What Is being Invisible?

I'm kind of lost on what it means to be invisible. I feel as though I might have a grasp of it. In the case of the narrator it is to move through a crowd unseen or be so generic that no one recognizes you. Invisibility in this book reminds me of the Lego Movie, where the main character was so plain, that they couldn't use satellites to find him and perhaps the author intends for invisibility to be like that.

Do they invite you out to things you would just rather NOT go to?  Does their presence occasionally make you uncomfortable? Is this your face around them? Are they a bit too happy for a Monday? Do they laugh at jokes, that just aren't THAT funny? Everyone has their own sense of humor, but I'm talking like laughing so hard you walk ar
