I am the kind of person who doesn't seek attention daily. I am not the go-getter. I just wait for my turn, trying to be patient with people. When I do want to be heard, I do want to be listened to. I do not want to be ignored at all, so just hear me out. I don't think anyone wants to be ignored either. Or do you?

We don't want to be ignored, correct. But I wonder why there are people who wanted to always have the attention of others, I mean, they don't listen, they always wanted to be heard. They should learn to pay attention also if others are talking.

I have no idea either. I just can't get their attention as to understand why they have to have all of the attention all the time.

There are so many people that don't like to be ignored. Everyone wants to feel special and important to someone. Being ignored is like being rejected. neither of these is pleasant to experience.@lynlypiochy (706)

We do want to be needed by someone. Imagine if we weren't given the importance that we give to someone we really love. It would really suck. It might even devastate some people.

Just like you, I'm not the type of person who always seek attention. Most of the time I lend an ear to people who want to say what's on their mind. However, sometimes I too voice out my own stories and it really hurts when people don't listen or act like they don't hear. It takes some respect to listen to someone talking and if you're the one talking and they don't want to listen, it's just like saying they don't respect you at all.

My thoughts exactly. I mean, it isn't all the time that one person would want to be heard, right? Well, maybe for people like us, it wouldn't be all the time. But still, they must at least learn to listen for like five minutes or so.

I don't think you'd be ignored now, though. That's a good thing.

I am with you in this case. Although in some occasions, I prefer to be ignored by people. It happens when I found that he/she loves to talk about themselves. The better choice for me to be silent. I do not want this happen, when they pretend to listen to me, they are actually never do. They make a show in front of me. Dear, God never ignore you at all. So you never be ignored then.

What I mean was when I wanted to be heard and then people ignore, but yes, in the case you presented, I would ignore the person as well. I do it subtlely so they never even notice I ignored them. 
I know God will never ignore me, but people will. It's fine but it still is not a good thing.

Being a person who doesn't seek attention myself, it would really make me feel bad if at the time that I do seek to be heard, no one hears me out. It will really piss me off and expect me to get mad and ignore you by the time you change your mind and talk to me once again.

Well i think we all hate to be ignored, it`s annoying for all of us, because we want to sustain our point of view or maybe we have a problem and we want to talk with someone , to get an advice, and in that moment is frustrating to be ignored. I know it happend to me many times, to ask for help, or to talk with someone, and to be ignored, it not so very nice.

I know. They should at least give others a chance to talk. They could also at least show their respect by listening to what we have to say. Being ignored is like a slap to my face. It's like I am not important that they could just afford to ignore me.

If it's unintentional, that's fine with me. But if I knew that it was done on purpose, that's a different story. People once thought I ignore them but the fact is that I didn't know they were there to begin with since I am near-sighted.
