Our kind are merely ghosts.

I have felt like a ghost before. I felt like unwanted presence that no one wanted to acknowledge. It was unpleasant. I did not, however, feel lonely from it. I like my solitude and go to great lengths to prevent invasions of my space. I've turned losing friends into an art.

I feel like a ghost sometimes. Unseen, unnoticed, watching other people naturally doing what I have to fake or can't do at all.

As far as not wanting invasions of our spaces, I think many of us don't mind them, as long as they are on our terms. There is a difference between sharing our space and having it invaded, if you know what I mean.

I don't feel like a ghost; I have goals and I want to carry them out, which keeps me active and involved in things irrespective of my social life.

I can't talk to people...I developed a coping mechanism where I write all the root words I know, and explain it, and another where I write down everything I'm thinking, but I just feel like nobody will like or accept the real me. I need to be smart and pretty, but it's a goal that I can never reach.

I have times when I feel ghostey.

I walk up to people and they don't even hear my footsteps.
I say hello but there is always something or someone drowning me out.
I try to make an entrance to find a detour.
I never seem to get past the fundamentals.

I dream somedays about being popular, being noticed. Then I think what a superficial idea, and realize I just need one person to talk to, not twenty or thirty, just one.

I like being alone, but I hate feeling like a ghost when I'm around people. I like walking down the beach alone at night as long as it is empty. It gives me a sense of tranquility. Being alone makes me feel free from my burdens and the madness of the world. I enjoy being with people as long as I know them, they aren't critical of my differences, and like me for who I am. There aren't many people I enjoy being with besides family members.

Well put. I can relate to this thread very sincerely. On the upside, think of the freedom all this alone time gives us to do what we want to.

You are a ghost because you choose to be. People aren't running around town looking for friends, you have to interact with people to meet people. Stop being scared of rejection. Who cares? Show the world who you are.

Hey, did someone mention ghosts? Yes, I do feel invisible out in the world sometimes. When it happens at the wrong time, I just want disappear and see if anyone notices.

I'm not. got a pulse, body heat and everything
