I guess my problem with the article was that the tone implied that most of these people weren't justified in not liking you, or that it was some natural effect of a bad situation, rather than something caused by your own actions.
- frossie 17y agoI don't mean to put the boot in too much, but what comes across is not just lack of empathy but lack of self-knowledge. The fact that the OP has to think why people don't like him strikes me as... troubling. This is not a personal comment on the OP - everybody has people who don't like them (hey, some of us more than others) - but if you really don't know at this stage in your life what it is you do that puts those who dislike you off, I suggest you collar some of your good friends and ask them straight up, because you really need a hint. Note: I am not suggesting that one has to "fix" things other people dislike; every (sane) character trait is a trade-off between good points and bad points. But one should be aware what they are.
- DanielBMarkham 17y agomy problem with the article was that the tone implied that most of these people weren't justified in not liking you, or that it was some natural effect of a bad situation, rather than something caused by your own actions. The tone was due to a hurried write, as was the ham-fisted nature. Of course from their end these people were completely justified in not liking me. But also of course from my side it looks unjustified. How else could it look? From my angle, just like them, I've been acting rationally and with good intentions all along.
