I still feel like I'm invisible when I'm with my family.

They try to include me,I try to interact with them the best I can but it's like I'm not there.

I have always been invisible to them. It took me years to learn they are narcissist and only think about themselves.

@SW-User I don't think it's deliberate on their part.I'm speech impaired and sometimes my speech is sometimes difficult to understand so I think it's sometimes a little off putting for them and they aren't sure how to react round me.

@Fallenfromgrace They are your family, they have the obligation to get to know you for who you are.

I know but that little voice of self doubt creeps in every now and then

@Fallenfromgrace One day you will wake up and see they are just selfish aholes like my family. My family was so toxic and abusive I cut them off many years ago. I refuse to take their abuse anymore.

Fortunately it doesn't get to that level but yeah,I often wonder if it may come to that.

@Fallenfromgrace Mine was that bad. When they tried to mess with me going to college and then was trying to destroy my ability to work that was the last I could take. I cut them off out of my life.
