What puts people off you?

Post Reply New Topic

I always stand out as that strange gal but I think others simply put it down to the fact that even those who don't like me, looking for the most appropriate insults, would never put the word "stupid" among them - you know, that popular stereotype of smart but eccentric guys always works. I'm not accepted by people because they get it with ease I don't feel a part of any group and I never act to the advantage of a group I was assigned to. I also don't keep eye contact with others which is perceived as weird. What is more, my opinions tend to be extremely beyond the accepted norm and I never care what my peers could think about me. I don't like talking about that boring stuff like gossip, parties and clothes so people get bored with me very fast.

I've had some ppl approach me and after they get to know me better, I'm left talking to myself. They probably expectected me to say something else. I also find myself not able to carry a "typical" conversation. This really hurts my social life and big fat ego.

I think what people don't like about me is my strange (what they call strange) way of speaking. I also used to have VERY low self-esteem and that attracted bullies and further drove others away. Now that I have a healthy self-esteem, people seem to fear me. When I try to talk to them, which is rare, they try to find some way to end the conversion as soon as possible by making up any excuse they can so they can leave and not talk to me. Oh well, I have the mindset that anyone that doesn't want to talk to me isn't worth talking to. Most days it seems like no one is worth it.
