Do People Like You? Why don't people like me, is there something wrong with me?

As I've got older - 22 now - I've found that people don't really like me. At work people smile and chat sometimes but I always feel an awkwardness atmosphere.. at school I had no friends, people never wanted to be around me despite me trying many times to talk and make new friends Disappointed . I'm curious as to whether you have any friends and if you notice if people like or avoid you. At work I get spoken to but it feels forced and I just feel really sad because I'm alone and no one wants to get to know me and like me.

I'm a fun friendly girl, I'm thin could possibly eat a bit more but I try my best. I have dreams of becoming a mum someday and settling down with someone, but I just don't see that happening. Is there something wrong with me because I'm like a plague which everyone avoids.

  • I don’t really know why to say, or how to make you feel better.  Do you have any family or close friends?  I’m a bit older than you and have noticed since my early childhood that people just seem to hate me.  I don’t do anything wrong, I’m not rude to people and I don’t make rude or personal comments.  But people always just seem to really dislike me.  I was the hardest working employee when I was 16 and started the same day as five other people my age.  They all played around and skived etc, but i always worked hard.  Yet my boss just hated me.  And that seems to be consistent throughout my life.  When my gp mentioned autism to me and I read up on it a bit I did wonder whether there’s stuff I do that I’ve never been aware of.  Or whether it’s just from being slightly different to other people. I don’t know.  But while I have no advice, you’re not alone.  People are dicks. 

  • Hello.

    Sadly my family are all now gone and I have no friends, I know people at work but they are only co-workers and I think most of them don't like me sadly.

    I can sympathize with you, it's the same for me. I have a nice personality, i'm friendly and always do everything to the best of my abilities. I even make an effort to socialise well, I try to make eye contact and am never rude but people just avoid me and I can tell they don't want to be near me.

    I'm sorry you go through the same things as me, I hope things will change for you soon. No one deserves this, everybody should be treated equally no matter who they are or what they look like.

    Thank you for the response. I really appreciate it. X
