How to Make People Feel Invisible

2/20/2022

​Make Me Laugh was a television show where contestants would try not to laugh while a comedian told jokes.


This was a challenge for the comedian, because their career credibility is based on their capacity for making people laugh.

Yet this was also a challenge for the contestant, because they were positioned center stage in front of everyone with all eyes on them. Some contestants would laugh simply because they were nervous!

If I had been given the opportunity to be on the show as a young boy, I would have won the grand prize, because as a child I had the ability to make other people feel invisible. 

It’s simple, really. All you have to do is ignore the people around you.

This is easy when others also treat you as an invisible person—because when no one pays you any attention, it’s easy to return the favor.

The true test, however, is when they try to get an emotional reaction out of you—like a comedian whose career relies on riling you up. To make others invisible under these conditions is a skill reserved for the masters. 

I received my masters when I was just six years old.
