This is Anne... Complete and Real

This isn't going to be a really whiny blog. It's more of an observation sheet.

I've noticed how people don't listen to me.

It happens a lot.

Someone will be talking to me, and oftentimes when I attempt at replying, in a moment of silence when I'm clearly supposed to reply, and I start to reply, they interrupt me and change the subject. Or whenever I'm trying to tell a story or say anything about myself at all they ignore me and talk about something else.

That's so degrading and it kind of makes me want to cry. I mean, I can totally talk to one of my closer friends, and try to ask them something, or say something, and they will completely ignore the fact that I even have a voice.

I must be really really boring and I didn't even realize it. No one pays any attention to most of what I say, and nobody listens to my opinions. Man I really have a shitty place in the hierarchy of human conversation.

I think this is going to be the first time I have cried over something in relation to my feelings in a long time.

I also noticed that when talking to people I am rarely asked about really anything to do with me at all. I mean no one ever asks "how are you?" and no one can OBVIOUSLY tell that I am not doing very well, so it's like, I'm locked in a world of silence.

And it hits me why I use JoeUser. Because this is the only place I have an opportunity of presenting how shitty I feel, and where someone can actually see and listen. Of course, i'm definitely not one of the often-read writers, so that's disappointing, too. My purpose of being here is so that I can actually come undone in a "community" and show people how I really feel, how I really think and act. This is also the only place where anyone even knows my opinions at all. JoeUser is the only place that knows how I think and feel about things and man that is pure desolation.

And nobody even cares to find out anyway.
