Why Do People Hate Me?

[DaisyD63976]

I know this is a depressing question, but what is it about me that people hate?
I'm often avoided or glanced over when it comes to my daily life, but I don't know why that is. I'm a fairly Normal person. My favourite animal is cats, my favourite band Is Slipknot, my favourite colour is dark purple, I like to listen to music, read and collect things. I'm really normal, if not boring.. So why do people dislike me?

Is it because your imaginary friends are telling other people about your sexuality uncertainties?

[kvalidir]

I doubt they do Daisy. It sounds t me as if you anticipate people not liking you so retreat into a world with your imaginary friends which might come off to other people in the real world as standoffish and so actually it sort of fulfils it's own prophecy. chill out, assume people will like you, chat to people. compliment them on things that are nice and generally try not to worry too much or try too hard. Slipknot are awesome btw- nice taste in music:)

[DaisyD63976]

I might be over thinking things. I recently moved so yeah.. Also thanks, I know it's cliche to say, but Slipknot have helped me through hard times :)

Daisy, The best bit of advice I had when I was a teenager who also thought everyone was looking me was this: think of 5 people you saw yesterday and describe their T-shirt or top. Can you do it? I couldn't and neither could most people. The Theory? No-one takes as much notice of the people around you as you may think. Everyone looks at people day to day. People avoid people unintentionally day to day. That's just what people do and how they behave. Most people can be looking at someone and thinking about what's for tea later, how they are going to pay such and such bill, or what time they have to pick up their kids from school, not everyone is looking at you and thinking about you.
Try smiling at people if they stare, they may not even realise they are doing it. Relax.

I think you are- give people a chance and just be friendly towards them. It's hard being new anywhere, just relax and give it some time.

I just realised I've asked 3 depressing questions today... Sorry for bothering everyone

[pastafreak]

I doubt anyone hates you. If you are new in your school,others need to get to know you...and teens do not always find making new friends an easy thing to do. Be patient,be yourself...and make an effort to make one or two real friends.

[DaisyD63976]

I only had 2 real friends in my last school anyway

That's what AB is for Daisy - getting someone else's point of view. if you are having one of those days, have a natter on here, just take every answer with a pinch of salt and if you start getting annoyed at the answers, just walk away. Welcome to Answerbank :o)

/I just realised I've asked 3 depressing questions today...sorry/

Not at all

I think we're all waiting to see what you come up with tomorrow

[DaisyD63976]

Haha. I guess I'm the story teller

[kvalidir]

IMHO you shouldn't have more than a handful of close friends anyway, people who have hundreds of friends actually usually have none if the *** hits the fan, they're just casual acquaintances who vanish into the ether. I have 4 closeish friends and really only 2 who might lay down their lives for me, and that's how it should be. Be friendly to everyone and sociable but don't expect it to turn into a deep relationship with them all because that's not how people gel.

[pastafreak]

Its not the number of friends...its how good they are. More is not better.

[DaisyD63976]

I guess your right? But I easily get extremely lonely, and not having them here isn't helping

[Zeuhl]

/Haha. I guess I'm the story teller /

HaHa

I guess you are, you little rascal

[Peter Pedant]

you are asking complete strangers ( that would be us on AB )
why people ( you say ) hate you

in all honesty we dont know the answer.....

[DaisyD63976]

I just realised I haven't thought of any of my imaginary friends in a few hours :D. Obviously, me saying this had brought them back, but thanks for taking my mind of things for a bit guys :)

[Zeuhl]

Perhaps we are imaginary too?
