I am so tired of being ignored by everyone in real life and on the internet.

I say some well-thought out clever things on this forum and not one person notices.
Then someone says the exact same thing only worded differently. Of course they get many comments and praise.
That is plagiarism which doesn't even bother me that much.
What bothers me is that WP is one big popularity contest just like real life.
I am among the unpopular misfits.

Sometimes I want to say something that will cause a big controversy but I control the urges.
I don't enjoy hurting people but they find no problem with hurting me.

I feel that people just walk right past me and don't notice me at all.
I have very little self esteem but I will say this.
I am very funny,clever and have a great personality when not scared shit-less of people.
People on line have told me that I was an excellent poet. I am not worthless like I sometimes think.

All of that was very hard to admit but I am so sick of hating myself just because the kids at school decided to hate me.
They even beat me pretty badly.

I often feel like no one likes me either. Just when I was starting to feel really bad about it someone came along randomly on WP and had a conversation with me about random things. Some people are very rude and snobbish but some are really nice. Ignore the rude ones. And also, perhaps some people don't comment because they just don't know what to say. I see loads of stuff I'd love commenting on but I cannot seem to find the words all the time. My biggest point is, people DO like you but sometimes its hard for other people too. We eventually come out of our shells though :)

EDIT : I have also noticed lots of people say the same things just in different ways. So maybe its just writing styles that some people find hard to understand.

If you're a dyed-in-the-wool socialist, have you thought about getting involved with socialist forums and the like? You might find a guy to start the, er, proletarian revolution with and all that. ;)

For what it's worth, I've noticed you. You might not get many comments but that doesn't mean no one notices you. I don't know why some people get more comments than others. Maybe because of the communication style or something. One thing I've noticed is that quite a lot of people on here seem to complain about not being heard. Threads like yours seem to appear from time to time. I'm not trying to downplay the way you feel. I'm just trying to say that you're not the only one feeling like that. I know I feel like that quite often.
Try not to let other people define how you feel about yourself. :)

I wouldn't necessarily conclude that no one notices you, I have.

A lack of comments could just mean that people feel they don't have anything to add - I wish WP had "like" buttons like on Facebook.

It helps to end each post with a question or request for feedback too.

Thanks for opening up about your feelings, I think you'll notice a big difference from now on. :)

I concur. Or at least a reputation system.

I think compared to other forums this one needs a wee update. A lot of forum now include a "like" button or the is karma and you give users a karma point etc

A reputation button will only make people feel badly again. Artrat, I noticed your posts last night. Sometimes, when a post is full of angst, I don't feel qualified to respond. I feel that I might make it worse rather than better. Or maybe my answer would be so long that I don't have the energy to write such a long response. If it makes you feel any better, we have all been where you are. One of my favorite songs "Wander This World" by Jonny Lang has been played on my youtube a lot lately.

It may not make you feel better, but at least, ironically, you won't feel alone.

I find that I speak a lot in music. It is my way of communicating my feelings.

I've noticed your posts. I don't reply to a lot of people on WP, because I'm new and haven't developed any friendships on here yet.

Yeah, I've noticed you too, you seem really neat. And when I say "seem" I don't mean to imply that you're not in fact really neat. Let's say you are really neat actually.
