Am I dead and don't know it? Am I the guy in the Sixth Sense?

[whysonasty]

Just texted a friend who I'm supposed to have dinner with. He comes back with "OMG, I am out of the country. Completely forgot about you!"

Fine. Fine. But it's just the latest in a long line of being forgotten about and I'd love to know why I'm apparently so forgettable! I'd ask him but I'd get a non answer. I can provide many sad examples for readers who need to cheer themselves up about their own lives if they so wish. I mean... even bloody automatic doors don't see me and I've been squashed more times than I care to admit.

AIBU to ask if I could be dead and not know it? If so, can anyone out there see dead people who don't know they're dead so I can have someone reliable to talk to.

Dropped off the home page. No votes... No comments... Do I need to write my post on someone's foggy mirror? Rattle some chains...?

I can see you! And I'm sorry your friend let you down.

Un-boo-lievable

Ah OP!

It sounds like you need to find some new friends.

That's a shame this happens to me a lot too. People are busy and self focused

I completely get this! I often ask ‘can you see me?’ Even when I am talking the person I am talking to starts a new conversation with someone else

Well I'm clearly the creepy little kid then as I can see this post!
OP I'm sorry, that sounds rubbish.

You know, I don't know why I get ignored. I'm boo-tylicious, after all. A freak in the sheets. Always get in the spirit of things.

I get the door thing too. According to a Simpson's episode it's because I've got no soul. I bet that hasn't cheered you up.

Let's start a club.

Are you talking in Puns on purpose?

Perhaps join a team sport..there’s always clubs looking to recruit new players: cricket, basketball, football.

Shitty of your friend -

I think in the old days we made a commitment & there was then little to no comms in between & you met at the time stated.

Now it seems commitments are made with a lot of interaction & then building up to the actual event there seem to be a lot more communication.

Maybe he genuinely forgot as you thought it was a done deal and he is more of the number two style.

But sorry you are feeling like this seriously shitty -

You are not dead - well I don't think so -

@#$*! Just got hit by a lightning bolt!

Oh, op, I'm sorry to hear this. But you sound funny - bet you'd be a great friend. 💐

I would absolutely love if OP was only accidentally punning.

OP, the other day I texted a friend who immediately went “Oh! I knew I’d forgotten to invite someone – it was YOU!” Can I join the ghost club?

Indeed you can, @stuntbubbles. Especially because I like your username.

Can you see your own reflection in the mirror, OP?

Fucking hell, don’t give her vampirism as well, afterlife is hard enough

I've frequently walked into automatic doors one time I said to the person behind sorry I'm apparently dead do you mind opening the doors for me? They told me it was nothing to joke about and also walked into the door the security guy was dying with laughter and had to.let us BOTH out

@stripeyflowers I stopped looking in mirrors once the crows feet lengthened and I started to feel dead inside.

I've decided it's not me that's dead, it's got to be my phone signal.

I am actually a ghost. For anyone that gets my username.

People walk into me in the street regularly.
