Being Ignored

Post Reply New Topic

Of course I already know I'm a perverted mentally ill weirdo. But wouldn't two of them together just cancel each other out and make them incompatable?

But seriously, when I say they were weirdos I don't mean just a "little odd". My last two boyfriends, if they weren't Aspies, they sure were close cousins and they were really cool. I'm talking public masturbators, crack-heads, men who look like something the cat dragged in, ate and spit out and a few showing obvious signs of needing to be in some psychiatric facility.......permanently.

bout 2 weeks ago at a FD drill, this guy, who I might add is a real jerk, TOTALLY ignored me when he walked by me and I said "hello [name] how are you today?".
Then we were loading up in the trucks to go to a new location to train, and my engine had room for another passenger, and he was whining about not having a place to sit, so I said "hey, {name} we have room for one more. Load up!".
The jerk walked away from me as if I wasnt even there! He put his nose in the air and then proceeded to laugh about it to another person in ear shot a moment later. I almost cried. I cant stand him, but to treat me like that infront of every one else?

That isnt the only time I get ignored. I get it quite a bit accually. And it really irritates me! Its like what I have to say couldnt be as important as anything else! GURRRR

If you work in a male dominated profession than you will get ignored a lot just for being a woman (I think)

What gets me is when Im talking to soeone at work and then someone else comes in and starts talking and then the person I was talking to just carries on talking to this new person as if I wasn't interrupted mid-sentence and as if I wasn't there.

I have now started to suspect that people ignore me because they think I don't hold grudges and don't get upset because once time when I did get upset (when someone said I was lying and I wasn't) they took it seriously. Of course, that mad me look like even more of a nut case, because everyone just expected me to laugh about it but I couldn't because I really hate lying.

people grrr

Yes, I get this a lot too and it peeves me right off! For instance, I'll say something quite normal or make a joke and there is just this silence!

Also, I have a special friend (not a boyfriend, but) who is also an Aspie and we get on really well. But then people barge in on our conversation and he is too polite to say anything. I suppose I am too but inwardly I fume. It doesn't bother me so much if it is another male getting into the conversation but if it is a female, I'm more likely to get aggravated.

I'm used to being ignored in shops but am gradually getting more assertive and one day even said "is there going to be some service over here?".

Who else here is considered to be rude because you interupt people when you think they have finished their conversation- despite not actually finishing it.
I do that often, ever since being a small child.
Also when I know the answer to something some times I just answer.
I'm really implusive.

yes, me. I just get carried away. Then I notice what Ive done and feel like a real idiot.

Yup. But the ones that ignore me on the fire ground usually find out the hard way that they should've listened and wind up in trouble....

But the intruption thing I get there, and at other jobs. Like Im invisible.

serves them right

Happens to me quite a lot, because the volume of my voice is somewhat lower than the common man. I got used to it, but if I feel that I've got something important to say, I'll just interrupt someone. I needz to be hurd!

I'd rather be talked to than ignored, but I'd rather be ignored than bullied.

I like being a selctive speaker, I endeavour to commuincate with those I actually enjoy listening to.
