What should I do when I feel ignored?
I have a friend I’m going to call Jane.Jane is a great friend. We get along very well, and I would consider her one of the people closest to me.However, Jane ignores me sometimes.I’ll send her messages and she’ll read them, but not acknowledge them at all. Later, she’ll reply, but it’s always about something else. When I’m talking to her outside of social media, it sometimes feels like I’m talking to a wall. I’ll say something, and Jane will either ignore me completely or say something along the lines of, “Mmhm. Hey, listen to this - (some random thing she wants to tell me about). I once mentioned how I wanted to die, and she left me on read - then replied with message about a celebrity she likes. I’ve only started taking note of this behaviour recently, but it’s been happening for a while.Getting ignored sucks. It makes you feel like you have nothing to offer, that what you have to say doesn’t matter. However, if someone ignores you and hurts you, you should treat them how you’re treating you.I think you should try to ignore them a bit. From experience, I can tell you that it feels fantastic. I started ignoring Jane, and when she complained that I kept leaving her on read, I told her that she was doing the same thing to me, and she shut up. Treating someone the way you’ve been treated is fair, in my opinion.Another thing you can do is talk to people who don’t ignore you. Having friends that acknowledge you and your words is extremely important. Spend some time with them to remind yourself that your opinion matters, and that you deserve to be heard.One more thing you can do is let go of the feeling. Think about it this way - somebody is ignoring you. That means they don’t think you’re worth their time. Like I said before, treat them similarly! They aren’t worth your time. They’re causing you to feel upset. Tell yourself you don’t have time for people who don’t treat you right.TL;DR: Treat the person who’s ignoring you the way they’ve been treating you. Find some good friends who don’t ignore you. Let the negative emotions surrounding that person go.
Why do I feel ignored?
Hi Ironhorse,Have you ever taken the Myers-Briggs personality test? I think it might reveal some interesting character traits about yourself to you. I think we often feel ignored when we don’t feel appreciated by someone. We feel ignored when someone doesn’t listen to us in the way we like to be listened to. Perhaps we are ignored because the requests we are making on those around us are too much for them to handle at the moment. Perhaps we feel ignored because our intensity on whatever subject is overbearing to some, and causes them to retract. I think it’s very common to feel ignored from time to time— whether romantically, or at work, or meeting new people. What is our energy like at the time when we feel ignored? Are we very outgoing? Are we depressed?Sometimes it’s a matter of stating your needs more clearly to people. If you feel ignored, perhaps you weren’t obvious enough in conversation.I hope you find what you need and that you are able to voice your needs and have them heard.
How do I stop the feeling of being ignored?
Being ignored isn’t a feeling, it is something that happens.Do you want to stop caring about being ignored, or stop being ignored? If you want to stop caring, use mental discipline. Stop caring. Put it out of your mind every time it creeps back in. Focus on something good in your life or that’s planned for the future.If you want to “stop being ignored,” you’ll find that the wording makes no sense.It’s others who chose to ignore you. That is their right. You might be able to draw their attention with certain behaviors, but if what you have to offer is not what they want, they’ll direct their attention elsewhere soon enough.Generally, people will pay attention to you if you’re funny, gorgeous, slightly smarter than they are (in useful ways), have toys they want to play with, or have a car and they don’t. If you’re what they call in Yiddish a nebbish, try your luck with the other nebbishes.Noun (from wiktionary)nebbish (plural nebbishes)One who is fearful and timid, especially in making decisions and plans, in discussions, debates, arguments, and confrontations, and in taking responsibility.Try remembering that no one has the right to anyone’s attention. They’re not wronging you by ignoring you, they are going about their lives in the manner they chose to. If someone is not paying attention to you, that should cue you to reciprocate in kind. Shrug internally if you must, but move on. Ignore them, too.Instead, go where you are wanted. Explore your surroundings for places where people share your interests and enjoy talking to you and hope to see you again. If you like nature, find out if you can volunteer at a park. Animals? Animal shelter. Fashion? Sewing class. Finance? Investing club. People? Nursing home. Food? Soup kitchen. Money? Job. Better job.It takes a while to give up on a situation that has nothing to offer you, but it can be a very nice feeling once you do it.
To girls - how do you feel about being ignored?
Er.. Never ignore a girl. She feels hurt or like she did something wrong or like you aren't even interested in her. Don't let your shyness get in the way of a girl you like. Be confident and talk to her every opportunity you get. If you really like her you need to not ignore her. Be careful, if you ignore her any longer you may cause her to become completely uninterested in you. She may feel like you may use her. So whenever you talk to her just explain that you are shy and were afraid to talk to her but then stop being shy. Good luck!
Why do i feel ignored...i feel like everyone is ignoring me...?:(?
hmm.. i dont know exactly why u feel ignored, you don't describe how u are. but maybe i can help you. Sometimes people feels like everyone ignore them. In this case, there are 2 reasons why u feel ignore. first, it can be yeah, you are too much, or maybe you don't have a good attitude, or you are not cool or something like that. second, it can be they are not ignoring you, but you just feel ignore, it means that they don't mean to ignorr you, its just you that feel it, if you are in the second case, its easy to resolve it, you just need to change the way you think, don't you ever think people ignore you, just calm down and just think everything is allright. Just set your mind "They are not ignoring me" then, you wiil not feel ignored again. But if you are in the first case, it means that you have to change the way you behave. Good luck ;)

Why I get ignored by everyone?
People feel bad when someone ignores them because they gain their self esteem from the approval of others. When we were young children we were taught to please grown ups in order to be “Nice” children.As we grew up our strategy for seeking approval remained the same and so we started to determine our worth based on the acceptance we get from others, If people liked us then we feel good about ourselves and if they ignored us we feel worthless.One thing you need to do is start examining the kind of friends that you have. Why are you giving your time and energy to people who take a weakness and use it against you? That's not really an OK way to act towards someone you ostensibly care about, and it's not how mature people act. It sounds like you may be young, which explains having friends that are sort of vindictive and not very nice. I can't think of a single friend of mine who would use a weakness against me in the way you describe, because any "friend" who has acted that way towards me is no longer someone I communicate with. You deserve to be treated with respect, and it's OK to work towards that in your life.All of that out of the way, I also hate being ignored. It makes me feel icky and anxious. Here are the two things I do: First, I reframe it for myself. Any time I feel like someone might be ignoring me, I think of all the reasons they could be incommunicado that have absolutely nothing to do with me. Maybe they got really sick or an important deadline came up or another one of their friends needs a lot of attention and they don't have any energy left over. Second, and most important, I get busy and put it out of my mind. I decide they're not ignoring me and I move on. The thing that I've learned with time is that people usually aren't actually ignoring me. Everyone's life is amazingly full and rich, and I'm just a piece of it. Invariably, it has nothing to do with me even if I'm convinced it does.
Girls, how does being ignored feel?
i feel horrible, i work hard to get a guy's attention and they don't even glance or anything, it ticks me off when ever anyone, especially if the avoid me. if a close or casual friend ignored me, i would just not hang around them. i don't mind if they don't acknowledge me, because then i won't acknowledge them back. i would be thinking of ether ways to get them to stop ignoring me or i would be thinking up ways to get back at them for ignoring me, but revenge isn't the best thing to do... it only makes things worse than it already is. sooner or later they will stop ignoring you and most likely apologies
Why do people ignore me?
I feel ignored at work. I see people talking and joking around together. But whenever I try to join in, they all act like they aren't interested in anything I have to say. It's almost like I'm not even there. When I sit down at the lunch table, no one says anything to me. But when other people sit down, It's "oh hi, how are you?" It makes me feel like an outcast. I feel like I don't fit in with the group. I mean, I know I'm not the most interesting, funniest or best looking person in the world, but they could at least pretend like they're listening to me. When I'm at my desk, the only time anyone talks to me is when they need me to work on a job. I hate feeling alone. I thought this kind of behavior was supposed to end after high school. I am friendly towards other people. I'm not a cold, quiet or mean person.
