Does it bother you when someone doesn't like you?

[JenBKR]

It used to bother me a lot, but I realized today that I don't really care anymore. Is that something that changes as you get older? I work with a girl who, at least I think, doesn't like me (I really don't care for her much either). It occured to me today that I don't care, and a few years ago that would really bother me...

Omg, yes!! It used to bother me so much if someone didnt like me. It still does a little but not like it used to. Not everyone in this world is going to like me but hey thats ok. I know I'm a good person and thats all that matters right?

That's exactly how I feel now! It bothers me a little, but nothing like how I used to feel.

Same here, it used to bother the heck out of me, not so much anymore.

Sometimes though lately it is my fault, I am not as social as I was before & sometimes have anxiety & won't want to visit friends sometimes for weeks on end, for no reason at all. I just can't get out like I used to.

Yeah, I do that too. I can be kind of a homebody at times, that's for sure

[catnapper]

Nah, especially when I don't like them either. Its ok to not like people and not be liked back.

I used to think everyone had to like me. I used to go out of my way to make everyone like me. You know what? That took a LOT of energy and the people who disliked me never really came around to seeing what a great person I am. It probably just bugged them more that I wouldn't let them just dislike me in peace.

It bothers me when they won't talk or explain to me WHY they don't like me or what I did to cause them dislike, if that makes any sense. For example, if I do or say something that offends them or makes them upset to the sense that they don't like me or, online, block me, its hard for me because I don't know what I DID to know how to fix the problem or what to avoid in the future so I don't upset others as well.

But in most cases I won't lie -- yes, it upsets me at first, but then I get over it. Because I have friends and family who all love me for who and what I am, mistakes and all. And their opinions are the only ones that matter to me, so why care what anyone else thinks??

It depends. If its someone I like and/or respect then it bothers me, especially if I think they are reading me wrong. If I don't respect/like them then it doesn't bother me.

Usually I find it curious, but then don't care. I am who I am. If you do not like me, that is your problem, not mine!

I feel the same way, although it does bother me for that very reason (I would like to fix me so I don't upset others) it still doesn't bother me too much.

[ramanth]

It would of bothered me but it doesn't anymore. If a stranger, acquaintence, or co-worker doesn't like me, no big deal.

However, if a family member or one of my close friends suddenly didn't like me anymore, I'd be bothered.

That's basically how I feel about it too. For the most part I really don't care if people like me or not. I am who I am.

I don't talk too much and often people think I don't like them because I don't talk much.

[gemini9961]

It doesn't bother me really. I have far better things to concern myself with than who doesn't like me.

[Queen of Poop]

It used to really bother me, sometimes it still does, but that really eats up too much energy. I figure that my fur babies know me the best and love me alot so what people think of me, people who don't actually know me, doesn't matter.

[luvofallhorses]

It depends on the person. If it's someone I want to get to know and be friends with, then yes it does!
