My version - I need to constantly remind those around me that I am helpful and provide services or they'll forget I exist.

No joke, that's what my life has taught me. People don't hate me, but if I stop gently reminding them I exist, then they'll forget me. It's happened many, many times. I've come to accept that I'm not inherently likable.

What if you want them all to forget?

I kinda wish. I wish I didn't crave approval and companionship, but I do. I feel it as intense as any hunger pang.
