Invisible

Last night I met this person who I haven't met for 2 months. We used to talk a lot and study together, so it is only normal to say HI when we see each other right? Casually, I said: "Hi (insert name here)!". What I got for reply left me stunned and embarrassed.

The person replied: "Do I know you??"


Okay so if you don't remember a person's name, it is normal in Uni because we meet so many people everyday. It is fine to ask: "Sorry, I kinda forgot your name. (execute fake laughter)". Even so, you will at least acknowledge that you met each other before. So this person I met yesterday totally forgot who am I at all. I tried reminding about our common friends, but what I got was a still-confused stare.

I gave up and turn away LOL. I'd like to clarify at this moment I got the name and person right, so I am 100% sure I can't be talking to a wrong person. What made me more speechless was I had been saying Hi to this person for a few times because we were working on a same club project, but we never had a chance to talk until last night. All this while, I would appear to have been acting like a stalker to this person???

I went home thinking was I that invisible to people? I used to have very low self-esteem in high school, but my confidence boosted a lil since I entered Uni. Yesterday's event left me empty inside again. Unimportant and underappreciated, maybe that is my fate.

The event bugged my thoughts all day. I can't find friends willing to listen about it neither, so I blogged about it. =/
