Sounds to me like you need some in-person friendships. Social media can never, ever replace that. And it also sounds to me like you're an introvert like me. Which means we wait for the other person to make the first move. Is it also possible that you are missing hints that people are dropping that they'd like to hang out?
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@LordShadowfire I actually have those. The problem is more that I spend time with pretty much none of them outside of work, and nobody has been much interested in changing that.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@KiwiDan Yeah, unfortunately, there's a lot of that going around since COVID. People are all becoming introverts.

calicuz · 56-60, M
I can honestly say that I can like a person, but when it comes to online friendships, I'm just not the type to DM anyone or have a long conversation online. IRL though, I'm sure I could have some very long conversations with those same people.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
@calicuz Exactly. Well said.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@calicuz Most of my interactions with my IRL friends is on Instagram.
being · 36-40, F
@calicuz I'm like that too...
AliyaNahid · 26-30, F
Don't pick up who is not loyal to you.
I can describe such people as star-crossed. Smoke and mirrors. You deserve better. They call on you when needing you. You better take off on them for your peace. Right people will come into your life. Trust the process of nature.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@AliyaNahid How do you tell the disloyal from the busy?
akindheart · 61-69, F
I have the same problem. I have even been told i am unlikeable which hurt. Enjoy your own company
akindheart · 61-69, F
@KiwiDan LOL. thank you! i believe others might too.
dumasme · 51-55, M
@akindheart I've liked you for years ;)
akindheart · 61-69, F
@dumasme hey i have at least 2 friends on here....well maybe more so thank you!
Kuronekko · 41-45, F
People get confused by me I think. I feel very deeply for people, but can have a hard time showing it.
@Kuronekko I want to be with people but i push them away as i am scared of being hurt
Kuronekko · 41-45, F
@nevergiveup Address the reasons why first. Self love is a must because nobody else can make up for a lack of that.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Kuronekko You seem pretty neat to me
meh. not so much.
I exist out of spite.

sorry it's wearing on you. I wish I had better suggestions for making it less worse, but I'd probably be trying to do them myself.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@dirge It's OK. I don't think anyone can actually fix this, or me.
Wiseacre · F
Maybe ur too fixated on being liked. I just come her to entertain myself and enjoy the experience...bc I have a life outside of SW.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Wiseacre I do too, but when it's just go to work and go home, and nobody wants to spend time with you outside of work, it makes me extra depressed sometimes (which is how this post happened)
Bilboes · 26-30, F
I mean, I hardly care.. You can control how you act. You can’t control whether or not people are going to like you. Some people might be really insecure and find reasons to dislike you for no reason. But even if you changed those things about yourself they would find some other reason to dislike you because you’re not the problem.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Bilboes Too true
wildfl0wer · 41-45, F
To a certain few I am, and I'm just fine with that. I don't worry much about whether I am or not, but I do prefer a small circle.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@wildfl0wer A small circle is a helpful thing to have
Reject · 26-30, M
I have no idea, but that’s not important to me. I do my best for them regardless.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Reject That's all you can do.
I'm struggling to believe that they do.
calicuz · 56-60, M
@mindstruggle

We do, you just have to get used to us. 🙂
Reject · 26-30, M
@mindstruggle I won’t speak for everyone, but I do!
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@mindstruggle It can be hard to see, but I like you (if that means much) :)
emiliya · 22-25, F
I don't know. Isn't it those you love most who dislike you or come to dislike you, or feel apathy?
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@emiliya it feels like everyone's apathetic honestly
emiliya · 22-25, F
@KiwiDan it matters only when it's people you don't want to be apathetic. I couldn't care less if others are apathetic
Lilymoon · F
I can feel vibes if someone doesn't like me. Even online
GunFinger · F
@Lilymoon same.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Lilymoon me too
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Justmeraeagain I like you, at least from what I've seen of you around this site
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@KiwiDan Thank you,Dan.
You seem like a nice guy
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Justmeraeagain Thanks :)
Orca4950 · 70-79, M
It serms to be the norm rather then the exception.

Yes if i arrange something with a friend or adult children it might happen.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Orca4950 Nobody ever wants to do anything with me outside of work. It makes me sad and lonely.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Some seem to like me, most are neutral and don't really care and I'm sure some can't stand me.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover Some is better than everyone hating you :P
JamesBugman · 56-60, T
Nah, I am despised in most places, it doesn't bother me. I would prefer to live in a cabin in the woods by myself surrounded by animals and bugs the rest of my life. Be like Tarzan.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@JamesBugman Why would people despise you?
JamesBugman · 56-60, T
@KiwiDan Because I voice my opinion on a lot of things, and people get upset. Not my problem.
No. And it makes me really sad.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@HumansRMorons I'm sorry
GunFinger · F
Some admit they do.
calicuz · 56-60, M
@GunFinger

I know I do. 🙂
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@GunFinger You seem cool to me :)
GerOttman · 61-69, M
Only until they get to know me!
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@GerOttman 😂
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
Let go of the opinions of others. If you approve of yourself then they dont matter that much.

The art of not giving a fuck.

Some people find that attractive. If you do it the right way.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@GuyWithOpinions I'm doing my best, but when I get really depressed it becomes rather difficult
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@KiwiDan yeah i know the feeling.
Take tapas with you and fizzy water.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@deadinternet I don't know if I've ever actually had Tapas before.
TurtlePink · 22-25, F
A lot of women don’t. Men like me but I’m starting to hate them
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@TurtlePink I think they might just want you for sex :(
tenente · 100+, M
nope. i'm intimidating in an un-intimidating way. i'm just like the most ordinary looking guy, but i project bad vibes and people give me lots of space
