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

It is like so many others say: the feeling softens by age!
But in fact I still feel so bad when I feel that someone does NOT like me; the problem is that I always wonder why exactly they dislike me. Is it my appearance? Is it my character?? I am a loving person and very easygoing, and I hate it to be "not loved" without any reason

Like many others, it used to really bother me when I was a teenager, but I'm not bothered so much about it now.
I don't need someone in my life that will judge me before they even know me.

It bothers me, badly, and I am 43 years old. I guess it always will.

I couldn't really care less...

I mean if I know someone doesn't like me it doesn't really bother me. But I still try to act nice to them. They leave me alone and I will leave them alone. I have best friends that are friends with people who dislike me but it's not a big deal as long as my best friends respect that. There is some people I dislike to so it's not a big deal.

I wouldn't ever want to change just so someone would like me! I'm me and I'm staying that way!!

Good Idea for a thread BTW...

Now that I've staggered to 40 I realise that as long as I like me then it doesn't really matter.... I cherish the friends I have (real and cyber!) and am civil to those who don't like me........

Wow thanks for all of the responses guys! I really do think it has to do with age - when I was a teenager it bothered me lots. But I'm getting to the point now where I just don't care, even if I don't know why, and I concentrate on those people that matter in my life.

It depends on who the person is. If it's someone I look up to and like, then yes it bothers me. But, if it's someone who annoys me and is rude to me, then no... It doesn't bother me that they don't like me, I'd just rather not associate with them.
