How much do you feel like you don’t matter?
How much do you feel like you will never matter to certain people?
How often have you been made to feel by someone that they don’t care about what you think or what you have to say?
How often have you been treated in a way that makes you feel like you are insignificant?
To what extent have you been made to feel like you are invisible?
1 = Not at all‚ 2 = A little‚ 3 = Somewhat‚ 4 = A lot
