Social Is it normal in life to feel invisible as a man?

[KeepingItReal]

You know there's bald, depressed, middle aged men with kids on here?

That's quite sad. If they are bald and middle aged, they have enough issues as it is. Why be depressed on top of it?

I'm kind of chuckling a bit because there are times were I don't get much attention and other times I strangely get to much attention. It tends to be due to my health. I have an auto immune condition that acts up from time to time. When healthy I can find myself receiving a decent amount of attention when out and about.
My personal preference is to not receive much attention.

I'm in my mid twenties, and, maybe I'm just having a bad week, but recently I can't help but feel like I feel very invisible when I'm going through life. I do have friends, but most of them live aboard now or are too busy to meet up and do things together.

Nobody really seems to interact with me besides cashiers or librarians when I go to collect books from the library. Even in the BJJ clubs I'm in it feels like most people don't really mix with each other beyond a name only basis.

Does anyone else feel this at times? I've read through US-centric forums like reddit, and there is strong undercurrent from the answers that this is what most men experience when they go through life.

The more you do for others people the more visible you will be. The more time you are selfish or spending on your own the less respect you will get and the less visible you will be. Service is really the font of meaning.

If you really want to feel invisible, become homeless or mentally ill and people will pretend they don’t see you. Sorry you are going through this. Things do get better.

A good ole fashioned vision quest…

Have you tried meth?

It gets a bad wrap because some people can't handle their drugs, but I thought it was quite an under rated drug.


Pretty sure fire way to bring some excitement and adventure into your life and meet interesting people with wild stories.

Some men have their missus and only their missus. When the missus goes, they're lost.

So... solution is to find a new missus?
