Going off of what @adreamofautumn said, when you feel invisible, realize that there are people who still care about you and are willing to do anything for you. This is always true. Those who feel that there isn’t a single soul who worries about them are actually to blame they have inadvertently made that person feel invisible. The thing is, everyone feels invisible every now and then. It’s human and natural. And the second thing is, no matter how hard we try not to make it happen, all of us will be responsible for causing someone else to feel invisible at some time or another. Either we just don’t pick up on their “I am sad” signals, or we are too stressed about our own personal problems that we do not give the other person the attention they deserve.
I have been having a tiring and stressful week due to tons of papers/midterms being due. Today was the worst of the week and I returned home at 8 pm tired and ready to eat my dinner alone and then get started on the next paper. Around 10 pm, someone knocked at my door and it was my best friend and another close friend standing there with a Ben and Jerry’s icecream tub in their hand. Both of them have a major exam coming up too, but they took some time out of studying to drive down and surprise me with some chocolatey goodness and those who know me, know that ice cream is the best delicacy for me. Made me feel very not invisible and also grateful for the friends I have.
The point being, next time one of you feels invisible, I challenge you to think of such a time in your life, or think of your family/friends that you would do anything for and remind yourself of just how unique and special you are to some people. Hint Hint Alls <4
