It bothers me to know that people don't like me...?

Question

I have a fair amount of friends, but I have this insecurity that it just bothers me when people don't like me and I can't help but wonder why. It just eats away at me. Like this girl (who used to be my friend, which probably makes it worse) told my other friend she doesn't like me and I don't even know why. I know this girl is immature and it really shouldn't bother me.. but it does.

Answer 1

im kind of this way too, even if i get a nasty comment from a total stranger it bothers me for the rest of the day - sometimes the week!

I guess u just cant please everyone and shouldnt really waste ur life in trying to do so.

A lot easier said than done i know.

But just **** em!!

they dont deserve ur time or energy!  

Answer 2

Everyone wants to be accepted and thought well of by others. Nevertheless, even if you were perfect there would be people who would not like you.  Think of Jesus' example.  He was perfect and his friend, Judas, betrayed Him for money. The very people He came to save had Him crucified.  A huge reasons people don't like others is because of jealousy.  

Answer 3

Its no different than you, you cant possibly like everybody,DO YOU!!!!

Answer 4

Your not the only one with that problem.I know a few.lol.Not every one is going to like every one.Once you get that you'll be fine.

Answer 5

As Krista said focus on the positive and enjoy the friends you have!

We all meet for a reason, even if our lives barely touch and we learn something, either positive or negative, from everyone we meet.

Don't bother about the people you think don't like you, keep looking forward in a positive way and you will probably find you have more friends than ever.

Answer 6

There is nothing wrong with feeling that way...your only human.

I would look at it in a different perspective though. You have friends who love you and you love being around so concentrate on spending time with them and having fun wiht the important people in your life.

There are reasons for certain people being in our lives and reasons for others NOT to be in our lives, its all about a learning experience.

Focus on the positive energy that you have and try and not worry about people that dont like you, they are, however, focusing on the negative energy....so you my friends are better off in this situation.

Do not waste your love and energy caring about why others don't like you, focus on the reasons people do.

best of luck.
