I have become invisible

i think i write in invisible type
glad it's not only me *BBbevan and whywhywhy

I still work (now part time yah!) and most of my colleagues never make me feel that way. They are mostly much younger, though I suspect one or two of the much younger ones are slightly in Awe. I’m 64.

When I go out and about though I do feel very invisible
I hope to continue working for as long as possible, but who knows, it has given me confidence and the feeling I still have things to offer

I definitely do no feel invisible to the younger generation, in fact I feel more in tune with them. Why? Because I am interested in THEM. It is a two way thing really they will only think we are invisible and unapproachable if we make ourselves so.

BBbevan me too!

I often feel invisible on here

When we get into our seventies we are ignored by certain groups. I don't mind. People of my own age smile and chat and babies and small children respond to a smile usually. Younger people are busy and very much involved in their own world to notice us oldies.

Rosenior and Megs36 thank you. X

Why why why, Me too.

I love it. Being invisible means I get to hear conversations I shouldn’t, ignore keep out signs because I’m not noticed. And make people jump out of their skins if I decide to make my presence known.

I feel invisible most of the time but I don't go out to be noticed. Never have. I don't think it's only to do with age apart from obviously no-one fancies me anymore nor I them but I hope I am aware of other people whatever their age.

I sometimes wish I was taller and had a louder voice, especially when ordering drinks in a crowded bar. I may come back as a man, a tall man.

Kandinsky..that was rather a harsh post..

Framilode I was amused by your post ( wild laughter) I should continue laughing in a carefree manner if I were you, just to annoy them.?

Sparkling do you mean that you don’t see family or have friends?
If you live alone and don’t go out much, I expect it’s easy to feel invisible.
Or is this not what you meant?

whywhywhy I read your comment .

I think that when you are part of a loving family you feel part of things, I understand that. It's good most of you feel that. Kadinski, it wasn't about wanting anyone looking at me, just seeing me.

Sad to hear this Sparkling! ?

Who do you want looking at you at your age?

As long as my family and friends dont think I'm invisible...and they dont ..so that's fine..I KNOW I'm not invisible..and you mustn't think that you are Sparkling ?

I definitely feel invisible around certain people and I never used to. Sometimes I feel invisible on this site.

No, we're not invisible, we're important members of society! Remember this at all times, smile and make allowances for the younger ones - I'm sure I regarded everyone over 21 as beyond the pale when I was 17!

We moved to a new village a couple of years ago and it has taken time and effort to integrate. Somebody told me I had a smiley face, it made my day. However, someone also said I had 'wild laughter'. Still I suppose it's better than being ignored.

I don’t feel this at all. I find if I smile at people they smile back. I do live in a friendly town which helps.
I hope you feel better soon.

No not at all and I've reached the big 70! Perhaps I was invisible before!

When we were younger, we ignored old biddies. Now it's our turn. It doesn't bother me!

Oh Sparkling am so sorry you feel like this, love your name, so hope this is just a temporary feeling. Guess it all about
getting older and not maybe being needed so much by family.
I feel invisible when barged by in shops, I just barge back, but not every one has my anger issues ?
I’m thinking, just to feel better generally, that you can treat your self to something lovely, some sunshine would be uplifting.
I hit 70 this year, not sure how I feel about that, ok I guess, to wake up and be breathing. Did reaching 70 get to you?
Take care of you ?
