For as long as I can remember, I seem to have a face that people either ignore, or look at in disgust. And it's not just my face, people seem to take great pains to ignore me in meetings or put me on hold to talk to others.
There must be something in the way I look or carry on that somehow implies stupidity.
Even when I'm saying something useful or meaningful, somehow, it always gets ignored. I've lost track of the number of meetings I've been in where I'll suggest something, it gets ignored, then five minutes later, someone else invariably says the same thing, and it's considered a great idea!
And it's always the case, that when I show my ignorance on a subject, I usually have every person in the room looking at me like I just ripped a huge fart.
I don't claim to be the cleverest man in the world, but every so often in meetings or social gatherings I do think I come up with useful ideas or some witty repartee.
Maybe that's the problem, I try too hard. Or maybe it's that I have a very big face, and that makes me a big target. Maybe it's the water ...
