You're certainly not invisible here in WP!

It depends. I feel invisible when I don't want to be, and feel the center of attention when I DO want to be invisible.

For example, when at a social gathering, I feel rather ignored, even though I make eye contact and smile and say hi to people, they still don't look at me.

Then when I'm out in public, where I am just there to do my shopping or minding my own business in some other way, I feel like everybody's watching me, judging me, staring at me, etc.

Sometimes I do but clearly if you keep repeating what your doing or saying people will certainly notice you then. :)

Sometimes, but then I have to deal with getting attention when I'm painting my art in public at paint jams. Headphones and becoming obsessed with painting stops people talking to me

I always feel invisible. A lot of the time, I don't mind it though.
