Being ignored, invisible or not acknowledged by others
Have you ever experienced a time when people just don’t see you. That no matter what you do you are ignored, seemingly invisible your presence is not acknowledged almost like you don’t exist.
Repeatedly ignored, not acknowledged in interactions with people
While staying with a friend we both went off walking through their local village. It was a great day, the sun was out and it was actually quite hot. This was the first day like this after winter.
So, there were people out for walks passing through the village and at times they would start up a conversation with my friend. I would try and join in and this was the interesting thing, although this happened about three separate times and once even while sitting beside a couple at a table cafe, no matter what I said; no one acknowledged my presence.
I am not seen, people don’t speak to me, I don’t exist
It was absolutely amazing. I even walked around and stood directly in front of one couple to say something and still I was invisible. My friend was quite stunned, she could not believe what she was seeing either. Not one person even looked at me, not one directed a comment at me, not one replied to me when I spoke. I might as well have not existed.
You could say that these people were being impolite or ignorant.
In spiritual terms I would be common to be told that you either have to find what inside of you is RESPONSIBLE for causing this or in most cases you must ‘let it go’, to not allow it to effect you.
For many years I had been becoming progressively appalled at the ‘let it go’ approach; which is basically a sophisticated way to avoid looking for a cause, a way to adjust yourself until something does not bother you while you still have people ignoring or not acknowledging your presence?
Perhaps rather than say ‘let it go’ perhaps you should be saying ‘perhaps something is ACTUALLY causing these effects?’
Cause and effect is not applied to life challenges?
The cause? I found subtle energy based interferences acting to prevent people from engaging with me, listen to me or acknowledge me. Over the next few weeks I cleared lots of combinations of these. It turns out that there were rather a lot whose aim was to keep me isolated and secluded. I remembering this sort of thing as in being seemingly invisible and unseen happening in other phases of my life too.
As there are no concepts or understandings that ‘SOMETHING’ may be acting upon you to cause these types of situations then people don’t seriously think in these terms.
In fact it’s quite disturbing to think in these terms? Because where do you draw the line?
For you reading this now? How easy is it for you to even just consider the possibility that something hidden and unseen could be acting on you and be responsible for these or OTHER situations happening in your life. Sounds crazy, yes. I could not agree with you more. Sounds crazy.
On the other hand we have concepts such as cause and effect in common and accepted use if not RAMMED into our consciousness. No effect without a CAUSE. It seems that perhaps we are happy to think in cause and effect terms for just about everything EXCEPT for life situations.
Just because your brainwashed by science that subtle energy stuff is nonsense well it must be true? Mustn’t it? On the other hand my clients are steadily disappearing these types of ‘weird’ life issues by getting rid of subtle energy shit which bizarrely turns out to be what was CAUSING them. Getting rid of the subtle energy shit CAUSES strangely enough results in the EFFECTS these were having on my clients no longer happening.
Getting rid of them is perhaps rather a better strategy than of continuously backing into a smaller and smaller ‘let it go’ hole that has you adapting and adjusting in effect shutting down your responses while people STILL ignore, don’t acknowledge or treat you as invisible in particular situations or phases of your life?
Causes . . . . people not acknowledging you, ignoring you treating you as invisible, irrelevant, people not answering you . . . .
Effect . . . . . that’s fine I’ll shut myself down, I’ll disassociate, desensitise myself to life until these things happening no longer bother me . . . .
Causes . . . . people not acknowledging you, ignoring you, treating you as invisible . . . . STILL HAPPENING . . . . .
Seems a bit of a stupid if not CRAZY!! strategy to me? Might just be the sort of strategy that people super glued to certain ideas or assumptions would use rather than REALLY look for some uncomfortable and maybe scary causes? What do you think?
For those of you suffering from these types ‘CAUSES’ I will sometime put up a site with resources (audio files for you to work with), that will strangely enough actually make you visible, seen and acknowledged. This is unlikely to happen before Mid 2009, but it will happen.

. . . Hi I'm presenting some examples of resolving life issues that are beyond the 'norm' to illustrate what is possible in healing terms.
Yes, you can let something go, but if you do not find the source of it, then it comes back again.
Also, if you are being the effect of something, and don’t know what it is or how you contributed to it, or the mechanism of entrapment, then maybe you will continue getting trapped by the same type of thing.
Disturbing, but accurate post. I have experienced this phenomena first hand. What would you recommend to deal with this phenomena of invisiblity, disrespect, and never acknowledged? As you said, letting go just leads to shutting down in regards to this stuff…it doesn’t make the experience stop happening. Perhaps is perpetuates it?
Thanks for the enlightening post. Definitely energetic sludge or down right assault. Don’t make us wait until mid 2009…can you give us some direction?
@Cara Yowell – Hi Cara, sorry but I’m in a bit of a catch 22. Resolving these types of things is in some cases easy in others difficult. I made a decision a while ago to keep developing the technology to a point where I have figured out how to offer resources for people to work with independently on a web site which will in most cases address many of the issues presented on this site and lots of others. I have developed the work to this level and this is what my full time clients use BUT it will still take a while to write documentation and adapt the presentation and so on and so I am drawing the line and not do individual ‘one’ off clearings MYSELF else I will end up running round like a headless chicken and have myself and this work frozen because I’m too busy. BUT . . . . I will pass your details onto a client of mine whom is starting to work with others – he can give you a session and sort this out . . .
I saved the lives of 17 ambushed marines, for this I was relieved from duty and publicly shouted down, To cover the negligence of two CO’s I was given orders, sent out to die without proper weapons for me or my troops, I was posted to pacify a VC town, The success was unacknowledged. I’ve experienced this crazy unacknowledged life throughout my career in film and photography projects.
Hi Don, I can attest to you having something strong not acknowledging you. I got an automated mail telling me a comment is here to check out and normally I’d get here within a half hour or receiving this mail and deal with it. Yes, I’ve been very busy this last week BUT it’s still no excuse, a 30 second time slot puts the comment up.
How do you clear the subtle energy? It is very accurate of what is happening.
Hi Gianna, there is always subtle energy crap causing these sorts of things mostly things done against people and less frequently things done by healers and therapists to ‘help’ in past existences to keep others away that caused problems . . . . which are then still operating in future lives.
I feel this invisibility from time to time, throughout my life. I’m glad I stumbled upon this site to read about other people experiencing this, also. Sometimes I think the explanation lies in the paranormal, or maybe it is just a directive to others from God. I guess that would be the paranormal.
Boy, this is rich. I post a comment about being ignored and invisible on a site that deals with
‘Being ignored, invisible or not acknowledged by others’. And what happens…I’m ignored, invisible and not acknowledged by others.
Well, at least I have my sense of humor.
@Elizabeth – Hi, Elizabeth, you left a comment on this page which I approved and displayed (Not ignored). That comment did not ask any questions or state that you wanted help so I did not presume that you wanted any? Many people don’t. Cara, whom left the second comment toward the top asked for help and so did get a response and had these issues addressed and resolved by a colleague of mine.
@Clive – I’d appreciate any thoughts on re-forming energy or ideas what is strong and blocking. It’s painful.
@Don Wiechec – Don, can you use the contact form – I’ve sent you three e-mails to the e-mail address you’ve given with the comments and obviously none get through. I did this from the first comment.
Howdy all!
Just wanted to report that the healing protocol was not like anything I’ve experienced before, and I’ve been involved with many energetic healing techniques. Will post more…but I had to just dip my toe in the water. I can say I am definitely not being ignored and disrespected any more! Kind of at a loss for words on how to describe what happened, but will do it anyway.
I worked with Samuel, all via e-mail to clear these areas and the SelfHealingHandbook (http://www.selfhealinghandbook.com) has been helpful, too.
Stay tuned as I get my sea legs on how to describe this life changing experience . . . Whew! . . . . Cara
All through my life I’ve been ignored, overlooked and felt invisible. I’ve got intelligence, I hold down a job, have hobbies, always look tidy, but I’m still invisible. Thank goodness I’m happily married or I’d feel totally cut off. People even cut into what I’m saying and speak over the top of me. This happened recently at work, so I decided to try raising my voice to finish what I was saying, but the other person carried on too, much louder to the point where it was embarrassing. People also seem to keep me at arms length even when sharing hobbies and interests. I joke to my husband that sometimes I feel like Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense! My husband says it’s because some women are jealous and try to freeze me out, but he would say that wouldn’t he! I get the feeling that people take against me immediately. Maybe I’m trying too hard to be liked – I’ve made myself a benign, simpering, smiling, quiet, eager to people pleaser to get people to like me, but that’s wrong too. So, am I cursed with bad vibes and if so, please, what can I do to sort this out.
Hi Jules, Would you like to work with someone to turn these areas around? I’m too busy at the moment and I suspect that the therapists I’ve trained are busy too BUT only for a month or two. Let us know; use the contact form.
Being ignored, invisible to others, taken advantage of…. yes, it seems to me a normal occurrence; something I learned to expect but HOPE would not happen.
Sometimes, it’s ok. It has been (and often still is), protection against people who would do me physical harm in most cases; at least when I was young it seemed ok. It still hurt but I do recall resigning myself to it as if I were a slave like my great, great, great grandmother was.
Most times I could actually observe the reason behind such behavior towards me. Now, that I am in my 50’s, keeping a precarious hold on a battered body and mind, when I actually need to be noticed enough just to get a job, the silent but obvious snubs are more welcoming to me than those more subtle, back-handed lack of acknowledgement; being considered an afterthought like forgetting to wash your hands after a messy moment in the bathroom.
I suppose it’s my age now that I speak out loud about such observations. I speak out with firm accusations tempered with the observation of their behavior and watch those who would treat me so, jerk awake for a moment. Their faces are frightened and, well, full of shame at being thus called out. It provides them with validation for their pre-judgment of me, who they do not know and do not want to know.
I am angry for a few minutes and seeing that this same behavior in them, times millions of other humans, makes for a sad, social and spiritual existence in this too short life.
I retreat. To the solace of my husband, my only true friend; to moments of hope that die as would a stillborn child; to writing in rage; to pleading with the deity I KNOW exist within me; to pushing my body, obese from illnesses and too much work even farther that it has the strength to go.
I retreat and wonder if this is all there is to the golden years of my life? Has my deity already died and moved on? Have I truly lost not only confidence in my ability to make a living? Create a quality of life I seem to entertain less and less?
Perhaps being ignored is not so bad. If it is done long enough, one loses the will to fight or love humanity at all or maybe it just comes down to that silent scream.
Hi ‘H’ often when people cause us harm or threaten then our strategies to keep ourselves ’safe’ are often about making sure that we don’t encounter or engage with such people. In effect you retreat AND most clients that have experienced the same have been found to have lots of barriers and ’subtle’ energies around them making sure that people stay away from them or they don’t take any notice of you even if your right in front of them; it’s the result of lots of still present ‘protection’ because of past events.
All of my life I have felt inferior and this world treats me like I have the plaque or something. I am not good at making friends or the friends I do have for some reason they do not talk with me any longer. I do not think that I have done anything wrong. People at my job the vas majority of them hardly even say 2 words to me unless they need something. I really do not see my purpose for being on this planet. What is the point?
It seems even at social settings, I feel over looked and ignored and is make me mad. Why should even make the effort to make these morons like me and I feel like if they want to talk with me step to me why should I make a fool out of myself. I have a hard time being friends toward people a lot of time they seem to give me attitude and I do not think that I have done anything wrong but mind my own business.
The vast majority of my Coworkers I do not talk to them or like them and do not care for a couple of my supervisors either because they seem to have an authority problem.
I have been at this particular job for a few years now and have yet to get promoted and often overlooked. I am know that I am highly qualified to do the job but you have people who are supervisors who have less education than myself who are appointed as a supervisor. Well, I am not glad for them at all because that does not have anything to do with me and I could care less. I only care about myself not those other people because they sure do not give a damn about me their actions show it.
I wished I had never been born or existed what is the point or purpose. I guess the only way people treat me like I am special if I was rich or something or struck money in the lottery then I guess they would be nice and acknowledge me then because they want some of my money and I would tell them off and were to stick it. I do not care about a lot of people’s feelings because they have zero regard for me and my feelings. I get so angry and jealous because people often ignore me but to talk to others. I hate other people talking to others but snub me like I have a disease or something. My life is so messed up for real. I wished I was perfect and rich and never having ever need God or people. I do not like wasting my precious time asking for help or making a stupid fool out of myself.
Dear Ms. Diamond,
I know your frustration and pain. (if I may say)?
Good for you, though – I don’t even have a job. My Name here is Un because it describes me to a tee: Unacceptable, Uneducated, Unskilled, Unlikable, Unlovable…. Somehow I’ve gone 54 years in this sad, painful, isolated life. I truly don’t know why I was not to have a nice life, like most people seem to. I am a very good, kind and generous person. It is the essence of me that is just not acceptable. Rejection has always been inevitable, so now I just keep to myself. It’s actually less painful that way.
You will be in my thoughts.
I read your comment and the subsequent reply with a great deal of sadness. I too have suffered the same “ignorance” at places of work, which makes you feel invisible and worthless and no the answer is not to keep to yourself but to analyse your own qualities, what do you like about yourself, what can you do that others can`t and then try to do these things so well that these others have to stand up and take notice. If you still cant make headway with these people then you may need to consider a change of career. If life makes us miserable then we can change our life. My change of life is to start working with people who can`t help themselves i.e. mentally challenged or people with learning difficulties who rely on others to help them.
Ms Diamond, you could be my twin on many levels! Just goes to show you aren’t alone…and, you aren’t being totally ignored.
Your post sure grabbed my attention.
I share your exact sentiment to a tee. I have gone thru and going thru exactly the same thing.
Hi. I have been ignored, not acknowledged, passed over, etc. at work and in my first family. My talents or skills have not been acknowledged. I have always encouraged others in my family and my co-workers, but get none in return. I see it as jealousy, but what can be done about it?
Recently I said some weird strong and condemning things to a person who was in a weaker position.. I blasted him.. and put him way down.. and I live in a small village.. everyone has heard about my meanness.. I have no where to go, I feel sorry for my husband who has to live with a wife who has a bad reputation. My actions confirmed what had already been known that I am unstable and can freak out.. how does one live with this feeling?
im talking about being “invisible” i walk around to try to talk to what once was my friends i try speaking to them even standing in front of them they think im n ot even there. my twin sister blankes me i even live in the same house as her its like she tryies to walk through me but she pushes me out of the way and walks on, ive tried to ask why she blanks me and obviously she doesnt awnser me. she never askes me to go out to town or something with her to sort things out i even try asking but when she does end up listening to me she says that she is not going out but infact shes sneakily going. this makes me very upset as she has never asked me to do some fun / sister bonding things. i wish people can at least speak to me for once. ive tried to ask friends of friends whats going on but they say im diferent but the only diferent thing about me is that no one speakes to me.i hope anyone can give me advice thank you
I don’t know what it is about me, but I am invisible – even when I blog.
My comments are thoughtfully written, insightful, articulate and civil, but I might as well be writing with invisible ink.
I really don’t get it.
I’m not looking for answers. I was just venting.
Thanks
