Is it normal that i'm invisible?

I've always been kind of a background person. I only have two friends, spend most of my time reading and drawing, and my significant other is my sketchbook. I want to be noticed, but no matter how hard I try, nobody pays me any attention. I can literally jump up and down in my classroom, and nothing will happen. Not even a glance in my general direction. It's almost like I don't exist.
Its gone on almost my whole life, so I just thought that it was normal.

Recently I keep having this dream that I die in front of a large crowd, (maybe 800 people?) but not one person notices, and I just fade away into the night.

After having this dream, I can't help thinking that it isn't as normal as I've always thought.

I'm not emo, I don't cut myself or do drugs, and I'm not all depressed like Eeyore, either. I've NEVER had suicidal thoughts, and I'm pretty optimistic for the most part.

All I want to know is if it's normal to be basically invisible to people, and if there is anyone out there who has this, "unfortunate curse", as my friend refers to it...
Only nice comments, and please, don't comment that I'm a loner, it doesn't help any...

Thanks in advance!

    When I read this I was kind of thinking you meant literally. Was about to say you are either trolling or nuts.

    I wish I was like that a background person I hated it that when I was in school people were always tying to talk to me and I was just trying to get threw the school day and focus on better things than listening to their dumb ass crap about drugs and alcohol

    I have the opposite problem and it's not much better everyone looks at me and then makes fun of me for little things like omg I don't wear their stupid clothes etc. Every mistake I make everybody talks about its like being the bad celebrity in high school when I haven't even done anything wrong

    You sound like a friend of mine. I can totally imagine him jumping up and down in a class room and no one reacting much. But, my friend is in this situation because he doesn't talk to anyone and when he does he says very non-expressive one or two word responses. I don't think that I have ever seen him say anything without someone asking him something first. I think that being interested in others will get others interested in you.
