Has that ever happened to you, saying something important and they didn't hear you or ignored you?

Well, I never did the whole confess my love thing, because I know I'm too young for that. But yelling at someone that they're about to get their fingers chopped off from a butcher knife and they don't listen, then yes.

I have never had the "I love you" thing happen, but I tend to get ignored/overridden by people when there is a conversation going on. It makes me rather sad. :/

I don't think it's ever actually happened with "I love you" but this happens to me all the time. Like TheSmartOne, my words are easily overridden when I'm in a conversation, mostly if it's between myself and more than one other person. When I try to call attention to something, it often gets ignored or people get distracted again easily :/

People ignore me almost all the time. So yeah. It drives me insane, especially when someone else goes and says what I just said, and everyone hears that other person instead. :/

Usually I'm the one that gets told "I love you" and it's always by exes. So I try to ignore it, but it's hard to just ignore since that's rude. I am pretty particular about who I tell that too, and I don't like telling it to people that I don't feel that feeling with 100%. So that's only like...family and my best friends that I say that to in a serious manner.

...How did that come out? lol I guess I took the thread title into account.

This happens far too often with me. I speak in a really quiet tone of voice when I am in a crowd of people, so I tend not to get heard. I find it hard to speak loudly and be heard infront of people I don't know well. Though when I know they'll stop talking, I try and get a few words in there. Though I usually get overridden by louder people. :(

Haha.. it's usually me who does the ignoring, and the other person who's spouting the 'I love you' stuff. D; Happened more times then I care to think about, even though at the time I really do feel bad for the person that I don't feel the same way. :/ When they go on about it enough, I tend to just let it go in one ear and out the other - probably rude of me to ignore it like that, I know. ffff

In general.. when it's me who gets ignored, it's usually in a place that's loud, or if I'm far away from the person I'm talking to - my voice is real quiet, as well as being deep. ><; So people have to be pretty close to hear what I'm saying.

The only times I DON'T have issues being heard are when I'm speaking with close friends. I even have trouble speaking to my own mother sometimes, unless I'm angry about something... which is kind of sad. I do manage to get people's attention after a few tries if it's something important.

But that doesn't bother me as much as being flat-out ignored. I've been purposely ignored by a friend over something I didn't even know I had done wrong. It hurt, to say the least.

I like to sit back and listen to conversations more. I'm a pretty confident person however, I don't talk unless I need to get a point across or note something important. In most occasions, I simply take my opportunity to talk in the times when people have stopped speaking or quietened down. I don't particularly like talking over people so I tend not to unless it's for the utmost importance.

I have. To my ex-gf. She ignored me and just said blandly she loved me back. But, I was to stupid to see that she didn't mean it by the tone of her voice.
That. Just that. And in our first time going out too. I really felt such feelings for her and then just to receive it that similar way as Charizard.

What I can't believe is that she actually has the guts to talk to me again this year. She's not getting the message that I can't feel a mere sense of friendship for her anymore because of how hard she hurt me TWICE. Two damn times. One thing's for sure, I'm staying in my school hard as diamond concrete, but unfortunately my school shares the library with her school right next to us. She may as well move to the other school were her 2ndprobably1stnow best guy friend is. That guy is a vegan too! VEGAN! I want him to suffer.

And yeah, those are the consequences of my admitting love? Screw adolescence, I may as well use this time to actually study. I'll worry about girls after I get a Doc's in computer sciences.

I've never had this issue with the topic of love; however it seems that in large groups of discussions, I'm easily drowned out by others. Which is especially frustrating when I'm trying to make arrangements with people to meet up later or something.

I've never been in love with someone, so I can't say that I've had the love situation before. However, I'm easily drowned out by others, most of them cocky b*****ds, who just need a smack round the face. But where does violence get you. Because of this though, I tend to be quite timid, and hang at the edge of the crowd.

In more "romantic" moments, I'm the other side of the spectrum. Sadly, half the time when I say 'I Love You' back it's either in a deadpan tone, or I'm faking a nicer tone so they don't feel bad. I... don't really know if there has been a time when I truly meant it... even if I said I did.

But in other situations, I'm one of those people that tends to get ignored from time to time, and it frustrates me. I try not to let it get to me though, because when I'm mad, I'm a demon. Most of the time though, I just sit back and let others speak, because unless I know the people well, I'm not a very outspoken person.
