"nobody likes you"

Post Reply New Topic

I heard that too.
When I was little, no one said it to me, but I thought it, because I was often alone and if other children where there, I didn't know how to play with them.
But later when I was 12, my classmates always said to me: Nobody likes a freak like you.
First it is hurting, but later, I didn't care about it anymore.
When I was 16 and someone told me that, I just said: If you don't like me, then leave me alone.

Plenty of times in school. I hated them in return.

Peculiar in that plenty of NTs will "not like" despite the fact that the particular individual in question is good, kind, smart, and with the best of intentions. Hmmm...begs the question of what do they really value in a friend, yes?

I've met some pretty low individuals (i.e., greedy, selfish, manipulative, etc. - even plain mean) yet they "are liked." Don't you find that weird?

Have heard it a few times when I was younger, it affected me badly, and I never understood why people bother going around disliking anybody for nothing.

Im glad I found out its BS and that the opinions of the people the person refers to (if I hear it again), wont even interest me three-eighths of a millisecond.

Luckily, I never got more than the usual stuff that everybody gets... I was ridiculed an picked on a few times, and I had "enemies", but it was no "Nobody likes you" straight in the face.

But then again, I'm relatively good looking and quite tall (as a child the thought me to be older than I actually was), friendly, and eager to share and help. And I had things to share and knew more than the average child, so I was able to help and explain.
I guess that made up for my strangeness. There were always some people who liked me, and lots of people who were at least indifferent towards me, so it would have been obvious that it wasn't true anyway.

I had to do that. In fifth grade, I read constantly (much to the disdain of my peers), argued frequently (much to the disdain of my teachers), had enthusiasm over things that nobody else had (much to the disdain of most fifth graders), and I was generally annoying as a result of anxiety attacks (much to the disdain of everybody), so I covered it up for survival. I also never tried to talk to anyone or play with anyone unless they were disabled (had more empathy for them than for most people), younger than me, my sister, or if they were adults who understood my interests. The people in my class even yelled at me when I said, "I don't want a job that pays a lot if I'm not helping anyone".

So, yeah, I had to change, but I feel guilty for hiding myself.

People have asked me if I was on drugs before.

People that don't like me are more backhanded and talk behind my back. I would rather be told directly to my face. It makes confronting them much easier. I find it to be cowardly.

yeah...thank you so much for bringing this sentence back , i have more if you want:
you're ugly
say, you don't have a really pretty smile
are you a girl or a boy?
hey, monster!
why do you walk like this?
if i want a dog to follow me around, i will buy one
go play with your imaginary friends

do you cut your hair yourself?
i could go on and on and on
