From their perspective, I don't see how they could not have noticed. But I also know that they cannot possibly experience it in the same way I do - to them, it's probably something they'll notice in passing and then instantly forget about because it's not happening to them. Think about it, how would you react if you were in their situation?

It's created a chicken-and-egg problem because I talk fast and have nervous body language and a voice that seems to be in the perfectly ignorable frequency range. Whether this caused my ignoring problem or vice versa, I don't know, but either way I'm stuck with both now. Any advice or similar experiences?

BTW I used to see a therapist and told her about this problem. She suggested that I speak out when this happens and say "Excuse me! I was saying something." I don't go to that therapist anymore.

you dont give a shit about them and they dont give a shit about you. i mean this in a "common interests" way.

You have to shift their attention to you. Slap them if you have to.

I have the same problem.

I was told that it's because I lack confidence.

I'm kind of shy when I talk, I speak loud enough, but it comes across that I'm not entirely sure about what I'm saying. So people naturally ignore me.

People have evolved to follow the strongest. So if someone that sounds more confident speaks while you're speaking everyone's attention will automatically go to that person. It's not their fault that they are sheep, it's just the way natural selection programmed us.

fucking confidence.

Damn it OP!! Are you me? Seriously I have this problem too.

Sometimes, when I'm talking, I feel like I have to jump through a tiny hole in a huge centrifuge spinning at 40mph just to get in the conversation at the right moment.

Most of the times I miss and people sort of ignore me so I have to repeat myself again. My sort of soft voice doesn't help either so I have to repeat myself again DX

It's true. At heart, I don't give a shit about any of them. I don't know if this was caused by 4chan or if I found out about it because of 4chan. Either way, I'm in touch with that part of myself now.

The problem is, everyone else here sucks worse. You wouldn't believe me if I told you where I am, but rest assured that you've heard of it and then you might have guessed that there are many maladjusted geniuses here.

The point is, on another level, I care about them because we're all in touch with some different part of our human nature that most people only experience subconsciously, if at all. I'm the one with the 4chan perspective, though, so I know that on the deepest level - I don't care about them and I look forward to getting out of this hellhole.

This happens to me all the time. I think my "friends" are a bunch of self-centered assholes. Needless to say, I don't waste much time hanging out.

SPOILER ALERT: Those people aren't your friends

No, I don't, but then I'm not boring. They probably just feel contempt for you.

On the flipside, though, it could be that they're loudmouths. You get people like that; that just won't shut the fuck up so conversation is a chore and you end up waiting so long for a gap to contribute that by the time you get one the topic's moved on. These people are called blabbermouths, and not to be bothered with, the reason they don't listen to you is because they only like the sound of their own voices.

Your friends hate you because you are boring but they're too polite to say it to you. Instead, they choose the passive-aggressive path and ignore you.
Develop an interesting personality and try again.

Whenever I'm saying something important that seems to happen. If it's something pointless or random everyone in 5 miles will hear and pay attention to it.

This is especially bad with my co-workers, but that's more me being their boss and them trying to get out of any work they can. This one girl is really fucking stupid though and drags it out too much. Makes me want to stab her with one of the nearby knives sometimes. She acts like she can't hear it, then doesn't comprehend what I just said.

You are probably very boring.

Sorry.

sounds like you have not been successful in asserting your authority.

Every time they say "What" respond with this:

"Nothing, just checkin for fags."

It'll make you super popular with them.

How does one stop being boring?

How does one become interesting?

yeah you seem to have self-absorbed friends. get friends who you can actually interact and have dialogues with. this isn't exactly easy to find though -especially if you have atypical interests. the best to you anyway, op.

Passion.
As the robot will block this, I'll elaborate.
Be passionate about what you're talking. Convey a sense that what you're saying is important or at least awesome, and they will listen.

OP, you sound like a huge fuckin faggot.
you cant even hold a conversation with "YOUR FRIENDS"
Thats extreme fucking fail.
