I’m pretty sure that my in laws don’t like me. Sometimes they talk to me like a human being other times they try to turn my partner against me like a few days ago.
personally, i honestly don’t care if they do or don’t
" I AM AWESOME, I AM SITH ".
the crowds applaud the sith, master of all 
take care

LOL, that sounds like a episode of Seinfeld.
I put maybe because I would rather be left alone and have spent year’s cultivating my outward persona to reflect that .
Not that I don’t want people to like me I would rather they dont notice me .

I don’t think people like me. A lot of times its me thinking they’re thinking negative thoughts about me so I become extremely quiet and distant. I tend to alienate myself from people because I don’t like the negative thoughts that pop in my head when I’m around people.
I know at 33 I shouldn’t really care if people like me or not, but a lot of this comes from childhood as being the one who was teased a lot, (up until about 7th grade I was taller than most of my class including the guys, and I was a little pudgy not really good at anything in particular) and it hurt deeper than I was willing to admit at the time it happened. Now I crave for acceptance, but the catch 23 is I rarely accept other people in my life so freely the thing is I know that I need to accept others before they can accept me…but that is something I haven’t figured out how to do.
Even as an adult I have issues holding onto people, especially those I feel take advantage of me. I got mad at a group in college I thought was letting me in with their group until I realized how much stuff they did with each other and never asked me…including eating lunch with out me when they ate in the lunch room we almost always sat together but sometimes they’d go out and not invite me. Then at work another group was like that. They would want me to to sit with them at lunch and be apart of the group, but then they started sharing lunches and asking each other to bring this or that and never would include me so I always felt the odd one out sitting and eating my own lunch while the group ate together. Then they’d sit together during work and whisper among themselves but never asked me to come over. Sometimes I thought they were talking about me, looking in my direction and whispering.
Then online even I was apart of a creative group that use to make “tags” which where basically pictures with words and clip art…and the leader was asking for help so I gave it to her but she felt I was taking over the group and made me feel so uncomfortable in the group which caused me to leave…it was just a stupid group on MSN anyway, but I used to like it because it gave me an out for my creativity, but there’s a pattern I see…I just don’t know how to break that pattern.
I’m so sorry. I experience a lot of this same kind of thing all my life too. I’m still trying to figure out how to “break the pattern”. Although it got easier as I got older and learned coping skills.
Learn what your triggers are, and avoid them. Read about your diagnosis and find out how to take care of yourself.
Read: “Winning Against Relapse” by Mary Ellen Copeland,
And, by the way, you care whether or not people like you your whole life long.
Over all the years i realise it is a dangerous area which i need to steer clear of. I find it extremely hard to deal with other people on any level, and have spent most of that time worrying about how i am coming across. I’m done with that now. Let them worry if you like them…

Sorry that your feeling this way,I had somewhat a similiar thinking pattern as yours…in my head sometimesI feel people were thinking negative thoughts about me,this cause me to be distant to people and I had to my myself a little “fake” “uncomfortable” to at least fight off the feeling
I guess it might be part of my unhappy childhood,bullying,separating from guardian and some abuse by my tutor
I think someone mentioned self esteem. I think that has a lot to do with it. For me the bullying and teasing due to being physically/socially awkward didn’t help . Neither did the fact I was bad at sports . Another reason to be ostracised and be unpopular.
I was unpopular both at prep and at public school. As an adult as as a child/teenager there have been immense difficulties making friends. The truth is IRL people don’t like me that much.
You hear of people often continuing contact with each other off forum. That’s happened to me a few times but sooner rather than later contact invariably breaks down. Even if people like me initially they rather quickly get fed up with me.

Whats not to like?
I really don’t know. My husband tells me a lot of people in his family are probably jealous of me because I married him and he’s got a lot of money, and I am tall and slender like a model, and I am white, not Indian like him and his family. So maybe not. But I feel confident my friends like me

I think I am disliked by many people, especially the superficially intelligent of the neurotypical variety.
I don’t think so but usually don’t’ care. was teased in high school. on my job, my co-worker says how much she misses the person that I replaced.

Yeah but they have a good reason for not liking you.
One of my colleague really put faith in me but I was always distrust of him due to my illness I think
I think people like me at first,then when they start to know me they will think I am boring.It sucks to be not interesting,maybe sharing my illness to people who didn’t know might interest them in a way
More confused when people do like me. Just feel an easy target. So think there is an alternative motive and usually is.
So do the aliens and vampires out to get you my friend.
Voted Yes , I get on well with nearly everyone . there are some I just clash with , a personality clash. In cases such as these , I generally just avoid them , if I have to communicate I try to keep it light.
Also I just generally try to make a life for myself , that’s my focus , rather than worrying if this one or that one likes me.
I know …im a freaking jerk but im working on it thanks for the heads up.
