Today, I realized how invisible I am when our professor was showing us that he knows the names of all the students in our class. When he reached me, he just smiled at me and skipped to the person next to me. I took 3 courses with this guy yet I'm the only one he didn't know the name of. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after being with the company for over 3 years, I realised nobody really knows my name. This was after my boss was walking around a new staff member and couldn't introduce me. Neither could my colleague, who's been sitting next to me for the last 6 months. FML
Today, I realized how invisible/forgettable I am. At work, I went to ask my supervisor what I was working on today. My supervisor admitted that he forgot I was working today. My supervisor is my brother. We drove to work together this morning. FML
Today, I found out that no one actually likes me as a friend. They only like me to get answers for schoolwork. How did I find out? They were talking about it in front of me. Apparently I'm also invisible to them. FML
Today, my professor was doing roll-call. As usual, she didn't say my name because it's so close to the person before me. So to differentiate, she decided she would call the girl before me "the pretty one". FML
Today, I was the only girl in my lab class. The instructor was learning our names. When he came to me, I went to say "mine will be easy" and it came out as "I'm easy." FML
Today, I've noticed a pattern with my classmates: Every time a new student shows up, they are treated by my classmates as though they've known each other for years. Everyone except me. When I first came along, I was more or less a wallflower. No one wanted anything to do with me. The same is true today. FML
Today, I went to my Calculus lecture, one of a class of 200 people. As I looked down I noticed that a guy a few rows in front of me was on Facebook. When I took a closer look, I noticed he was viewing my profile. He stalked the profile for a full 45 minutes. I have never met this guy in my life. FML
Today, I went to my class as usual. I've had my eyes on one guy for a year now. A new girl came in and he was talking about her with his friends when my friend suggested me instead of her. He took a glance at me before turning back into the conversation making the same face I did when I saw a disintegrated frog that'd been run over. FML
Today, I walked into the wrong classroom, sat down, took notes for ten minutes, and only realized my mistake when the professor asked me to introduce myself and explain why I was there. I wasn’t even enrolled in the class. FML
Today, I was copying an assignment from my friend and was feeling confident that I was gonna pass. I later found out I copied his name too, so the teacher failed us both. He won't talk to me now. FML

The only reason you would be invisible is if you do nothing to put yourself in the light. FYL and YDI

Instead of pretending you didn't exist the professor could have swallowed his pride and asked instead of making you feel like nothing.

I get it. I had a class where the teacher never picked me to participate, even if I was the only one with their hand raised. even went as far as to say, "really? no one?" a few times.

Two years ago, I was in a class where the professor calls the girls by her name but never called us by our name. He calls us by "hey you"

OP's grammar sounds perfect to me. Now it is likely he will make a point of remembering your name. That's how it happens with shy and discreet people, but also in lots of other situations. It often takes something out of the ordinary for people to fix names into their memories. So when I m new somewhere I make a point of introducing myself first before raising an issue or discussing any point one a one to one basis rather than wait for the opportunity to arise. People are grateful for a chance to be reminded of names , and when they know who you are they find it easier to address you rather than someone else.

My geometry teacher cold calls kids and I struggle with math so I try to keep under the radar. She always mixed up my name with another kids until a week or 2 ago so in my case that's not bad
