    I have this too. It’s when you move too silent. I just start conversations by saying DO NOT BE AFRAID with the voice in their head. Can recommend.

    Ooor, someone had to “survive” their family’s bullshit and being unseen was the best way to do it. Then it became so ingrained in said someone’s existential fingerprint, that they’re now a ninja without even realising it.

      You don’t need some tragic family background to be soulless creature wearing human costume.

        Yeah I’m like this and it’s not really a trauma thing for me. I’m just autistic and ADHD which basically means I take advice too seriously and I have a bad habit of getting into someone’s field of view or in their way by accident. As a result of being advised to be less visible every time I got in someone’s view, I accidentally became invisible. It’s something I’ve been working on lately actually and I’ve noticed I scare people less often since I started thinking about it

        You don’t need to assume that it isn’t a tragic familial background, either. Or any other sort of trauma/condition which would push one to close off. Throwing the “soulless” label aroud willy-nilly is just an extension of abusing the “narcissist” moniker. It prohibits any nuance and facilitates unjustified suspicion.

        Yes, there are sociopaths who can be considered soulless. But just because one is odd does not intrinsically mean one is soulless. There’s a plethora of other potential reasons.

        Plus, don’t forget, oddity is in the eye of the beholder in the first place. My odd may be completely different than your odd.

          Yeah trowing around soulless label is horrible abuse in a joke post with a screenshot from 4chan.

    I like to say ‘knock knock’ to get someone’s attention, seems to be a little less starting than a hand on the shoulder.

    Approach where they can see you in their line of vision but not directly. Approach at a 45 degree angle.

    IDK, since my soul was collected people seem to unconsciously avoid me, and eye contact that lasts for a second would seem long, if he can describe having a conversation I suspect it’s something else.
