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 😁

👍👍

Umile · 41-45, F Best Comment

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.

@Umile

Right to the point - no ambiguity 👍

Umile · 41-45, F

@RenFur No time for that right ?

Lilymoon · F

StraCat · 41-45, M

Oh I can definitely be either off-putting or endearing depending on the audience.

LilPrincess · 41-45, 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

@LilPrincess yup

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.

@eventtemple123

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.

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.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@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

@RenFur 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.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@iamnikki

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

I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. And I’m okay with that.🫖

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).

OlderSometimesWiser · F

@RenFur Lol…. I was trying to think of her name too. Just came to me though, Susan. Don’t think she was a fan favorite.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@OlderSometimesWiser

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

Another 👍👍 comment this morning 😁

NoThanksLeon · M

Liars don't like me.

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.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@mindstruggle

You are an individual. All of the best of us are 👍

LifeIsShort · 31-35, M

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.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@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.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@Justmeraeagain

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

Iwillwait · M

I get it. I'm difficult and sometimes abrasive.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@Iwillwait

I've honestly never seen you being either of those things. If so, then so be it 👍

Iwillwait · M

@RenFur I have been, and am self aware enough to acknowledge this character-defect.

Roundandroundwego · 61-69

Yes. It's really almost over and I am still completely alone and poor.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@Roundandroundwego

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

Melissa501 · 36-40, F

I usually know why others don't like me. And i don't care.

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

Totes… it’s such a mystery 🤓

octoberthesixth · 26-30, F

I'm a person who doesn't care....

Sevendays · M

I'm right in the middle

bijouxbroussard · 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.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

I don’t get why anyone would like me most of the time.

@RenFur Thank you, I always feel like I am not enough and that follows me around a lot.

RenFur · 70-79, M

@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

@RenFur I am the same in real life. I don’t have the energy to pretend to be something else unfortunately.

LordShadowfire · M

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.
