Is it normal for the bus to leave you at the stop?

I I’ve gone here for school for over a year now and where I’m from we don’t have any public transportation so taking the bus is kinda new for me.

One thing that happens to me frequently that I’m a bit curious about is the fact that sometimes the bus driver will see me at the stop and just keep driving. This only ever happens to me when I’m alone at the stop. I know I’m at the right stop because I just saw the bus leave a while ago and I’ve been sitting here waiting for 20 minutes. Then it finally comes back around and just leaves me there without stopping?? It’s not because I’m not standing, it’s not like the bus stops and I take too long to get on, the bus is not full at all, so I’m confused what is it. I’ve never paid it any mind beyond it being very annoying but I want to know if this is a common experience or not.

I just want to know before I make judgement if there is an actual explanation for this or if it’s just a case of the bus driver being rude. Please lmk
