I feel like NO ONE EVER listens to me. I get so depressed when someone doesn't listen to what I've got to say and I start thinking everyone hates me so I keep quiet for the rest of the day and just give up on socialising. It seems like EVERYTHING i've got to say is either stupid or irrelavent.

My friends say I should be a blond, but I believe I'm a very smart girl (i do not personally think all blonds are stupid though).

Why doesnt anyone listen to me?? or am I just being paranoid??
Do you think it's normal?

I'm willing to lister...
Though techincally I'm already listening.
No, I don't believe that everything you say is either stupid or irrelavent by the way.
Its true not all blonds are dumb I have friend that is blond she is very intellgent. one the other issue maby every one doesn't take you're words seriously at some point they will see that they should of.
Listening, and conveying to the speaker that they are actually being heard, is a skill and conveys respect & value. People feel quite rejected and devalued when they are not heard, as you say. So try to be a listener & encourage that in others.

On the other hand, if you are difficult to follow, it doesn't make it easy to listen. For example, why would you jump from not being listened to, to getting your hair died, and then back? One might get the impression that you are blurting out whatever pops into your head. Stay on topic & respect your audience.
HAHA Ollieo that last paragraph nearly knocked me off my seat!!!

Ok...to the subject...Just slow down and breathe. You probably have many relavent things to say and I'm sure it's frustrating at times to talk with no attention granted. Having "friends" who either tease you relentlessly or undermmind your intelligence may not be the right way to be either. Prove that you are the intelligent person you claim to be. Calm down and slow before begining a subject, and you should be fine. Good Luck.

I think i knoe how you feel. When someone is bothering me & i talk about it with someone else sometimes i feel like they arnt listening. See most people just want someone listen but i like people to respond. The only problem is the people i talk to dont always respond how i wanted them to nothing they ever say helps and some alwaysss change the subject. Sometimes it makes me just want to shut up & lay in my bed just feeling hurt alll day till someone comes in there to comfort me, but sometimes noone comes. I get what you mean im pretty sure, & its hard i cant help you out but i can tell you i understand and feel free to ask me for advice ill listen & respond :)
It's perfectly normal to feel looked over or misunderstood. What you need to tell your friends is that you don't appreciate them calling you stupid and that sometimes you would like to insert your point of view without harsh verbal criticism. (You can word it however you like of course). Just let them know you feel overlooked and treated badly and if they're your real friends, they'll understand.
Well I can understand that not being listened to might be depressing but at the same time your not the centre of the universe not meaning that in a nasty way but if there not listening to you it means your not bringing anything relevent to the conversation or there just being bitchs and dont respect you, so maybe wait till you have somthing good to say or get some new friends
