Warning: Long Rant

I'm not sure what my annoying habits are to outsiders, but I know the most annoying thing about BEING me is that I'm invisible. Really.

This isn't something I can really explain to anyone until they see it for themselves, but I'll try. My voice is rather naturally soft and quiet...I may speak at the same volume as everyone else around me, but for some reason I blend perfectly with whatever white noise is around. Whether it's a room full of other people talking, soft music playing on the radio, or just the wind outside...if I'm with two or more people, there's a good chance I turn invisible.

What exactly does that mean? Well it means everyone I'm with, suddenly, for whatever reason, no longer notices/sees/hears me. I could yell or scream at this point, anything short of running up and HITTING the person I'm trying to talk to won't get their attention. Worst part is that it happens All The Time. Teachers, Parents, Boyfriends, Friends, Boss at work, you name it, I've been stuck this way around them. I hate it so much...but like I said, it's one of those things you really have to see yourself to figure out how bad it is...and sometimes when it happens, there's one person in the group who realizes what's going on...they can still see me, and they typically end up laughing their asses off while they watch it, until I ask them to get whoever I'm trying to talk to's attention for me.

(Understand at that point I've probably been jumping up and down, yelling, screaming that person's name, talking about wierd/dirty/strange things with the person who can hear me while nobody else pays attention, possibly even talking about the person who isn't listening...and this could be in a car, or standing in line next to whomever isn't hearing me...it's not a distance thing at all either.)

Now, whoever can actually see me that I've asked to get the attention of the other person for me usually goes "Hey, (whatever their name) Razz is talking to you." in a nice calm, quiet, regular voice. Really. Ahh...it pisses me off so much sometimes. Usually I just give up unless it's important.
