Feeling invisible

[Eagle12]

Why do people treat me like I don't exist? We had a gift exchange at work. I tried so hard to find the right gift for a person I knew nothing about and wrapped it up beautifully. The person who had my name never have me a gift. They didn't give me a reason. They just didn't bother don't it.

I was thinking of my sister one night who struggles to get by financially. So I wrote her a quick note that I was thinking of her and put a little money in it. My friend asked me if she got it yet. I told her no because my sister will send me a text when she gets it. I was talking to my mom earlier and she said my sister got it yet days ago. Why does no one see me?

Wow.. that’s hurtful I’d suggest that your sister may be going through something deeper than you know but that is your sister so I would straight up ask her what her reasoning was. Sometimes people need this because it’s not your fault she didn’t seem considerate of your efforts

Now that co worker seems like the person who doesn’t care about others or their feelings unless they just don’t celebrate Christmas??? Either way these things don’t have to with you in my opinion. I say this because even if I didn’t like the person I’d still give them gift if I was assigned to. It’s really a personal problem that co worker has and I’m so sorry you feel invisible but the truth is you’re not. You have a bigger impact on others than you think! Don’t ever give up your kindness or genuineness because of others inability to see what youre worth. I’d love to have a sister or co worker like you 🤍 they are lucky!

You are spot on with your answer LGrace! It has NOTHING to do with Eagle12. These people would have done the same thing to anyone. There is NOTHING wrong with you Eagle12!

Hi! I often feel like this too. A lot of times this has nothing to do with you but really the other person. Perhaps the person who drew you for the gift exchange was having a bad day? Maybe she was too depressed to do it? Or she was busy? You just never know!
