Invisibility
It is a small fantasy of mine to become invisible. My desire to be unnoticed usually presents itself when the pressures of life bear down on me so much that I instinctually retreat into my subconscious. When I feel the need to withdraw from reality, some aspect of the environment I am in becomes my secret hideaway. If I am in the bathroom washing up, it is down in the shadows between the bottles of moisturizer, shaving cream, and hair gel. If I am in the park, it is the recess between the roots of a large tree. It is usually a place that is small, dark, and cozy. There, I wish I were lying safe, where no one could find me.
My desire to not be found comes from a barely conscious longing to experience the sense of safety I had as a child - to regain the feeling of certain surroundings filling me with comfort and security, as a five year-old who climbs into his parents’ bed after a bad dream. Somewhere in time we lost the inviolable security we had as children, and I often miss it, and resent that I must now take full care of myself.
The inevitability of becoming a noticeable entity that is constantly at the whim of its environment is difficult to accept. Invisibility tempts me with its promise to provide a complete respite from the worries and fears of the outside world. While I do value my self-dependence, sometimes it would just feel good to wrap myself in the security of anonymity, and let everyone and everything go.

sometimes i wanna be invisible!
ps HI BOBBYBIRD! it’s Disciple♥Rocker from CDE!
some times every one wishes that they were invisible when their in trouble or when they jus dont want to be botherd and people that are invisible ( peolpe tha dont get noticed ) wish that they are in some one s place that is being noticed .
It is possible to be invisible, or at least something like it. There are several methods - and I don’t believe many people will take me serious, but please do because I am quite good at it myself - but they all are essentially the power of imagination. One I use is to simple imagine your energy/spirit/ whatever blending into whatever your background is. Copy it. It can at least let you go unnoticed.
It takes a small amount of research and a great amount of practice, but it is possible.
GREAT site by the way. Keep it up. Finally someone who talks about real things.
hi,

e-mail me and tell me at any time

Sorry but I don’t know your e-mail. You could email be at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or AIM me at sarahkane111 and we could discuss it. It might be sort of hard for me to explain though because it was a skill that I subconciously developed as a kid but feel free to contact me and I’d love to talk to you about it.
Sometimes I want to be invincible too, most of the time for the wrong reasons. But then I’ll get to know what people really think of me when they gossip in my absence, then I’ll know how to relate to them. If I were invincible I imagine that I’ll be some kind of super Hero, going places and fighting crime, sounds lame I figure but then what good is an extra ordinary ability if you dont help everyone with it?
When I was a child my friends would ask me what I superpower I would want to have. I always said, “the ability to become invisible” because then if I felt embarresed or I messed up something I could just turn invisible when I wanted to.
That’s like me, I’d change into a 4-leg Dog and be in a room with parents or friends, hearing what they talked about and seeing what they did. I guess being a Dog would be like being invisible to most others, because they wouldn’t be as self-conscious around a pet.
Oh Yeah!! Sometimes when I’m around my ‘peers’ I feel invisible - maybe to them I am!! I get along so badly with kids my age - late middle, early high school - that my best friends are younger than I am!
I wish that I could go completaly invisible, from everyone. That would so totally ROCK!!!!!!
With me it was stopping time. It is a kind of invisibility as in nobody can see you. You can go about outside with no-one bothering you. Great when you could do with a little peace of mind. That is until you might come across someone else who can do the same thing.
This reminds me of something that has happened to me multiple times now. On a few occasions when I was with my friends, one of them would leave the room to get something. When they come back they look me straight in the eyes for about 2 seconds, then say where did he go? The first time this happened was with my friend Joe, I thought it was just a fluke. But my curiosity got the better of me and i thought why not experiment with this? I honestly didn’t expect anything to happen, but I came up with some surprising results. When one of my friends would leave the room and come back in, I would hold my breath and just stare them straight in the eyes like a statue. Heh, surprisingly almost every time I did this i got the same reaction, they would look at me for about 2 seconds, and then ask where I had gone while still looking at me. Then they immediately leave the room to look for me. I am a logical person by nature, but I can’t really think of a logical explanation to this. How can someone not see you when you are looking right at them?
Sometimes I wish I was invisible too.
