People don't like that I'm wordy/longwinded, that I'm boring/have weird interests, that I'm clingy/needy/dependent, that I'm avoidant (they mistake it for snobbery), that I'm a "crybaby"/overly sensitive/thin skinned, that I get sarcastic when I'm hurt or frustrated, and that I try to stand up for myself when they insult me.

These (and my physical appearance) are the things I get ridiculed and criticized for the most, anyway.

 

People think I'm very awkward and eccentric, and that my interests are extremely weird. They are also very put off by how I speak and the level of intensity that I speak at. I like to have intelligent, engaging conversations and I don't do well with casual chitchat. I like to debate and discuss things at length, and I have a somewhat unusual vocabulary. I am also incredibly opinionated and have serious trust issues, so it's hard for me to maintain friendships. I think people are also very uncomfortable with me having a Service Dog because it makes my disability obvious. I find that a lot of folks don't know how to act cordial around disabled people.
Many people are also uncomfortable with the fact that I am in a partnership with a man who has mild Autism (Asperger's). It's very unfair and sad that people look down on me for that, but they do.
People think I'm full of myself as well. I'm actually not even close to that...
I could honestly go on forever about all the reasons people don't like me. I'm honestly used to people hating me so I don't even really try to make friends anymore.

 

Because I don't talk to them.

 

Because I'm boring, and because I don't talk a lot.

 

Talk...I CAN'T TALK!

 

Because i'm overly emotional, i usually answer in sentence like '' Yes'','' No'','' Oh.. Wow'' I don't really respond well to what people say and i complain a lot sometimes when i'm sad or angry+ I'm boring :sigh After a while i kind of understand why i'm not exactly popular.

 

Because I don't like people. Not in a hateful or misanthropic way - I just find most people boring. I can get along with them, hell even act outgoing for a while, but it gets draining and I want to retreat into my thoughts a while.

I have a personality, but it takes corresponding personalities to really allow me to express myself. I've been trying hard recently (past 5 months or so) to talk and joke around despite my depression/boredom/introversion and it has helped a lot. I've definitely gotten better at being more 'colorful'.

 

Becuase I'm boring, don't talk to them, and don't care.

 

becoz of not talking **** all the time

I'm not sure if there are people who like me or not, because I don't have any friends or acquaintances, I stay home most of the time.

 

^same here.

i don't know if anyone really disliked me in hs... i was mostly wallpaper... i always thought they did, but looking back on it, i really don't know for certain.

when i was younger, it was because i was "weird."

 

Because i'm not like them.

 

Because I noticably don't give a **** what they think.

I am also a fairly picky eater but I have never had anyone say they don't like me because of it, perhaps treated me a bit strange but never that far.

I'll be your friend OP. I eat up negative vibes like cookies.

 

Because i'm a blank page.

 

well i don't go out much so i'm not sure but judging by the experiences i had before i'd say it's because i'm not interesting, i can't talk or i'm just too shy and apparently i'm too serious and sometimes come off as insensitive even though i'm sensitive as **** so go figure

 

I don't talk much? Keep to myself? Always look nervous and awkward.

 

Always look nervous and awkward.

Same. If I try to smile at people I think they think I'm weird, if I don't smile then I think they think I look mean. Of course I have RBF so people have told me before they got to know me they thought I was snobby & b!tchy.

 

I'm a monster.

 

Because I'm different (ugly, trans, bi, poly, erotica writer, etc.). And because I'm different, people feel free to judge me and insult me. And because I don't have any problem standing up for myself, I get into a lot of fights.

I avoid getting into fights IRL now by never leaving the house. But they're hard to avoid online. If I tell people what I really think/feel, someone invariably criticizes me. Or people just criticize people like me in general because they find us absurd. And since I invariably think that those people are idiots, I find it very hard not to retaliate and tell them what I think of them. And then everything escalates.

I'm working very, very hard to control my anger issues, but it's not always easy when people are constantly provoking you with snide, passive-aggressive comments. When you've had to deal with as many a******* as I have, it just becomes second nature to lash out at people. But I'm not as bad as I used to be. People who think I'm bad now have no idea what I'm capable of.



This is a feeling I understand only too well.

 

**You might want to take a look at how self-defeating some of these posts are. I don't see anything like what I am reading on here. I have corresponded with many of you over time and I can't picture the same negativity.

 

Well... Most of the time people seem to actually like me...

I guess my main problem is I don't talk. And even if I have someone to talk to, I can't go talk to them even if I wanted to.
And I also always expect people to not want to talk to me. And I don't talk back unless I'm forced to (asked a direct question, group work or what have you...).


Hard to say whether or not people would like me if I got a deeper relationship with someone...

 

My muteness/closed-off body language. I imagine it makes me look very disinterested or rude.

 

im considered boring and dont really talk about anything except for the few interest i have. I also come off standoffish and i can be cold. Thats why no one likes me.

 

I don't know that people don't like me as a rule. But I guess when I think back it almost seemed like that people didn't like my basic personality. It bothered me a lot growing up but eventually I just accepted it and stopped being so open with people. I found that when people don't like your personality, it sometimes helps if you don't show too much of it for them to latch onto. People usually like me better if they get to know me a little slower.

One thing. You know what they say about first impressions. Well, they're often wrong but when people first meet you if they find the slightest little thing to pick on, they'll zero right in on it before they know anything else about you.

 

Because I freak out when somebody acts like they like me. It makes me nervous as hell.

 

i'm quiet ad no one finds me interesting or tries to talk to me

 

quiet, awkward, get embarrassed too easily/boring

 

Awkward/socially inept. Anxiety isn't really all that much of a problem anymore. The damage from years of anxiety during my teens is though.
