[quote=Anonymous]I notice in group settings that I am the invisible person at the table or in the group.

A recent example was a baby shower that I attended this afternoon, there was a group
Ice breaker with seven people around the table sharing responses to questions prompted by a small handout card. Everyone went round robin style and kept going person to person but I was overlooked and the group continued to the next question. No mention of did we get everyone until after this short activity - the person to my right turned to me to say oh you didn’t get to go, did you want to? To which I responded yes but right then the host moved to the next activity.

This happens relatively frequently. I haven’t found the key to being included and when I do speak up, I notice people tend to brush off whatever response I have or just moving along while giving more time to other respondents. Unfortunately it leaves me with the impression that no one wants to hear what I have to say but I do want to be included. I’m not sure what social clue I am missing or is this just how different personalities interact.

What is it like on the other side when you are in the setting or moment? Do you not notice if everyone has responded? [/quote]
