or for instance, wen in a group having a conversation, that ur really just a spectator, watching, listening, but never feeling involved, like ur kind of not even there? Almost like ur invisible. Even wen people include u.

yes all the time and I am not included it seems-even when I am with a group of other aspies when they should understand that a new person may need a little coaxing first until comfortable-but I guess I am looked at and deemed unworthy of getting to be known or included.

I always feel this way in a group. I can't process the conversation fast enough to participate.

Yes, definitely--and bored out of my mind.

most of the time.

Sometimes... and sometimes not.

if i even get as far as being in a conversation i feel like this.

Yes, of course. Not because I can't process the conversation, but because I find it so ridiculously inane and boring.

I felt this way in every social situation I was in until I was about 20. It was then when I learned how to speak up and take a more active role in conversations...I was always the insanely quiet kid who just stood there and listened while everyone else felt like they were part of the group.

This happens to me a lot, especially if most of the group are people that I don't know very well, or not at all..

Yes. Yes yes YES I do!
I hate it. The invisibility is the worst part.

I have used the term 'invisibilty' quite often in describing how I feel when I am an in a group of people over the years. When I am around 1 or 2 other people I feel normal but more than that I feel totally out of place and ignored.

All the stinking time.
