Starting to be used to be invisible.

I've noticed in the past that I'm good at staying invisible, if I'm in a place with lots of people, as long as I maintain a low profile, I can be completely invisible. Take the example of the library I use to study. I've been using it to study for the last three years, although it's not my departments library it's the quietest in all university and, as me, almost all users are frequent users.

As this library I'm talking is small, it's normal for it's users to recognize each others, but strangely enough (or not) this year I had to talk with some of them. I knew who they were, but they hadn't the slightest idea of who I was.

I'm beginning to believe that this is an advantage: to have the ability to pass as an invisible person, to be unrecognizable, gives me a sensation of pleasure that I have a hard time explaining. I enjoy not being noticed, not being recognized. I love the unique felling of being alone in a room full of people… it gives me peace.
