Do people put you on ignore in real life too?
At work a woman has me on ignore because I called her on something she said that couldn't be true. I guess I could have let it go, but I was tired of her crap.

So now she has me on ignore IRL. It seems childish, she actually told the secretary with me sitting 10 feet away to tell me something. I just rolled my eyes. Whatever.

In other areas of my life I've felt like I was on ignore for a long time about many things. In my marriage that was a feeling and a theme.

I have another situation that I've ended up on ignore for the moment, I'm hoping it isn't a long term thing.

I guess the only common denominator is me. However, I also am learning to stand up for myself and realize that I am worthy of having people around me that don't put me on ignore.

So just another take on the valuable ignore function on DU, and the useless ignore function in real life. Or useless in my mind.

1. I sometimes feel like I am totally invisible...
Unless someone wants something from me.

26. Yes
I feel invisible sometimes in so many areas it makes me insane

I have a prediction or suggestion and lately it is like people don't want to hear it. Even if I'm right,

2. i have a few people on ignore
Edited on Wed May-28-08 12:06 AM by kagehime
i look right through them because they are not worth my energy. if they acknowledge me or attempt to engage me in conversation, i am polite, but i do not seek them out

edit because i apparently have zero reading comprehension: it feels like a few people have me on ignore, but i know that it is because life is happening (at least in most cases)

13. Ya really, I mean
I hate it when someone or a business has Fox news on, its like a harbinger of the lack of quality and reality that exists there.

19. If you count being invisible
the same as being ignored...then, jup.

Most of the time. Unless it's something bad, then I tend to stand out like a neon sign in a confessional.

23. I WISH I could put a certain person on ignore IRL.
My experience, and what I live by is "What goes around, comes around." And NEVER with any interference from me. I've seen it come to fruition several times now.

No need to worry about this obnoxious person any more. She, predictably, pissed off the wrong people, at the wrong time. I knew she would fuck herself, eventually.

And I didn't have a damned thing to do with it!!!

27. Put a woman at work on ignore because I couldn't deal with her b.s. anymore.
Edited on Wed May-28-08 01:08 AM by devilgrrl
This woman has been in a bad marriage for the past 15 years, she knew it was a mistake after two days but she's still there and finds the need to yammer on about it 24/7. She's perpetually miserable, if it's not her marriage, it's her commute and when anyone tries to suggest something to make her life easier she has a quick excuse handy to not do anything about it. On and on and on....

Her histrionic behavior has also effected her ability to get her job done properly. Every project, many of which are very simple tasks, turn into monumental ordeals, everything is major-league drama. Not one project I've ever worked on with this woman has ever lived up to the stress she puts everyone through.

After two years of this bullshit I finally discovered that she's nothing more than a sympathy whore. That's it, I'm done. Over and out!

To be honest, I've never really done that to people before until recently. Just cut them off like that. It was I who was normally on the receiving end of it but I just finally snapped, I don't need people like that in my life. What a phony!

Oh get this! After all this blew up, I heard that she was in therapy. You want to know what kind of therapist she's seeing? A friggin' Psychic!!!!

She doesn't want to do anything about her miseries. She wants people to tell her things that she wants to hear.

:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

28. It's happened before at work.
A guy who used to work with me decided (wrongly) that I had ratted him out to the boss and he dressed me down and then stopped talking to me, walked away whenever I was in the area.

S'allright. It was a quick and easy way to find out he was a jackass.

30. I hear you, dude.
My family had me ignore for years. All of a sudden, they're in my face but in a weird kind of way...like they're half way there, not really commiting totally.

I hate high school behaviour in adults, especially ones you work with. You should put gum in her hair.
