K, so sometimes I just feel invisible. I feel like people don't notice me and it makes me feel bad. I don't have a boyfriend and haven't had one in like 2 years and people always forget what my name is. Sure, I'm not the loudest person ever but it's not like I sit in a corner and don't talk to anyone. I don't get it, I mean people always tell me I'm pretty and nice, etc. but it always seems like when I get along really well with a guy and I think things arer gonna work out, he goes out with one of my friends, even if we talk more and get along better. I'm just wondering: what can I do to make guys and other people notice me ? I always feel so left out when my friends are all talking about their boyfriends and guys that like them, and I'm just like, "Um, yeah." I'm sick of it. So, yeah, any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Think of a friend who is outgoing and is well liked, and (copy) her a bit.. not her clothes or her hair, but just how she acts if you know what I mean.. kind of hard to explain.. but what I mean is that if you are shy but want a way to be noticed you sometimes have to act as someone for a while, only until your happy with the level of attention.. by then you should be comfortable to keep talking and being outgoing, and also being you.
But make sure, when you begin getting closer to people, that you dont become to clingy, i once felt sorry for a shy girl in my class so i began talking to her, trying to boost her self-esteem.. she then would always be following me, texting/calling and eventually began to really get on my nerves.. make sure you know where you stand before assuming you are close with someone.
