Ignored

To deliberately pay no attention to; disregard. This implies a conscious decision to overlook or dismiss something, whether it be a person, a sound, a fact, or a request. The act of ignoring can stem from various reasons, including disinterest, a desire to avoid confrontation, or an attempt to exert power or control. It often creates feelings of being unimportant or unseen, and can have negative social and emotional consequences. This is a state of being disregarded and unheeded, where things are left untouched.
