you might be a lot like Spongebob, no offense.

I was ignored in a very definite way twice while I was a teenager. In both cases it was with boyfriends I was with at the time. The first one I was at varsity and we were just starting to get serious when the next day he disappeared from my life completely. He couldn't leave because we were in halls of residence but he just stopped talking and associating with me. Fortunately I still had other friends that were able to talk me through it. The next year I was at Tech. I had met a guy at Easter and started going out with him. Once again things were just starting to get a little more serious when he disappeared completely. One day he was there and the next day he was gone. It turned out to be a good thing in the end because then I started going out with the guy that he was with when I first met him and now he is my husband of 16 years. We have been happily together for 21 years now. At the time I felt stink. What on earth had I done. What was wrong with me that as soon as things got serious these guys decided they did not even want to acknowledge me. But life has turned out great since so I so not complain.

in the middle school ,i think i was ignored by the language teacher.He only talked to my best friend and pointed where should be attent.To me ,he only said just ok.OH,until now I don't know the reason . Now sometimes i was ignored deliberately by my husband .i think he want to tell me how much he love me and let me transfer more love from daughter.
