Q&A Comments (6)
How can I cope with being overlooked at work?
Practice doing deep breathing to help distance yourself from these negative thoughts. This can also help lower your overall anxiety.
How can I feel less invisible?
Take some time to examine when you feel most invisible. Is it at work, or when you're hanging out with certain friends? Try to figure out if a certain environment makes you feel invisible, and how you act when you're in that type of situation. Focus on what you're feeling and thinking, and target any negative thoughts you're having. Remind yourself that these thoughts aren't real, and that they only gain traction when you believe in them.
Can victim mentality be cured?
It can, but it takes time and patience. You need to learn that it's okay to not be the victim in every situation, and that it's okay to be vulnerable and see your own role in things.
