Both.

People don't like me because ...

* I'm not built likeable.

* I keep it real. People hate that. But I can't change how I roll. It's in my blood.

People might like me because ....

* I try to be kind and honest.


Either or. It is what it is.

Right to the point - no ambiguity 👍

@SW-User No time for that right ?

Yeah the first one. Haters follow me like the pied piper 🤣

@Lilymoon They are the ones who watch closer than anyone!

I live a hermit life. There are no people. 😁 Problem solved.

Oh I can definitely be either off-putting or endearing depending on the audience.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
neither. I know why they don't like me. They don't like me because I am myself and I will NOT be a chameleon to fit in with any group of people. I will not change my morals nor what I believe. People who judge me before they get a chance to know me also don't like me. The problem is them, not me.

People will like me if they share the same morals and values and have a sense of humor, because I can laugh at anything.

@iamnikki

A point about what you wrote in your first paragraph - - why do some insist you (meaning people in general) must adapt to their way of thinking or else? I never understood that concept.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@SW-User I don't know. People act like a bunch of high-schoolers. If you don't like what everyone else likes, if you don't do or wear or watch what they watch then you are cast out. I sometimes think that all those people cannot possible like all the same things. I think they just want to be on the "winning team" so they assimilate to whatever they need to in order to be included.

You are an independent thinker. They haven't that ability. The End.

ALL perfect, too - apparently not too many people liked George's fiancée (and wouldn't you know it, I forget her name as well as her character's name).
@SW-User Lol…. I was trying to think of her name too. Just came to me though, Susan. Don’t think she was a fan favorite.

You got me to thinking about everyone who was on that damn show now... 🤔😂

I struggle to understand why anyone would like me. When someone is nice to me, my immediate reaction is that they are just playing me. I am 22 and still haven't had a real romantic relationship because I genuinely believe that no girl would ever want to be me and the phrase "lucky lady" throws me for a loop because I believe I'm miserable to be near. I recently adopted a cat who loves to follow me everywhere and sit on my lap, and I still struggle to accept that she wants to be near me. I do seem to be healing, but I am on a VERY long road to recovery.

@SW-User

You sound shy. Really shy and introspective. Interpreting what others are thinking has been an ordeal for me, too. But - - I turned to drink to try to fit in. Please don't use a crutch like I did. I'm sure there are others on SW who share your doubts.

I'm a person who generally doesn't give a fuck whether anyone likes me or not. I'm me. I'm different, peculiar, strange, and at times complicated. I don't expect the average person to get that, but it can be amazing meeting someone who does. Last night I sat across a table from a couple who were genuinely interested in how I came to be where I am and the conversation was great.

@robb65 This comment requires 2 thumbs up 😁

👍👍
mindstruggle · 31-35, F
I’m just not a cup of tea for most people.
I just accepted it instead of wondering about it cause it just makes me sad.
It’s nice that some people in sw can tolerate me enough, tho.
SW-User
@mindstruggle

You are an individual. All of the best of us are 👍
Majority of the people who dislike me , dislikes me because I didn't do as they wanted me to.

But I have to agree that I don't really know why some dislikes me.

@LifeIsShort

Life is too short to care a whole lot about it - a wee bit, sure.
If you're anything like most here (me included), for example, this disliking/misunderstanding thing occurs (and maybe even starts) in one's own immediate family.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
No, I'm blunt at times.
Although, I don't mean anything negative by it I'm sure it's been taken the wrong way.
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain

!
If it's in you to be blunt, then that is certainly preferable to being wishy-washy.

Another 👍👍 comment this morning 😁
Yes. It's really almost over and I am still completely alone and poor.

@Roundandroundwego

Nawwww... I don't believe that. You may be poor but you have us here on SW!

Iwillwait · M
I get it. I'm difficult and sometimes abrasive.
SW-User
@Iwillwait

I've honestly never seen you being either of those things. If so, then so be it 👍
Iwillwait · M
@SW-User I have been, and am self aware enough to acknowledge this character-defect.
lissah · 36-40, F
I usually know why others don't like me. And i don't care.
Totes… it’s such a mystery 🤓
Sevendays · M
I'm right in the middle
octoberthesixth · 31-35, F
I'm a person who doesn't care....
LilPrincess · 46-50, F
I could care less...ain't here to kiss anyone's ass. Most days i can't understand why but there are times where i can't understand the whole jealousy thing 😒
Lilymoon · F
No, I understand why some people don’t like me. I’ve moved past the point of needing to confirm that they have a reason, though.
Liars don't like me.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I don’t get why anyone would like me most of the time.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User Thank you, I always feel like I am not enough and that follows me around a lot.
SW-User
@iamonfire696

You're welcome. In real life that is certainly a possibility because real life is, well... real. On here we can be who we want to be. We can befriend and we can dismiss much easier here, as well.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User I am the same in real life. I don’t have the energy to pretend to be something else unfortunately.

I alternate between the two. I go from thinking I'm a likable guy, and nobody has a reason to hate me, to thinking I'm worthless and nobody has a reason to like me.

At some point, I'm hoping my brain will settle down somewhere in the middle.
