How do I stop being so unnoticed everywhere I go?

I’ve always been unnoticed and invisible, in school, everywhere. Teacher would say my name and students who have been in my class for a year or so would ask who I was, people easily forget me, I’m usually forgotten or overlooked in groups, even with friends, I’m never missed. I have always been quiet, but have b een making much more of an effort and have been much much, less quiet for the past few years. It honestly never used to bother me at all, but recently it has, I’m not sure why.

Answer #1

I am like this to Janicee. Basically im invisible to everyone. Recently people have been noticing me but that is because ive been opening up and became a little more outgoing. If you are shy and stay with a small group of friends many people wont take notice of you. If you want to be notice take the initiative and talk to people and make yourself stand out with intelligence, clothing ect. Or just by being outspoken,

Answer #2

Agreed with Rose, when I became a little more outgoing, people noticed me A LOT more. It was like, a dramatic change & it changed my self esteem just a little, too. I think the more friendly & talkative you are the more people will see you. I used to be comepletely shy & like, people actually thought I was mute. When I spoke, I used to get asked like ‘ oh you can talk ? ‘ & it used to upset me, so I changed myself, & now i’m noticed a lot more. It’s amazing what jsut a little talking can do.

Answer #3

Yeahh, I know what you mean. Being shy can be really tough! I know tons of other people who feel the exact same way you do! So don’t feel alone or anything. The best thing I think you should do is try to build up your confidence one step at a time. Every day try to take a step forward, example - stand up for yourself, speak up & express your opinions, talk more, etc. Just little steps. Maybe save up some money & go out with a friend to the mall & by some new clothes, get some makeup, try to stand out a bit more! Wearing new clothes that you feel completely comfortable & stylish in will raise confidence & what not, too. Another thing that catches people’s eyes is when you dye your hair a different color (I’m not talking about bright colors like pink, blue, or green, etc) just whatever looks best on you. I don’t know, it’s just.. you don’t even have to be really talkative or anything to be “noticed”.. just be casual, easy going, just a chill person. You can also sign up for sports teams or anything else you like doing.. cause you’ll meet tons of people. It will take time, but eventually you WILL break out of your shell, trust me, some of my other friends are just starting to break out of there shell now. Everyone has there own pace. :)

Answer #4

Answer #5

im shy i became like cool when i was at a party i was shy then out of no were i jumped in the pool and started having fun it helped me

Answer #6

Maybe you are just way to timid. If you want to be noticed you have to let youre voice be heared. Sometimes its easier to fade in the backround rather than take the spotlight, I used to be like that. I guess the best advice I can give you is to learn to just not give a fu.ck. And I know that what Im saying is nothing outstanding and people have probably told you this before, but I want you to take it to heart. Take chances, expect the worst and greet the worst with an i dont give a fu.ck smile, trust me once you acquire this confidence youre invincible

Answer #7

just try to make your self noticeable show people what their missing when your not there, be loud have fun just be yourself it doesn’t matter what people think of you. show them what your really like but I’m sure if your quite and stuff not many people would bother to remember your name or who you are. and if your friends are like that maybe its time to find a new group of people who will treat you right and will always notice you and will miss you when your not around

Answer #8

My God, girl. You are one lucky duck. I wish that would happen to me. I have the exact opposite problem- everywhere I go people can’t help but do a double take. I hate it. I wish I could just be invisible, everyone knows who I am, and as soon as I walk into a room people take a step back. Okay I just re-read that and it sounds totally head-up-own-arse but it’s true. Not in a good way though, it would be great if everyone could smile at me and remember me with nice thoughts but nope, I get the ‘girl look’ 24/7 and people remember me with this supercrazy evil bad voodoo energy all swirled up their nostrils. I’ve tried dressing down, I’ve tried blending in, I’ve tried sitting in the corner but nothing will work for me.

Maybe if you did the opposite of what I try to do to blend in, you may stick out a bit more?

- Dress up! Brighter colours! Stand tall, be confident. Wear a smile and talk to everyone. Stand in a crowded area as opposed to hanging in the shadows, be the one to start a trend.. But I reckon as long as you’re having fun, who cares if nobody notices you. Honestly, I’d rather nobody noticed me than have people b*tching the next day.
