How do I get people to see me?

Question

In the movie Seven Pounds, There is a scene where Ezra the blind man is sitting in a diner talking to the waitress about giving her son piano lessons and she walks off. Ben approaches him and asks "are you gonna ask her out?". Ezra reply's in a whisper "Oh no no, I don't think she see's me..."

I feel exactly like Ezra in the scene. Everyone is only seeing his blindness and not who he really is inside. I feel as if everyone is only seeing my outer shell(whatever that is) and not who I really am and that I have feelings too. nobody is taking an interest in who i am at all these days anymore. Am I not cool? Am I fat? Ugly? That stuff shouldn't matter, right? How can I give them the opportunity to see?

I'm almost in 10th grade by the way, if that helps any...

we live in a materialistic society where beauty does get u far as does money and its hard for those who have disabilities or not stereotypically beautiful to get the opportunities and attention.... you really just need to b absolutely outstanding in whatever your good at and u will b noticed.. unless of coarse u want to join the cue of the fake plastic people who are that obssesed with the exterior they forget beauty is on the inside and u cant buy it

Answer 2

all the stuff u just listed that doesnt matter.
DOES matter.
im sorrry but ur going to have to change your physical appearance for someone to want to get to know the inside.

Answer 3

I feel the same way, it seems like no one knows who i really am deep inside....Am 32 but still single...... My friends think am a great gal with a great heart and can make a great life partner...but the men don't take time to see that.....Don't worry u r not alone...I have learnt to be patient and know that my right man will come
