So, last week I had a mini stroke during school, and no one even noticed something was wrong, like how do you. It notice someone having a stroke right in front of you? I just don't think anyone notices me at all. I don't really have any friends there. Only a few people ever talk to me at all. It's hard to spend so much time somewhere you are always alone.

It's noticeable, but maybe they tried not to worry to much.

i don't have any friends either in school, it's not easy, but i talk with people online when i'm there, so i can kinda make it through

Whatever you do, don't try to get people to notice you, not because I don't want you to be noticed, but because people will act shitty to you if you do.
Just be yourself, and if that doesn't interest them then they are not the right people for you :)

I think it was more a case of "not wanting to be rude by staring at someone who's having a stroke" than " not noticing"

What I started doing was opening up more to the people around me. I didn't keep all of my thoughts to myself and I started voicing opinions and expressing myself more, rather than keeping myself in a box all to myself, and now I have conversations with a lot of people on a regular basis. You just have to step out of your comfort zone and people will begin to see you for who you are

my noticeability really varies on how much i contribute to conversations on a daily basis as a whole. for example, if i talk to people in my chemistry class(1st period), I notice I talk to my friends more during brunch.

I don't have friends at school, just online, i usally just wait so i can talk my friends online after school. Sometimes i take my phone in and talk to them at lunch if i get too lonely.

I used to be quiet but I hated it, so I really pushed my mum to allow me to switch school and when I did I forced myself to be loud and proud. At first it was hard like really hard, I didn't know how people would react it was a huge gamble, but I did make friends and I eventually I forgot how to be quiet. Every now and again my depressive self breaks through but out of like 14 people in my friend group only 2 really know what I feel on the inside and they help me through the bad days.

ok so show them who you are by your actions like get the door for people give up your seat and be kind i know i would want to be your friend

i don't seek out friends but i'm kind to them and they come to me and most of my friendships are long term my longest is 14 years

also a good way is to join a group that has the same intrests i.e. a sport or club

This was me as well in public school before I became homeschooled. I was the one kid that was around, but no one knew was there. I was in an essence the shadow of the class. My teacher knew I was like this and was worried but I actually was quite fond of being able to move around unnoticed so she set me up as her "agent." She tasked me to stay close to the kids who usually got in trouble and report back to her of their misdoings. It was fun.

Think that's human nature. Saw some show called 'what would you do?' or something like that. They had actors pretending to collapse and pass out in busy areas and everyone ignored them. Seems the attitude is, there are plenty of people around, let one of them get involved. The only person who tried to assist was a special needs person.

Eh, I was having trouble at work one day, and no one seemed to notice at first, but eventually my boss asked if I was ok. I went to the back, and I don't really remember anything between that and when officers and paramedics were surrounding me, trying to get me to regain consciousness.

Everyone cared after that, but before that, they were just trying to do their jobs, and probably didn't want to interrupt me/seem rude. So it doesn't necessarily mean that no one CARED, it could just mean that they were busy, or didn't know what was going on. I wouldn't fret too much about that part.

Yeah, it's hard not to feel lonely when you don't have many friends. My suggestion would be to try taking up hobbies, or finding friends outside of school. Even online friends can help a lot.

I sort of kind of have friends, but they usually ignore me because I guess I kind of made them mad. You really shouldn't make yourself noticed because it could be risky

Have you tried making friends? I have this one guy in my school, he was the shyest person and now he has a ton of friends. By the way, are you okay(about the mini stroke)???
