i would try to figure out what it was that was making others not like me...and depending on what it was i'd then decide whether or not i want to change it
vintagerock: i would try to figure out what it was that was making others not like me...and depending on what it was i'd then decide whether or not i want to change it
sensitive: What if it was something you could not change?
then i'd avoid the people who don't like me...that's their problem...i'd gravitate around the ones that did like me...
the only reason people hate someone is either because they're jealous and intimidated or the person in question isn't very nice,,, since i'm nice enough i can live with it if people hate me for the other two reasons
sxc666: Are you talking about you personally Mary? or another situation? Just anyone in general
Me personally I really dont care what people think of me. If anyone is making you feel this way, then they have the issues not yourself. What if say there is a group of people that are really good friends and they get together and think of ways to make you feel unwanted, to make you go away, what then? You have to be able to look in the mirror and know you're a good person. Nothing else really matters other than that.I agree. Dont let people get you down...............
sensitive: Really? So you would not let others attitude influence you to leave?
Been there done that......for a day or two at most. The people here that I call friends are very important to keep in my life and interact with. If I take a break at anytime in the future it will be just that....a break.
I'm not leaving until the mods kick me out! So be nice!!!! Take care!

Mary hun if you wait to win a popularity poll you will wait a long time.
however if you enjoy your self with people like you its starts now. So dump the negative people concentrate on people who like you. No one is that popular that everyone likes them

sensitive: That is good that you don't let others make you feel that way. There is some out there that is not that strong of a person. Some are sensitive.
are you calling me insensitve?
I don't know about you, but I grew up being trained that girls are supposed to be nice, and that everyone will love you...well, when I hit the real world, I found out (the hard way) that it is not true, you can try to please people to the enth degree and fail, so why put yourself out? If someone doesn't like me, it's okay by me. Nothing more, nothing less..I can handle it. It doesn't hurt my feelings, because I have learned that not all people are for everyone. I refuse to bow down to a person that plays the victim constantly. It is a type of control thing, and I will not play into it. It's just learned behavior through experience..that's all...
now take that insensitive remark back!!!
all of that being said, if you are my friend, then there are feelings involved, and that is a different story. There's a history there, memories, good times, but I still won't allow myself to be controlled.

no one can make me feel anything i always have a choice and i am responsible for my feelings
thats what i was taught is adult.
not everyone will like me or even 'get me' thats simple math and im ok w/ it. if i hope to be liked by most or am obsessed with trying to 'fix' that- well, i have a problem (been there done that)
if i am close for a good while w/ someone- part of intimacy is being able to share feedback and advice so yeah i have looked at stuff suggested by such people thats appropriate...

I agree. People should concentrate on the ones that like them and not on the negative ones. But what do you do when it's a large percentage of the people?
sxc666: this is very true Mary. But if someone made you feel uncomfortable or hated because of a disease. Then they would have serious issues.I was meaning on a personal level.
Not me. I don't have a disease, but my daughter does. I was just using that as an example of things that are unchangeable. I agree.

No babe I was not calling you insensitive. Yes I also grew that way and found out that that is not true.
That is good that you are that way, then you don't allow yourself to be hurt.

Nobody has the right to make you feel bad, I know it was an ex. but if it has to do with your daughter, she comes first. With a name like sensitive maybe you are, don't overreact what others think. I wish I knew what it is your saying but I understand that you may not want post the exact problem, but if you can you should and people can zone in on a better answer..

If you can count real friends on one hand your lucky. Forget the others

I agree... all you can be is a good person yourself to the best of your ability... normally when people are nasty is due to some lacking in their character.. perhaps a difficult upbringing or something like that... or it could just be that there having a bad day... at the end of the day we have no control over what other people do... we can only be responsible for how we treat people
