Do people really like you?

Post Reply New Topic

How do you know if your friends really like you, or if they only tolerate you because they feel sorry for you and/or are worried about getting judged if they told you to get lost?

I'd say most of my friends like me more than I usually do.

I think my only friend is forcing herself to like me since she feels bad for pitying me. I don't take it personal though, i've long since got used to being pitied.

I think some people really like me but sometimes I think people dont like me. I am definitely weird. I apparently do make people feel uncomfortable

I don't know. There is some people who I felt they liked me because I start to feel they just tolerate out of pity, because they never really seem interest in keeping a deeper contact or invite me to things but if I met them by chance, they will be polite and even if I miss several classes or something, they will sometimes ask me if I'm fine.

I have no friends.
Sure, people at work are polite and kind, but that's got nothing to do with really liking someone.
So, no.

I never move beyond the acquaintanceship stage with people. They quickly figure out that I don't fit in and they avoid interacting with me at all costs. Some might do the hi how are you deal because they feel obligated to and it never goes beyond that.

Same situation for me.

I think they do, because I'm an easy person to get on with and I know I'm eccentric and can be forgetful or slow sometimes but I'm not weird enough to turn people away. In fact I usually make people laugh, and I hardly ever argue with people.

I have AS, ADHD and anxiety, but I'm still down to earth and not seen as "someone with issues". I've learnt that one at work, because there's this girl there in her twenties who makes me feel normal. She's definitely not on the spectrum, but she does have emotional issues. She even admitted she has anger issues, and she kind of takes over the crowd and is quite immature and always yells out her thoughts. She is glued to her phone, I know most young people are these days but she is literally staring at her phone so much it's a wonder she gets any work done. She swears all the time, and doesn't seem to have much respect for herself nor for others really (although she's not a nasty person). She's even had her baby taken away from her, and she had to stop driving lessons because she couldn't cope. I think I'm much more easier to be around than she is, plus I listen to people and I'm friendly and I don't speak out all my thoughts only if it's appropriate, and I don't go on about myself like she does.

I think I'll rather be me than her.

You don't often find that out until you have to call one of them for something. This goes for NT to NT friendships as well. Lots of fakes out there. NT's get burned too.

If your friends initiate interaction with you as often as vice versa


They could just be humoring you

there's no way of knowing.

ain't got no precious lil "friends".

Short guy says it so well
