Lyrics I take these pills to make me thin I dye my hair, and cut my skin I tried everything, to make them see me But all they see, is someone that's not me Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to look my best Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Here inside, my quiet heart You cannot hear, my cries for help I tried everything, to make them see me But every one, see's what I can't be Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to look my best Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Sometimes when I'm alone I pretend that I'm a queen It's almost believable Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to look my best Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
When I was 14 I passed a really hard episode of depression, I used to take pills go to the doctor and the psychiatrist. I found this song and was too real for me, it hurted soo bad I just skipped this song every time. Now I’m 21 and I can tell I’m fine. It’s been years of therapy I know you don’t care ahaha but God I’m so proud. If anyone is listening to this song and feels bad. You will get out of that, trust yourself 💛
I've been facing such issues for a long while... But I'm just glad I'm alive. My mental health has been deteriorating for a while. But this place where I'm from, Mental health is completely ignored. I try to live within fiction & associate myself with fictional characters. That's the only thing that's keeping me going. But I'm glad you got out of that phase & are good now. All the best for your life ahead. 👍 Make the best of it. ❤️
I was searching for this song like hell..I heard this song when I was younger..then later I heard this again and didnt recall the title..haha..I loved this song so much
I used to listen to this song everyday when I was at my lowest , it made me burst into endless tears . After many attempts and hospitals I can finally say things get better! It took 4 years to realize that and life sometimes seems to be against you but all those challenges are there to build you, make you a stronger person. I don’t know who will read this but stay strong, I love you, the world needs you and stay safe ❤️
i am glad you found your way through the darkness. the expression, "what does not kill you, makes you stronger", is a fact. your never alone. if you ever need somebody to talk to, i am here. sometimes talking to a complete stranger is easier. you can say anything and feel safe as they dont know you or anybody connected to you. be safe. remember, happiness is inside you. try two books, the profit, by gilbran, and the four agreements.
Bby girl I’ve been listening to this song for 7 yrs. you are Amazing 😉💖😄🤍 I haven’t listened to it in yrs but I’m definitely at my lowest again. We GOT THIS BBYYYYY💎
I don't think anyone will read this but years ago, I made an extremely insensitive and offensive comment about how I believed everyone who expressed sadness on an internet forum is faking it. I'd like to apologise for my behaviour. I've been gifted enough to have a supportive network where I always could talk to someone, had I chose to; In the recent years, I've realised that not everyone has that luxury. My two cents: Just remember that no matter what's going, you aren't alone. And no matter how bad it feels, no matter how much you feel like you're not worthy of love, you are, and it's very likely someone loves you, and someone will love you. Even if it feels like no one notices when you're upset or when you break, it's likely someone does, they just want to respect your privacy. If no one truly does? Remember that you're not a burden, and telling someone is okay. There will be someone willing to listen, maybe they're harder to notice but someone will be there for you.
I really admire you for stepping up and apologising. It take maturity and I appreciate that. I hope God bless you, because this comment you just made have surely made many people feel better about themselves.
I remember listening to this in middle school and everyone started thinking I was depressed even though I wasn't, but just genuinely thought this was a good song. Here I am today, nearly 10 years later, listening to this 'cause I really am depressed. Guess they knew before I did lmao
As time passes, things will change. I believe this period will pass too, and I believe that you can. Now that circumstance has changed for you, you still continue. You're doing the best you can, and persistence is enough. It's admirable. If you need to rest for a bit, please do so; but come back because we'll be waiting for you!
Same. I use to listen to this song when I was 15. People would ask me why I listened to such depressing songs. I told them that they just sounded good to me. Now I'm 24 and I understand what depression is. I now realize that even though at 15 I didn't understand what depression was, my taste in music showed that I was walking through a dark and scary path and the music gave me comfort. I am still walking through that path today.
Same. I haven’t heard this song in over 7 years but now I’m going through a rough spot about to graduate college and it randomly pops back into my head. Hope you are doing well today.
This song is the story of my life :'( I try to find the power to live in music, but it's difficult everydays and sometimes you just wanna give up and say "Fuck it I don't deserve to live". Music is powerful.
Just remember that it gets better. Life is a roller coaster and it has its' ups and downs. And try to keep it in perspective. Think of all the things that you are lucky to have.
im here for u-even though i kinda need help myself ;it'll feel nice to help someone who's going thru what i am (will try) . luv .txt me if u need any help or whatever-don't hesitate. love u lots. Take care of urself. Xx
I was in a really dark place, questioning my life. It came to me when I heard “Invisible”. First listened to it when it released in 2011 and I was 14 at that time. Every lyric hits home to me. I feel like my mental health is invisible to my family’s eyes cuz they don’t believe in it let alone allowing me to go for therapy. Whenever I feel like I lost in life I listened to this song. Thank you Skylar for making such beautiful lyrics ❤️🩹❤️
Used to listen to this and a bunch of her other songs when I was going through a lot of shit. A friend commited suicide, I was hospitalized due to depression and other issues. All of her songs helped me to get through those times. Listening to them again breaks my heart, it brings back all the memories, but on the other hand I want to listen to them again, because I love the songs. Skylar Grey is definitly one of my favorite artists. Thank you for helping people with your music. 💖
You are not invisible to me! You are so much more talented than the people who get the recognition for your work. There are plenty of people who see you in the background. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
People are allowed to comment on videos like this about their life being way less than perfect. These songs are made to appeal to everyone who is struggling and they are meant to bring these people together so they can support each other...believe it or not a strangers words can make a world of a difference. Whether it be good or bad. But on videos like this when people are talking about their lives and their depression and the issues they struggle with daily its really sweet and endearing to see people you don't even know joining together to help each other.
The sad part is that people changed her to what she looks like in this video because they said she'd be more successful. She dyed her hair, became someone who she wasn't, but she broke from it and you can see from any other video/song after Invisible and Dance Without You who she really is.
+Giovannie Storm inevitability of success succumb to corporate/label standards make yourself prettier to sell werent needed shes beautiful as is and her voice will always shine
loneliness is loneliness, no matter who gets it. because of most people, I'm so insecure. most times I don't even like to go out in public. at school, I show a side of me that I didn't know I even had. I only have one friend that knows how I really am, and even then I don't know if that's actually me
This song pretty much describes me: I pretty much AM invisible for my classmates. I know this sounds strange, but it has been eversince I am in school. I've had big troubles finding friends in kindergarten and primary school. Then I've had these and I got seperated from them after primary school. Then I came to my middle school. I got bullied for pretty much no reason and I have been ignored eversince. And now in highschool I REALLY really feel invisible. I dunno, if I walk up to my mates and want to take part at the conversation I pretty much get ignored all the time 'til I walk away. I don't even think they notice me why I am talking. Even if I walk up to a single person and try to start a conversation, it goes well at first, but as soon as someone else comes it seems that I am no longer important and I get ignored for no reason. I don't know why I have such integrational problems, but it has been there all the time. It kind of drives me crazy and sometimes in a very, very depressive state.
Kawaii KitKat So help yourself. I was bad and I was looking for help and nobody did anything for me. Then I did. I helped myself. I don't blame them. Believe me, it's hard to help people, specially those with social and mind issues. I know this now. So don't wait, do something.
Como eu ouvi essa música em 2011, não saia do meu celular, era minha companhia em momentos difíceis. Um hit que todos deveriam ouvir, pq sempre há um momento na nossa vida em que nos sentimos invisíveis, acho essa letra incrível
I love her 😍 Skylar Grey is, has and always will be my inspiration. She's different from the other artists, her unique vocals makes her unique and even more talented and she takes up every challenge hands on and doesn't give up without a fight. I totally understand this song so much, as I can easily relate to this as I was like this when I was 13-14 years old. I always looked like me, but got blocked out and I turned into this messed up kid. But then I listened to her and invisible, and she makes me believe in myself. I'm now 17 (almost 18) and still a mess, but I'm getting and feeling better now, thanks to her and this song.
I listened to this while I was depressed and whenever I just hear the intro guitar that makes me shiver. The amounts of sadness this song was underlining for me.. music really can change ur mood in a heartbeat
one day i was at school after a hard night of fighting with my mom. i looked around at my group of friends and wondered if it even mattered if I disappeared. so I didn't talk to anyone for a week and nobody noticed. nobody talked to me. nobody even asked what was wrong. they all made me feel like I was invisible. being alone is a horrible thing. but not being alone but not wanted is even worse. whoever feels invisible don't give up. someone or something will come into your life and change everything. i promise you ❤
Thank god that you didn't talk to them for a week, it just shows that they are not true friends. I'm sorry to hear that by the way, don't forget that you are special and you deserve better than those sick fucks! I hope you find better friends and I wish you the best of luck in life
To all those people who are depressed, just remember the light at the end of the tunnel does not shut off. The clouds will go away eventually. keep in mind that it will get worse before it gets better
Natsu dragneel yes this person tried to encourage but I think that is cliche encouragement since everyone says that now. depression is caused from many things, it can be from the weather to a lacking in your diet. sometimes words can't help that.
A good post, many get lost in the grey and black of life. There is light. Somewhere. Obviously not from the sociopathic trolls above, mind you. Who obviously clicked on this clip and responded to posts because of their ADHD. Or missed medication.
It's been 3 years since i last commented and still, I still feel the exact pain i felt back then, nothing has changed i tried to do something but it didn't work, but if you're reading this i atleast want to tell you, YOU can do better, it will get better even if it takes a long time,even if it takes a thousand miles, it will get better. This song is really great it really hits me hard.
I just want to say that I’m proud of you for holding on this long. I hope it gets easier for you. I won’t tell you it would, but I’m rooting for you. Take care, hugs. From a fellow depressed human.
+Brittany Mullins So many of us relate to this. This world is like heaven for some people and hell for others. That's why suicides happen. It's a sad world.
Tosh.0 brought me here, and even though this isnt typically my style of music, i have much much much more respect for her than i do for most musicians of today..
Omg, I remember when I was like 15 yo and heard this for the first time. I could relate to this song so much and I still can, which is kind of sad hahah
well this song just describes be fully ....so may times i felt like there is nothing more to live for and i think to my self why am i stile alive. i just move one step at a time moreover i dont want to end it all just like that even though i want to ...
CoOKie If you keep walking forward, you'll get further than the people who walk in circles. Just pray for guidance and your dreams will come true. I am reading "Your Sacred Self" by wayne dyer now, I would recommend it.
That's the exact same way I feel, I've just never really been able to put it into words. I'm not very articulate. Whenever I mention that someone we know always seems sad, my mom says that we need to make ourselves happy and not let ourselves be miserable. If only it were that easy...
I cried so hard. Even tough I don't cut (if you dnt count that one time I did it with a pen..)It relates to me because I always have to feel invisible even if i'm in a group of people, I always feel like the outcast and everyone thinks I'm a joyful person when inside I'm really not and suffering with anger issues and dark thoughts…
+Abby Jensen .....I am so deeply sorry for whatever you are going through Abby. I pray that the Lord gives you peace, and comfort you in all areas of your life, in the name of Jesus. Abby, I know someone who can help take the pain and dark thoughts away, His name is Jesus. If you haven't received Him as your Lord and savior, just invite Him to come into your heart, and trust me He will come and give you Peace, Love, Joy like no one has ever shown to you before. I know it might sound so easy, unbelievable, or even foolish, that just calling the name Jesus, can begin your healing, but trust me, I truly know how you feel, I have been where your are, and it's only Jesus that has given me the strength, love, and comfort, that no one can even imagine of given to me. You are in my thoughts and prayers Abby, may God's Loves, and Peace falls upon you in abundance, in Jesus Holy name I pray....Blessings of the Lord upon you always....Bella!
I scratch at my arm for relief. No matter what I eat its always "that's all your eating?" or "you're going to eat all that?" it makes me feel like shit (like rn) I binge the don't ear for a few days. I feel invisible when I'm in my group of "friends" the only reason I hang out with them is to distract myself. I also hate hanging out with them because they draw attention to my eating habits. I think I'm developing anxiety of eating in front of others. I thinl I'm bulimic but idk.
+Ciel Phantomhive Woah... I can feel your pain. Sometimes I feel the same about my "friends". Maybe it's not about what I eat but I have similar problem. Anyway, I don't feel like they are my real friends. It's just so freakin' fake. I don't really like them and they don't like me too. I have 3 REAL friends, so I have no idea why I'm still hanging with those... fakey fakes. :') Ps I really like your name! It's pretty cool!
I absolutely love this song... I heard it on the radio for the first time today while driving home.... I came home and immediately starting trying to find out who the artist is. I can't believe this song came out 11 years ago, but it's only just now getting radio play. I feel this one so deep... 😭💔❤
awwww! I found this song...well I first was listening to the songs in this playlist called "demo songs" and then I came across skylar greys song: love the way you lie, I loved her voice! so I checked out each of her songs to put in my playlist (basically just see if she has any songs that I like) and the only song I liked was this song! so yeah, and all this happened yesterday at 1:29am ...I know i should be in bed but I sometimes dance to music before doing that xd ACTUALLY NOT "sometimes" its ALWAYS! I love finding new music too, I used to have 223 songs in my playlist, now it's at 116.
People comment about being bullied: I know how you feel. Everyday at school, I was singled out, thrown at lockers, my belongings stolen or thrown into the trash. Bit what I did, which have not done, is did up for myself. Next time they shoved me into that locker, I fought back. Socked them in the chin, and they haven't done anything since. Stand up for yourself. I was a nervous wreck, afraid of going to school. Now, I am confident as can be, holding my head high. Don't do it for me or anyone where, do it for yourself.
+Shroud Rehab right we haven't come here for a competition of who has the worst life or who's got it worse, fucking hell why do people like you who try and brag about being mentally ill still exist? there's no fucking 'lol' to that.
Lexus Odaniel It was my 16 birthday and me and my best friend were pretty drunk so he said that his girlfriend was coming over with her friend and that I should go for her friend... the girls came over and I met this girl for the first time.....long story short I met her 15 min later for the first time meeting this girl followed by a couple shots of whisky i banged the shit outta her......I set a record! 15 min! it was a good 16th birthday lol
I was crying cuz...This song remind me so memories of my teenage and OMG.... Ten years has been very fast . Skylar grey is very beautiful and she deserves more...This is his first single
I take these pills to make me thin I dye my hair, and cut my skin I tried everything, to make them see me But all they see, is someone that's not me Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to lock my past Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Here inside, my quiet heart You cannot hear, my cries for help I tried everything, to make them see me But every one, sees what I can't be Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to lock my past Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Sometimes when I'm alone I pretend that I'm a queen It's almost believable Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to lock my past Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
xXSilver&VeniceFan1987 _ You need to tell people, especially family and those you're close to, how you feel. I went through three years of severe depression and crazy thoughts and I didn't speak up about it because I thought I would sound crazy and I was miserable. As soon I as finally said something and got help I turned my life around. People say therapist are evil about I found a great one and just being able to say everything on my mind helped a lot.
I know I'm not the only one in this shit: Different at school, different with parents, different with friends and different alone... WHO THE HELL AM I? :'( Anybody?
I feel hard nostalgia going on here. After hearing her recent single Cannonball I had to come hack to her old songs from not having to hear them in over 2 years, I truly feel my inner depressed soul come back haha. Skylar is a serious powerful artist to me though. I first heard her as Holly Brook 8 years ago and slowly transitioning to Skylar. I think she was one of the first artist I actually replayed for months and still come back years later. This woman is truly powerful ❤️
I used to feel like this all the time. Sometimes I still do when i can't help it. It's so hard to keep the happy face on. Everyone I work with thinks that I'm always happy and nice. That nothings wrong. It's worse now that I don't get out except to work and grocery shop. Anyways, It's not as bad as it used to be. I have a friend that I hang out with at work, that actually understands that sometimes me being happy is sometimes a pose. She'll come over to my area randomly, look at me and either crack a joke or just hug me. I'm so glad I have her. i guess i'm one of the lucky ones that has someone to understand me. I hope everyone else finds their someone too.
You don't really need someone to understand you. You shouldn't even care about others or what they think about you. Just learn about biology and evolution, introspect and you'll realize that you don't need the things you were taught you need.
This will always be Relevant and Relatable, Hope it Gets to the Right Peopl, the Peopl in Depression Needs it, It's Pure Light... Keep Sharing it.. Save a Life..
I went on a call the other day..a group call...and it was with all my old friends... I missed them so much, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't speak the whole time. Some private messaged me saying to talk..but I couldn't I was so worried about what to say, I started to ignore the call and just play video games...but it hurt so much, I used the games to try to have fun well stressed but I couldn't get the thought out of my mind that I was disappointing my friends..I missed them, But I have changed since I last saw them, I was terrified..they know me as so social and outgoing, but I couldn't handle all the people, and the fact that Im so strange and that I'll probably say something stupid. I ended up staying on the call till the very end, staying on it during the two last people chatting to themselves and ignoring me..I listened like a creep...I listened till the end, where one left and the other left without saying goodbye. I was still there.....I was far too afraid to say bye... far too afraid to leave. I just wanted to talk, I wanted to have fun, I wanted it to go well, I wanted to befriend those that I didn't know too well, and strengthen the bond I had with my old friends..but I couldn't..I knew I would end up saying something ridiculous that gets everyone to think bad of me.. My friends that were comforting me (they were not on the call I just asked for help) they all told me to leave if I feel uncomfortable..but I couldn't, I didn't want to leave..I didn't want to abandon my friends..I couldn't. By overthinking what everyone thought, by refusing to talk about the past cause it makes me sad, By refusing to listen to the others, By not connecting with anyone, and By staying quiet..I had ruined my chance. Apart of me wishes I just said whatever popped into mind, but I know that If I did, I would of felt dumb and would of weirded out the others, the other part of me wishes I just didn't join the call in the first place. The next day I had to join an online class for school with my two new friends on it. Once again, I didn't talk, I was too scared to talk, I didn't want to make them think I was an idiot...I may come off as so optimistic and silly to them and that I say whatever I want...but they don't understand that I really panic and stress and that I just can't function in groups. Optimism is my coping mechanism and Im so sick of people in general always thinking that those happy golucky people are stupid and aren't emotional and don't care. Cause we do care.. We care so much that we try not to care. We care so much that we don't *want* to care anymore. We just want to be happy because we are sick of getting hurt. Even though I try my best not to care what others think, and people tell me "Care what you think only" Whenever I only care about myself, I end up hurting others, I end up being too angry, I end up being way too selfish, and I end up doings something horrible. Not to mention, I do care what I think..one of my thoughts are that I'm stupid. I think a lot about that and that thought comes from me. With my failing grades, and my inability to conversate cause I don't know the structure and can no longer connect with others. I just don't try anymore, and just play video games cause at least on those FPS games, I can actually win
hey, idk u but i just hope u know, i used to feel like that, even when chatting with friends in person. i can only say two things: whatever dumb or weird thing u say, it's never going to be as bad as staying silent (for you and for them), and it's a matter of practise, trust me. Also, i just hope u know that a lot of people feel the same way you do. it´s completely valid, and i've gotten way better, and so will you, with time and practise and help from your firends. let them know how you fell, if they're real friends they'll support u.
I never thought I would relate so much to a stranger. I’ve always wanted to talk to my friends, but never knew what to say. It made me feel so alone because i felt I couldn’t talk to anyone when I really needed to. Now in quarantine my most talked to contact in messages is my mom, which is sad. I’m too scared to start texting someone because I’m scared that they’ll think I’m annoying or they’ll just randomly drop the conversation. I want to be better, and I don’t want to keep passing up opportunities that I could’ve had if I wasn’t scared to meet new people.
I can completely relate to you. I used to be afraid of talking to people, and when I tried to talk to them, I just felt like I'm annoying everyone and like they want me to leave. And with the communication per messages was it even worse. I simply didn't write to anyone, even when I really needed something, because I was terrified that I write something wrong. And I hated the phone calls as well, that kind of lasted till now. I was always afraid that I say something wrong, or that I'll be bothering someone, or that everybody will think that I'm stupid. But it got better. Within a few years I found a really good friend - and that was really important. I could talk to her about it. And that helped me. It took some more time, but the feeling like I'm annoying everyone by everything I say (or not say) started to disappear. And it got almost to normal. Still, sometimes it all comes back, but weaker. And I can stand it. Now, when many of us are stuck home, things are difficult. For everyone. Don't be afraid, you're not alone. Many people feel this or simillar way. If anybody reading this comment (if anyone will ever read it:-)) needs to talk about something, feel free to write to me. Maybe it's strange to talk to a stranger in UA-cam comments, but what is really important is to have someone to talk to. Trust me, you'll get out of it. And if you need anything, I'm here.
So used to being neglected that you're physically incapable to approach anyone for fear of being criticised or hurt. Mentally instable. Difficult to find someone I can connect with because i'm foreign. I don't have a great family background. I don't have a rich family. I don't have to carry bricks 14 hours a day like other children who are half my age. That doesn't matter though. Loneliness is loneliness. If you feel you can't relate to others and find yourself having completely different interests due to nationality and prejudice then it doesn't matter who you're compared to, you'll still feel like shit. Am I the only one who feels this way? Bullied for most of their life so too shy to communicate with strangers because you feel they want to hurt you? Please reply. Tell me your story. Let me know how you feel because I certainly am no where near happy with the direction my life is heading..
Life is hard man but know that you are not alone and there are a ton of people out there like you and some day finally life will show you its bright side :'(
Right now, all of my friends on Facebook are ignoring me and I don't know why. Everytime, I tell them hi, they never reply back. Later, on this site called Wattpad, I made a friend and I talk to her everyday. She's in a different country but I didn't care, I'm happy that I had someone to talk to. If anyone out there is lonely just remember to enjoy your own company, I did.
My mind is weird, and when I'm lonely, my own mind doesn't help. It makes things worse. Whenever I do something wrong, I feel like I must punish myself very harshly (i.e. Cutting(i stopped because I promised my friends I would, so I'm 3 days clean)). I also tend to try and point the blame on me, even if I'm not involved because other people getting hurt is something I don't want. What else is worse is that I can't really talk to people about stuff because I'm too afraid of saying something wrong, also I mumble a lot. I do know that my childhood was fairly traumatic, with being outcasted in 3rd grade, trampled by them, and punched in the face and gut. However I don't resent them, but wish i could tell them that I forgave them. If you can't emphasize, I'll understand because most people don't gain empathy for things they haven't experienced or gone through.
jjsol374 you are a fighter and we need people like you to help others out. Please don't punish yourself, it's not your fault, don't cut yourself either. You're special and god doesn't want one of his creations scratched. You are one of a kind and beautiful, don't forget that.
Everyone's been commenting that this song describes their life. It describes mine too, completely. But the sad part, is that there's too many people that feel this way. And there's too many people that don't care. If I was granted one wish, it would be for all of us to not feel this way all the time. :/
Lyrics
I take these pills to make me thin
I dye my hair, and cut my skin
I tried everything, to make them see me
But all they see, is someone that's not me
Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Here inside, my quiet heart
You cannot hear, my cries for help
I tried everything, to make them see me
But every one, see's what I can't be
Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Sometimes when I'm alone
I pretend that I'm a queen
It's almost believable
Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
'Everyday I try to look my best, Even though inside I'm such a mess' I just love that part,
HappySmile4ever hell yes I know
HappySmile4ever same
yeah
4ever Msp it's so accurate for people with depression
hmm.. relate
Why does this singer have to be so underrated
When they become famous, all the good songs go down the drain
+Eaglenz Because she isn't a bitch like, to say,Taylor Swift! And Swift is so evil!
Because this woman is really talented.
It´s that simple.
because the world doesn't really care about talent always..
Lightning Aninda They only think they do
A decade later and still a banger
When I was 14 I passed a really hard episode of depression, I used to take pills go to the doctor and the psychiatrist.
I found this song and was too real for me, it hurted soo bad I just skipped this song every time.
Now I’m 21 and I can tell I’m fine.
It’s been years of therapy
I know you don’t care ahaha but God I’m so proud.
If anyone is listening to this song and feels bad.
You will get out of that, trust yourself 💛
I needed that
I’m proud of you !
You don’t know me but I’m so proud of you!! Congrats on your progress! I hope you live a happy and fulfilled life ❤️
I've been facing such issues for a long while... But I'm just glad I'm alive. My mental health has been deteriorating for a while. But this place where I'm from, Mental health is completely ignored. I try to live within fiction & associate myself with fictional characters. That's the only thing that's keeping me going.
But I'm glad you got out of that phase & are good now. All the best for your life ahead. 👍 Make the best of it. ❤️
@@akemi2929 U too best of luck for ahead !
I was searching for this song like hell..I heard this song when I was younger..then later I heard this again and didnt recall the title..haha..I loved this song so much

I just keep pushing the button my fingers hurt XD
I used to listen to this song everyday when I was at my lowest , it made me burst into endless tears . After many attempts and hospitals I can finally say things get better! It took 4 years to realize that and life sometimes seems to be against you but all those challenges are there to build you, make you a stronger person. I don’t know who will read this but stay strong, I love you, the world needs you and stay safe ❤️
i am glad you found your way through the darkness. the expression, "what does not kill you, makes you stronger", is a fact. your never alone. if you ever need somebody to talk to, i am here. sometimes talking to a complete stranger is easier. you can say anything and feel safe as they dont know you or anybody connected to you. be safe. remember, happiness is inside you. try two books, the profit, by gilbran, and the four agreements.
Thank you for making my day ❤️
Wow same here...I'm glad u understand life now.. keep grinding then...
Bby girl I’ve been listening to this song for 7 yrs. you are Amazing 😉💖😄🤍
I haven’t listened to it in yrs but I’m definitely at my lowest again. We GOT THIS BBYYYYY💎
I have never ,ever seen that kind of powerful comment.....it was just"perfect"....❤️
I don't think anyone will read this but years ago, I made an extremely insensitive and offensive comment about how I believed everyone who expressed sadness on an internet forum is faking it. I'd like to apologise for my behaviour. I've been gifted enough to have a supportive network where I always could talk to someone, had I chose to; In the recent years, I've realised that not everyone has that luxury.
My two cents: Just remember that no matter what's going, you aren't alone. And no matter how bad it feels, no matter how much you feel like you're not worthy of love, you are, and it's very likely someone loves you, and someone will love you. Even if it feels like no one notices when you're upset or when you break, it's likely someone does, they just want to respect your privacy. If no one truly does? Remember that you're not a burden, and telling someone is okay. There will be someone willing to listen, maybe they're harder to notice but someone will be there for you.
Thanks :)
thank you
(:
This is such a sweet comment and made me feel a lot better, thanks!
I really admire you for stepping up and apologising. It take maturity and I appreciate that. I hope God bless you, because this comment you just made have surely made many people feel better about themselves.
Siph tu m'as rendu jusqu'ici merci
This just describes exactly how i feel sometimes
+Barbie baker Same but you gotta keep fighting
me too
Me too
me too
yeah...
W/E will always bring me here. Such a great film and Skylar is perfect!
I remember listening to this in middle school and everyone started thinking I was depressed even though I wasn't, but just genuinely thought this was a good song. Here I am today, nearly 10 years later, listening to this 'cause I really am depressed. Guess they knew before I did lmao
As time passes, things will change. I believe this period will pass too, and I believe that you can. Now that circumstance has changed for you, you still continue. You're doing the best you can, and persistence is enough. It's admirable. If you need to rest for a bit, please do so; but come back because we'll be waiting for you!
Aww, I believe you are so strong and I promise you will get through it!!! :) What is more important is that you have to believe in yourself! :)
Same. I use to listen to this song when I was 15. People would ask me why I listened to such depressing songs. I told them that they just sounded good to me. Now I'm 24 and I understand what depression is. I now realize that even though at 15 I didn't understand what depression was, my taste in music showed that I was walking through a dark and scary path and the music gave me comfort. I am still walking through that path today.
Same. I haven’t heard this song in over 7 years but now I’m going through a rough spot about to graduate college and it randomly pops back into my head. Hope you are doing well today.
Same here
This song is the story of my life :'( I try to find the power to live in music, but it's difficult everydays and sometimes you just wanna give up and say "Fuck it I don't deserve to live". Music is powerful.
Just remember that it gets better. Life is a roller coaster and it has its' ups and downs. And try to keep it in perspective. Think of all the things that you are lucky to have.
Rachel F-G Thank you :) your comment is lovely
im here for u-even though i kinda need help myself ;it'll feel nice to help someone who's going thru what i am (will try) . luv .txt me if u need any help or whatever-don't hesitate. love u lots. Take care of urself. Xx
rock4ever hooooo thanks
you're wonderful
I was in a really dark place, questioning my life. It came to me when I heard “Invisible”. First listened to it when it released in 2011 and I was 14 at that time.
Every lyric hits home to me. I feel like my mental health is invisible to my family’s eyes cuz they don’t believe in it let alone allowing me to go for therapy.
Whenever I feel like I lost in life I listened to this song. Thank you Skylar for making such beautiful lyrics ❤️🩹❤️
Used to listen to this and a bunch of her other songs when I was going through a lot of shit. A friend commited suicide, I was hospitalized due to depression and other issues. All of her songs helped me to get through those times. Listening to them again breaks my heart, it brings back all the memories, but on the other hand I want to listen to them again, because I love the songs. Skylar Grey is definitly one of my favorite artists. Thank you for helping people with your music. 💖
Song describes my life
I hope u feel better
thank you
be strong girl :)
Keep your head up and keep smiling! Never, ever give up! All the best for you
one day i want you to say this song used describe me it doesn`t now promise
You are not invisible to me! You are so much more talented than the people who get the recognition for your work. There are plenty of people who see you in the background. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
People are allowed to comment on videos like this about their life being way less than perfect. These songs are made to appeal to everyone who is struggling and they are meant to bring these people together so they can support each other...believe it or not a strangers words can make a world of a difference. Whether it be good or bad. But on videos like this when people are talking about their lives and their depression and the issues they struggle with daily its really sweet and endearing to see people you don't even know joining together to help each other.
AGREE
yeah,totally agree -haters just move on with your lives,dont disturb ours. Xx
I couldn't have said that any better
Yeah skylar grey makes a lot of songs about seeing the good things in life
yeah,she just puts everything into perspective... Xx.
Anyone in 2024❣️💯🔥
My Sista just sent me.. Brilliant ❤
I'm here
Me 🔥
Present
here 💔
The sad part is that people changed her to what she looks like in this video because they said she'd be more successful. She dyed her hair, became someone who she wasn't, but she broke from it and you can see from any other video/song after Invisible and Dance Without You who she really is.
Omg I feel so bad for her :(
+Giovannie Storm inevitability of success succumb to corporate/label standards make yourself prettier to sell werent needed shes beautiful as is and her voice will always shine
maybe this is how she feel a video can't really express someone life
She probably did this song for those of us who deal with these kind of issues.
Thanks to Skylar for making such a great song.
too true, she doesn't even look like herself.
loneliness is loneliness, no matter who gets it. because of most people, I'm so insecure. most times I don't even like to go out in public. at school, I show a side of me that I didn't know I even had. I only have one friend that knows how I really am, and even then I don't know if that's actually me
Wow... I feel exactly the same thing. I don't even know who I really am. That's kinda sad... But now I'll try my best to find myself.
+Aleksandra Jankowska imagine being a parent and feeling like this.
+Allen Jimmerson I don't even have that one friend.
I feel exactly the same think. I am trying now to find the real me.
Same
This is great. The lyrics amazing and really raw and emotional, I feel a lot of people can relate. Her voice is fantastic too. I love this song.
Skylar's voice is as beautiful as she is and I love this song so much
This song pretty much describes me:
I pretty much AM invisible for my classmates. I know this sounds strange, but it has been eversince I am in school. I've had big troubles finding friends in kindergarten and primary school. Then I've had these and I got seperated from them after primary school. Then I came to my middle school. I got bullied for pretty much no reason and I have been ignored eversince. And now in highschool I REALLY really feel invisible. I dunno, if I walk up to my mates and want to take part at the conversation I pretty much get ignored all the time 'til I walk away. I don't even think they notice me why I am talking. Even if I walk up to a single person and try to start a conversation, it goes well at first, but as soon as someone else comes it seems that I am no longer important and I get ignored for no reason. I don't know why I have such integrational problems, but it has been there all the time. It kind of drives me crazy and sometimes in a very, very depressive state.
Hi there :) I honestly do feel you and understand your situation. Be strong and I hope that things will turn out well for you.
thxs
Maybe that is not your problem, sometimes we can't find the right friends! Keep looking you WILL find those special people!
I will never meet you which makes me sad, but im here for you. You know fuck those bullies. You are perfect.
Mono98 you need a friend here I am...!
Merci Siphano :)
This song suits me, I always ask people for help & they always ignore me, I always feel like I'm invisible.
***** Thank you :) You're so kind
Kawaii KitKat So help yourself. I was bad and I was looking for help and nobody did anything for me. Then I did. I helped myself. I don't blame them. Believe me, it's hard to help people, specially those with social and mind issues. I know this now. So don't wait, do something.
Same here, my mom never listens to me, I see things, and my mom says she just ignores me...
Roblox Super Girl :( So sorry to hear that..
Worthless Trash hit me up is love to hear anything you have to say
Como eu ouvi essa música em 2011, não saia do meu celular, era minha companhia em momentos difíceis. Um hit que todos deveriam ouvir, pq sempre há um momento na nossa vida em que nos sentimos invisíveis, acho essa letra incrível
Skylar has such a beautiful voice, it's amazing she isn't more famous
+Just gimme my $200 she tried that too with that riding bicycle song !
Tabish Khalid Not really, that song was ironic to make fun of those kinds of people
Quillan
I love her 😍
Skylar Grey is, has and always will be my inspiration. She's different from the other artists, her unique vocals makes her unique and even more talented and she takes up every challenge hands on and doesn't give up without a fight. I totally understand this song so much, as I can easily relate to this as I was like this when I was 13-14 years old. I always looked like me, but got blocked out and I turned into this messed up kid. But then I listened to her and invisible, and she makes me believe in myself. I'm now 17 (almost 18) and still a mess, but I'm getting and feeling better now, thanks to her and this song.
old but GOLD!
A year since I found it.... Still on my most played playlist. Just one of those songs, that never leaves it.
this is my life every single day
same you 🙌
me too

david sad af same :C
Thanks for your music .you and your music inspire people just like me who feel llonely,invisible,Hopeless.
I adore this song.
Me too.
I have been looking for this song 💙💕
This brings me back to 6th grade, damn
Same👍
Same, I haven’t listened to this song since, really brings me back
I think she is an amazing artist She writes and delivers her songs from her heart. Brilliant
I listened to this while I was depressed and whenever I just hear the intro guitar that makes me shiver. The amounts of sadness this song was underlining for me.. music really can change ur mood in a heartbeat
I'm searching this song for 6 years finally
one day i was at school after a hard night of fighting with my mom. i looked around at my group of friends and wondered if it even mattered if I disappeared. so I didn't talk to anyone for a week and nobody noticed. nobody talked to me. nobody even asked what was wrong. they all made me feel like I was invisible. being alone is a horrible thing. but not being alone but not wanted is even worse. whoever feels invisible don't give up. someone or something will come into your life and change everything. i promise you ❤
Thank god that you didn't talk to them for a week, it just shows that they are not true friends. I'm sorry to hear that by the way, don't forget that you are special and you deserve better than those sick fucks! I hope you find better friends and I wish you the best of luck in life
awe thanks so much😚💖
Aimee Jorgensen If you have any problems and you have no one to tell them to, I'm always here. They don't call me guardian angel for nothing.
+Katherine Hernandez i think you are a very nice person! i hope i will find a friend like you 😚
Thank you! People like me are REALLY rare in this generation, I could be your friend if you want. Just say the word and I'll always be there ;)
To all those people who are depressed, just remember the light at the end of the tunnel does not shut off. The clouds will go away eventually. keep in mind that it will get worse before it gets better
Wtf I thought this would be encouraging or something then I read the end and I was like wtf -_-
Natsu dragneel yes this person tried to encourage but I think that is cliche encouragement since everyone says that now.
depression is caused from many things, it can be from the weather to a lacking in your diet. sometimes words can't help that.
***** oh okay
I hope you're right
A good post, many get lost in the grey and black of life. There is light. Somewhere. Obviously not from the sociopathic trolls above, mind you. Who obviously clicked on this clip and responded to posts because of their ADHD. Or missed medication.
When I depressed, may be or not, I listen this song
So underrated ❤️ vocal, talent
So pure and flawless
2021 I'm still here. Old musics are never die
Speaks loud and is how I feel every day.....luv her music!!!
It's been 3 years since i last commented and still, I still feel the exact pain i felt back then, nothing has changed i tried to do something but it didn't work, but if you're reading this i atleast want to tell you, YOU can do better, it will get better even if it takes a long time,even if it takes a thousand miles, it will get better.
This song is really great it really hits me hard.
I just want to say that I’m proud of you for holding on this long. I hope it gets easier for you. I won’t tell you it would, but I’m rooting for you. Take care, hugs. From a fellow depressed human.
WELLL, HAVE YOU DONE FFFCKING BETTER?
♥️
its been 4 years since this comment, how ya holding up?
Update?
I relate to this so much
So am i ,i just feel myself into a love story that i never had!
+Brittany Mullins me too
+Brittany Mullins So many of us relate to this. This world is like heaven for some people and hell for others.
That's why suicides happen. It's a sad world.
I'm addicted to this song. This song should get more attention.
Such a good song depicting the pain and struggles people face many of wich are bullied.. So sad to think so many are dealing with these tortures..
Tosh.0 brought me here, and even though this isnt typically my style of music, i have much much much more respect for her than i do for most musicians of today..
A beautiful song nothing more to say.
I love her so muchhh
wow, the contrast between this and calling from the heavens... such growth in art and happiness. #1 underrated artist
Omg, I remember when I was like 15 yo and heard this for the first time. I could relate to this song so much and I still can, which is kind of sad hahah
This so g describes how I feel everyday
:/ me 2
Indeed
Unreal how this song hits me! A lot of emotions going trough me
seek Jesus
@@JesusSavesTheLostBrokenConfuse oh shut up
well this song just describes be fully ....so may times i felt like there is nothing more to live for and i think to my self why am i stile alive. i just move one step at a time moreover i dont want to end it all just like that even though i want to ...
but you're pikachu :O
kabin yang ya i am that never evolves lol
CoOKie If you keep walking forward, you'll get further than the people who walk in circles. Just pray for guidance and your dreams will come true. I am reading "Your Sacred Self" by wayne dyer now, I would recommend it.
I feel the same way I'm always saying why am I alive there is something else in life but don't know what it is
That's the exact same way I feel, I've just never really been able to put it into words. I'm not very articulate. Whenever I mention that someone we know always seems sad, my mom says that we need to make ourselves happy and not let ourselves be miserable. If only it were that easy...
Still my favourite by her
Same
I cried so hard. Even tough I don't cut (if you dnt count that one time I did it with a pen..)It relates to me because I always have to feel invisible even if i'm in a group of people, I always feel like the outcast and everyone thinks I'm a joyful person when inside I'm really not and suffering with anger issues and dark thoughts…
i can relate :(
feel the same
+Abby Jensen .....I am so deeply sorry for whatever you are going through Abby. I pray that the Lord gives you peace, and comfort you in all areas of your life, in the name of Jesus. Abby, I know someone who can help take the pain and dark thoughts away, His name is Jesus. If you haven't received Him as your Lord and savior, just invite Him to come into your heart, and trust me He will come and give you Peace, Love, Joy like no one has ever shown to you before. I know it might sound so easy, unbelievable, or even foolish, that just calling the name Jesus, can begin your healing, but trust me, I truly know how you feel, I have been where your are, and it's only Jesus that has given me the strength, love, and comfort, that no one can even imagine of given to me. You are in my thoughts and prayers Abby, may God's Loves, and Peace falls upon you in abundance, in Jesus Holy name I pray....Blessings of the Lord upon you always....Bella!
I scratch at my arm for relief. No matter what I eat its always "that's all your eating?" or "you're going to eat all that?" it makes me feel like shit (like rn) I binge the don't ear for a few days. I feel invisible when I'm in my group of "friends" the only reason I hang out with them is to distract myself. I also hate hanging out with them because they draw attention to my eating habits. I think I'm developing anxiety of eating in front of others. I thinl I'm bulimic but idk.
+Ciel Phantomhive Woah... I can feel your pain. Sometimes I feel the same about my "friends". Maybe it's not about what I eat but I have similar problem. Anyway, I don't feel like they are my real friends. It's just so freakin' fake. I don't really like them and they don't like me too. I have 3 REAL friends, so I have no idea why I'm still hanging with those... fakey fakes. :') Ps I really like your name! It's pretty cool!
I love this
I love you
Everyday I try to look my best, even though inside I'm such a mess......
Isn't it "try to lock my past"? :)
+Aleksandra Jankowska No it try to look my best. I think lol
+Cierra Johnson Hahaha :'D Nevermind! Both versions are good! xD
+Aleksandra Jankowska 😂😂😂
same
For some reason,, I always come back to this song when I feel,, not oké...
Me too ❤
I'm here after 10 YEARS.! Thanks for this song Skylar
I absolutely love this song... I heard it on the radio for the first time today while driving home.... I came home and immediately starting trying to find out who the artist is.
I can't believe this song came out 11 years ago, but it's only just now getting radio play. I feel this one so deep... 😭💔❤
awwww!
I found this song...well
I first was listening to the songs in this playlist called "demo songs"
and then I came across skylar greys song: love the way you lie, I loved her voice! so I checked out each of her songs to put in my playlist (basically just see if she has any songs that I like) and the only song I liked was this song! so yeah, and all this happened yesterday at 1:29am ...I know i should be in bed but I sometimes dance to music before doing that xd ACTUALLY NOT "sometimes" its ALWAYS!
I love finding new music too, I used to have 223 songs in my playlist, now it's at 116.
I discovered this song today. Very nice
This song always hits me right in the feels
OOh Skylar you do not know how much i love , you the one of my hero and my talent artist , cheersssssssssssssssssss
What a beautiful video.
No sex or vulgarity.
I want a Lana Del Rey and Skylar Grey collaboration!!!
Oh god.. lana del rey + skylar grey I WANT
luv it
LUV THIS ONE TO:)
Luv it
This is too damn relatable...
Beautiful... it should be a soundtrack!
Such a beautiful song... Listening this beautiful masterpiece since my childhood... It tells the real side of the world to me...😌
People comment about being bullied: I know how you feel. Everyday at school, I was singled out, thrown at lockers, my belongings stolen or thrown into the trash. Bit what I did, which have not done, is did up for myself. Next time they shoved me into that locker, I fought back. Socked them in the chin, and they haven't done anything since.
Stand up for yourself. I was a nervous wreck, afraid of going to school. Now, I am confident as can be, holding my head high. Don't do it for me or anyone where, do it for yourself.
+HyerJohn Thank you. :)
Physical pain is a lot easier 2 deal with then mental pain m8 lol
+Shroud Rehab right we haven't come here for a competition of who has the worst life or who's got it worse, fucking hell why do people like you who try and brag about being mentally ill still exist? there's no fucking 'lol' to that.
thank you: )
Lexus Odaniel It was my 16 birthday and me and my best friend were pretty drunk so he said that his girlfriend was coming over with her friend and that I should go for her friend... the girls came over and I met this girl for the first time.....long story short I met her 15 min later for the first time meeting this girl followed by a couple shots of whisky i banged the shit outta her......I set a record! 15 min! it was a good 16th birthday lol
Great song from a great artist :)
I love both song and video, thank you
Great song!
I was crying cuz...This song remind me so memories of my teenage and OMG.... Ten years has been very fast . Skylar grey is very beautiful and she deserves more...This is his first single
I take these pills to make me thin
I dye my hair, and cut my skin
I tried everything, to make them see me
But all they see, is someone that's not me
Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to lock my past
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Here inside, my quiet heart
You cannot hear, my cries for help
I tried everything, to make them see me
But every one, sees what I can't be
Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to lock my past
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Sometimes when I'm alone
I pretend that I'm a queen
It's almost believable
Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to lock my past
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Nice song is amazing😍😍👌
Is anyone so sad that they are used to it?
or pretends to be...
Raises hand.
xXSakuraFan1987 _ Yupp just keep smiling and they will almost always just think you're okay :)
james hunt They know, they just don't want to deal with it.
xXSilver&VeniceFan1987 _ I WILL HELP YOU!
xXSilver&VeniceFan1987 _ You need to tell people, especially family and those you're close to, how you feel. I went through three years of severe depression and crazy thoughts and I didn't speak up about it because I thought I would sound crazy and I was miserable. As soon I as finally said something and got help I turned my life around. People say therapist are evil about I found a great one and just being able to say everything on my mind helped a lot.
Was here 9 years ago.... still here today
Used to play this in my school days
me again...
That voice...those looks...wow. just wow.
I love you Skylar Grey ❤️.
I know I'm not the only one in this shit: Different at school, different with parents, different with friends and different alone... WHO THE HELL AM I? :'( Anybody?

Same :/
So beautiful
cant stop listening....thank u ''playlist for th dead''
I feel hard nostalgia going on here. After hearing her recent single Cannonball I had to come hack to her old songs from not having to hear them in over 2 years, I truly feel my inner depressed soul come back haha. Skylar is a serious powerful artist to me though. I first heard her as Holly Brook 8 years ago and slowly transitioning to Skylar. I think she was one of the first artist I actually replayed for months and still come back years later. This woman is truly powerful ❤️
I used to feel like this all the time. Sometimes I still do when i can't help it. It's so hard to keep the happy face on. Everyone I work with thinks that I'm always happy and nice. That nothings wrong. It's worse now that I don't get out except to work and grocery shop. Anyways, It's not as bad as it used to be. I have a friend that I hang out with at work, that actually understands that sometimes me being happy is sometimes a pose. She'll come over to my area randomly, look at me and either crack a joke or just hug me. I'm so glad I have her. i guess i'm one of the lucky ones that has someone to understand me. I hope everyone else finds their someone too.
You don't really need someone to understand you. You shouldn't even care about others or what they think about you. Just learn about biology and evolution, introspect and you'll realize that you don't need the things you were taught you need.
We should be friends.
arockstarrr Why?
me too.. sometimes i being happy is a pose..like bad actress. only one can understand me. that's my happiness
This will always be Relevant and Relatable,
Hope it Gets to the Right Peopl,
the Peopl in Depression Needs it,
It's Pure Light...
Keep Sharing it..
Save a Life..
no im not crying my eyes are just sweating..... ya know it happens all the time.....
damn those ninja cutting onion
I went on a call the other day..a group call...and it was with all my old friends... I missed them so much, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't speak the whole time. Some private messaged me saying to talk..but I couldn't I was so worried about what to say, I started to ignore the call and just play video games...but it hurt so much, I used the games to try to have fun well stressed but I couldn't get the thought out of my mind that I was disappointing my friends..I missed them, But I have changed since I last saw them, I was terrified..they know me as so social and outgoing, but I couldn't handle all the people, and the fact that Im so strange and that I'll probably say something stupid.
I ended up staying on the call till the very end, staying on it during the two last people chatting to themselves and ignoring me..I listened like a creep...I listened till the end, where one left and the other left without saying goodbye. I was still there.....I was far too afraid to say bye... far too afraid to leave. I just wanted to talk, I wanted to have fun, I wanted it to go well, I wanted to befriend those that I didn't know too well, and strengthen the bond I had with my old friends..but I couldn't..I knew I would end up saying something ridiculous that gets everyone to think bad of me..
My friends that were comforting me (they were not on the call I just asked for help) they all told me to leave if I feel uncomfortable..but I couldn't, I didn't want to leave..I didn't want to abandon my friends..I couldn't. By overthinking what everyone thought, by refusing to talk about the past cause it makes me sad, By refusing to listen to the others, By not connecting with anyone, and By staying quiet..I had ruined my chance. Apart of me wishes I just said whatever popped into mind, but I know that If I did, I would of felt dumb and would of weirded out the others, the other part of me wishes I just didn't join the call in the first place.
The next day I had to join an online class for school with my two new friends on it. Once again, I didn't talk, I was too scared to talk, I didn't want to make them think I was an idiot...I may come off as so optimistic and silly to them and that I say whatever I want...but they don't understand that I really panic and stress and that I just can't function in groups. Optimism is my coping mechanism and Im so sick of people in general always thinking that those happy golucky people are stupid and aren't emotional and don't care. Cause we do care.. We care so much that we try not to care. We care so much that we don't *want* to care anymore. We just want to be happy because we are sick of getting hurt.
Even though I try my best not to care what others think, and people tell me "Care what you think only" Whenever I only care about myself, I end up hurting others, I end up being too angry, I end up being way too selfish, and I end up doings something horrible. Not to mention, I do care what I think..one of my thoughts are that I'm stupid. I think a lot about that and that thought comes from me.
With my failing grades, and my inability to conversate cause I don't know the structure and can no longer connect with others. I just don't try anymore, and just play video games cause at least on those FPS games, I can actually win
hey, idk u but i just hope u know, i used to feel like that, even when chatting with friends in person. i can only say two things: whatever dumb or weird thing u say, it's never going to be as bad as staying silent (for you and for them), and it's a matter of practise, trust me. Also, i just hope u know that a lot of people feel the same way you do. it´s completely valid, and i've gotten way better, and so will you, with time and practise and help from your firends. let them know how you fell, if they're real friends they'll support u.
I never thought I would relate so much to a stranger. I’ve always wanted to talk to my friends, but never knew what to say. It made me feel so alone because i felt I couldn’t talk to anyone when I really needed to. Now in quarantine my most talked to contact in messages is my mom, which is sad. I’m too scared to start texting someone because I’m scared that they’ll think I’m annoying or they’ll just randomly drop the conversation. I want to be better, and I don’t want to keep passing up opportunities that I could’ve had if I wasn’t scared to meet new people.
I can completely relate to you. I used to be afraid of talking to people, and when I tried to talk to them, I just felt like I'm annoying everyone and like they want me to leave. And with the communication per messages was it even worse. I simply didn't write to anyone, even when I really needed something, because I was terrified that I write something wrong. And I hated the phone calls as well, that kind of lasted till now. I was always afraid that I say something wrong, or that I'll be bothering someone, or that everybody will think that I'm stupid.
But it got better. Within a few years I found a really good friend - and that was really important. I could talk to her about it. And that helped me. It took some more time, but the feeling like I'm annoying everyone by everything I say (or not say) started to disappear. And it got almost to normal. Still, sometimes it all comes back, but weaker. And I can stand it.
Now, when many of us are stuck home, things are difficult. For everyone. Don't be afraid, you're not alone. Many people feel this or simillar way.
If anybody reading this comment (if anyone will ever read it:-)) needs to talk about something, feel free to write to me. Maybe it's strange to talk to a stranger in UA-cam comments, but what is really important is to have someone to talk to. Trust me, you'll get out of it. And if you need anything, I'm here.
i want more songs like this ..because this is how i am living everyday of my life
I love this song, nice grading.
So used to being neglected that you're physically incapable to approach anyone for fear of being criticised or hurt. Mentally instable. Difficult to find someone I can connect with because i'm foreign. I don't have a great family background. I don't have a rich family. I don't have to carry bricks 14 hours a day like other children who are half my age. That doesn't matter though. Loneliness is loneliness. If you feel you can't relate to others and find yourself having completely different interests due to nationality and prejudice then it doesn't matter who you're compared to, you'll still feel like shit.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Bullied for most of their life so too shy to communicate with strangers because you feel they want to hurt you? Please reply. Tell me your story. Let me know how you feel because I certainly am no where near happy with the direction my life is heading..
Everything will get better
Life is hard man but know that you are not alone and there are a ton of people out there like you and some day finally life will show you its bright side :'(
Right now, all of my friends on Facebook are ignoring me and I don't know why. Everytime, I tell them hi, they never reply back. Later, on this site called Wattpad, I made a friend and I talk to her everyday. She's in a different country but I didn't care, I'm happy that I had someone to talk to. If anyone out there is lonely just remember to enjoy your own company, I did.
My mind is weird, and when I'm lonely, my own mind doesn't help. It makes things worse. Whenever I do something wrong, I feel like I must punish myself very harshly (i.e. Cutting(i stopped because I promised my friends I would, so I'm 3 days clean)). I also tend to try and point the blame on me, even if I'm not involved because other people getting hurt is something I don't want. What else is worse is that I can't really talk to people about stuff because I'm too afraid of saying something wrong, also I mumble a lot. I do know that my childhood was fairly traumatic, with being outcasted in 3rd grade, trampled by them, and punched in the face and gut. However I don't resent them, but wish i could tell them that I forgave them. If you can't emphasize, I'll understand because most people don't gain empathy for things they haven't experienced or gone through.
jjsol374 you are a fighter and we need people like you to help others out. Please don't punish yourself, it's not your fault, don't cut yourself either. You're special and god doesn't want one of his creations scratched. You are one of a kind and beautiful, don't forget that.
Now when I'm listening to this song after 4-5 years I'm able to actually understand and relate to this song.
Everyone's been commenting that this song describes their life. It describes mine too, completely. But the sad part, is that there's too many people that feel this way. And there's too many people that don't care.
If I was granted one wish, it would be for all of us to not feel this way all the time. :/
Skylar grey i love your songs
