I’m still struggling with that myself. This may not make sense to you but I’m a Christian and my relationship with Christ seems to be the only thing that really helps at all, also several of my friends …. they don’t really know what I am, but they know what I’m not and they kinda keep me in line. But that doesn’t make it easy, just more bearable.

I read this when u first posted it. After rereading, I realise that I haven’t come very far from that invisible girl I once was. My day is mainly made up of doing things I don’t want to do. Although I can be loud about politics, mostly people don’t know me at all, even my family. How do I break out of this shell without ruining the relationships I have now? I don’t know.

I agree, Skylark. We obsess, because we see the qualities we wish we had in the other person.

I stumbled upon your page the other day and was completely enthralled by almost everything I read, in fact I couldn’t stop reading. When I got to this story it brought me to tears, this is my life in a nut shell and I know lots of people have said this. It’s a terrible thing to be invisible and an even harder thing to stop being, but I don’t agree that the end result is really who she is, the realist she ever was was the little girl she started out being and I think very few of us will ever really get back to that place. The ending fit, not that I think it was a good thing but it fallowed the course of events effectively. I love your righting style, the story about not existing was also great! I have my own story on the topic of invisibility it’s a little longer =) will be on my blog soon.

that sounds like me!
except I haven’t found the ending yet
Hopefully one of these days. But right now I feel like I’m melting into the walls and becoming part of the floor, something to be stood on or walked by without a glance. This story is beautiful:)

It has been far too long since I have come to check your journal here, I cannot believe I missed this story. It’s wonderfully written, and I imagine we all feel this at some point in our lives.

I used to be different, I didn’t care what others thought. Then I liked a boy who was just like everyone else and I tried to blend in, to be like him so he might also take an interest in me. Eventually we ended up together and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life, allowing myself to fall into such traps, when it turned out he was abusive. I lost myself. When it ended, I cut all my long blonde hair off, dyed what remained of it blue-black, wore all black, and talked to no-one.

It’s almost four years on now, and I’m slowly starting to find myself again – I started about a year ago now. It’s been a frightening journey, and I’m still so confused at times – but I know I’ll get there, and reading this has helped.

Thank you ♥

I really loved the metaphor, I found it brilliant..all my life I was just the opposite, I mean, sometimes I was saddened because of I ever have been different in many ways that that made me feel alone a lot of times…
Nowadays, I knew more people like me, I’m not alone, but… sometimes I’d like to be invisible for the wrong people…if you understand what I mean…
You just show me the dark side of being invisible by ignoring myself.
Thank you. Best regards. A Spanish Reader
