What I find so hard, (sometimes almost as fat comments) is when all of a sudden I become visible to people who haven't "seen" me for awhile. It's just starting to happen to me again, and it makes me so gosh darn mad when people who I have known for YEARS, all of a sudden remember who I am. It's not so bad when strangers take notice, but living where I do, no one really is a stranger.
For example, today I ran into town to pick up some mail someone had dropped off at the local cafe. There sits a guy who my family sits behind at church almost every Sunday for the last 10 years. I have been invisible to him and his wife for a couple of years. A nod is the most I get. Well today I walk in the cafe, and he's talking to a few other farmers and stops and directs all attention to me. He's like "Well howdy doody Lori Bell". All smiles and talkative...almost...flirty. Just ticked me off. It reminded me of how shallow people can be. I know it will happen more often down the road, and I can't just hate everyone.. How do others deal with it?
