thoughts

I have days when I want to be invisible. I don't want to respond to anything I just want to absorb. I enjoy observing and listening but I always try not to contribute or intrude too much because I want to see people in their natural/uninfluenced state. I am always aware of the dynamic I (the individual) creates in a room. Even by just sitting in a room you are contributing to the dynamic of that space. If you are not speaking it may just be in terms of your demographic -a 19 year old girl- or a 53 year old man. Or it may be the expression or mood that you carry that will contribute to the dynamic. Anxiety or joy or anger...whatever you feel it seems to have some kind of influence.
If you speak that will also change the dynamic of the room. It will provoke a thought in someone else's mind. Or it will change the course of the conversation. It is fascinating! Some people totally dominate this effect. Others withdraw.
I was researching the idea of invisibility.

Invisibility
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisibility clothing-visibility following people-my sister make sure she doesn’t notice the experience of being a spy stereotypical…. Marylin Monroe-turning on and off charisma
Noticibleness-by being abnormal-slightly abnormal Dress as different social group and see reaction- intergrating art/performance into reality
Some thoughts must not be articulated How much of people do we actually know? See?
The art of being inappropriate- heaps of pads
http://invisibility100.tripod.com/ “Another woman wore only pastel colors. She tried not to move or speak at business meetings, as if she wanted to blend in with the wallpaper.” Wear rown-pastel I know a middle-aged woman who keeps the number of her friends down to a manageable few by putting off answering their messages or by becoming offended by some unintended slight and refusing to be treated in that way.
