people see what they expect to see. I was told years ago that everyone has an agenda and unless you interfere with said agenda, they don't care anything about you.
As far as noticing things in certain professions, I would like to say that is true. But being alert in a situation that can be life threatening is far different than daily life. b The drive to work is classic. Everyone thinks they can tell you exactly what happened on the drive, and yes you are paying attention but it is a habit, you do it everyday and many peopke actually place an event that didn't happen on that particular day into a story. I always wanted to believe that police officers noticed things, but they don't anymore than anyone else. And even when an event occurs, our mind processes and reprocesses it until we have a whole different scenario. What color was the person's shirt in front of you at the store today? The waitress' name last week? This is 99% of your life. Did you lock the door when you left?
I do on occasion do one thing that actually makes a person notice and no it isn't wearing a micro mini, even though I have done that and not been noticed. I smile. When you smile the person you smile at has but two options, smile back or act like they didn't see. Most are programmed to smile back. Now when you smile, they may remember that but ask what they saw you wearing...
Did you lock the door when you left this morning? Are you SURE? Now without scrolling up, what is in the background of Isha's avatar? Hell, men prove this everyday. How many times have you noticed your SO's top, hair color when she changed it, a fair number of you here don't even know her eye color (they are the color of a summer day, warm and welcoming with little flecks of laughter that dance when you smile...Hey I am good at tap dancing when needed).
And then on the other hand, most of us have gone through life being invisible. When we can dress to attract attention, we may want to do it. I always say "If I spend this much time getting ready, someone better darn well notice". Otherwise, why bother?
Did you lock the door? Are you sure?
