I dont mind not being seen or heard. I have not felt I was invisible, possibly because I work and interact with people all day and when I leave work I enjoy the quiet of my car and my home. I have people come up to talk to me all the time (men and women) I find it a little unsettling at times. Since I didnt approach them. Being a introvert and being invisible is ok.

I never quite thought of it that way - but it's the perfect word for it - Invisible. I don't fit in with any group - anywhere - - - even here on Eons. I am invisible - - I have been "ignored" so much that quite frankly, after enough time - it becomes a reality. I stay to myself - and over a few years, I've noticed that I've either lost my social graces - - or else I just don't give a crap - - or both. Remember, "Bert" on the old TV show called, "SOAP"??

I feel invisible quite a lot and it does bother me. I don't know that it has so much to do with age. I don't exactly know what to attribute it to, but it's kinda maddeningly spooky at times.
No, I haven't reached the point of invisibility yet...but I'm sure it'll happen, sooner or later. I live in a hospitable city, and usually if you smile at a stranger, you'll get a smile in return.

You couldn't make me invisible if you painted me with invisible paint.
I am extremely outgoing, happy and love to spread it around.
Like attracts Like.
You get what you put out, your energy and intention is the key in social atmospheres.
I will talk to anybody standing or passing by me.
People love to be noticed and in like it puts them in a better mood and on it goes.
I've never felt invisible and also believe like attracts like. I'm not "extremely" outgoing, but I'm happy and friendly... and I smile a lot. I get lots of smiles and conversation in return.
I am as invisible as I chose to be.
I find women in Northern New England aloof to a fault. If I didn't know better, I might feel invisible. But, I know its not me but them. Must be something in the water. lol.
I can think of several ways to get more attention, but not necessarily the good kind.
I've never really liked being too visible even when I was young. I'd walk 4 blocks out of my way to avoid construction sites etc, so I wouldn't have to deal with the attention. I definitely feel invisible in recent years...no more whistles or second looks. Maybe it's a young woman's game.
I prefer to get noticed by who I am and what I am from the inside. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to see on first glance. Oh, well. That's how it goes.
