Theres always that stranger who hates you the moment they notice you. You can see it in their eyes. It can be on the job with someone new, or maybe you were the new guy that day. It can be in church, it can be the nearest apartment So it goes all the way back to the schoolyard: 1. _Trust your intuition;_ dont stay where youre not welcome 2. Avoid the ones who dislike you 3. Dont waste your time being nice to them, mind your own business 4. Sometimes avoidance is impossible... but what happens then is up to you. The only person I cant be at peace with is the one who chooses me for an enemy, from day one 🗡️🛡️

I learned at an early age that people didn't like me. At first I thought it was my skin. What I wore. Where I was born. My accent. Then I realized all types of people don't like me. I began to ignore people, and focuse on myself. I stayed away. When others pushed me away I just took it from there. I focused more on my goals, and I accomplished every one of them without the negativity of anyone. I learned that I didn't need anyone. I'm fine with just one person liking me. It's really nice.

@@sxwrtr918 A lot of people do seem to be terrified of being alone. However, not all are fearful of isolation. I go weeks without seeing humans. I go longer without speaking to humans. I have had no fiends, nor acquaintances since 8 August 2000 at 18:34. It was a life altering adaptation that I believe most can accomplish. However, the adaptation made may be irreversible. Almost every aspect of life changes very radically when one lives alone and rarely sees humans. After a year living in such a different manner, one forgets how to exist in a herd. Everything you do is changed drastically. You learn to do things completely alone that you could have never conceived of being able to do without the effort of others. This rewriting of your mental programme is down out of necessity. However, if ever you return to being part of a human herd again, you will not consider asking for assistance from others, giving assistance, nor even be able to socially assimilate the customs and protocols associated with successful interpersonal, social, interactions and bonds. Night shift was to be closed for two weeks because of some sort of equipment exchanging. When the return to working days was offered to me, I thought I would like to meet the day shift coworkers because I work completely alone, at nights, and live in a very rural environment. It had been over a year of isolation. My return to an environment with humans around me was confusing, rather frightening, and they seemed to be more hindering me than being of any aid to me. When given the choice to stay at day shift and to hire a new third tier mechanic to work alone during the night, I demanded to return to the isolation I had grown so accustomed to living and working. I have no knowledge on how to be social, have friends, nor meet candidates for friendship. The rare times I see humans, it a night clerk, or two, in the region's only all night petrol station and grocery store. One can become self sabotagingly independent, self-reliant, and adapted to being alone and never recover.

I realised as a child I don't fit into most groups... Of course I had some friends (not many) and people who loved me as I'm, but most of the time I had a hard time to fit in.

BINGO!! I agree 100 percent. I had a friend and she was calling me 3x a day. I never had a friendship like that before and it was odd. I wasn't used to the attention. But then it was fun. We did everything together, travel, concerts, dinner, etc. Then for some reason unknown to me, she started avoided me and only contacting me if she wanted something. I picked up on that and asked her, "Do we need to talk? Did I do something wrong?" She said, "No, you're crazy, everything is cool." And even after that, it was the same thing. She pretended she didn't see my emails. Didn't return calls. THEN when she wanted a favor, I'd hear from her. I finally did "no contact" and stopped emailing and calling. Then she texts that she misses me. I didn't answer because I knew she wanted something. Sure enough, she did want something. I wish she'd get the hint. I now blocked her emails.

[@BeYounique...Maryanne]

@clockworkyokai Yeah, it was a horrifying experience. I'm still baffled. Now we haven't spoken in a few months. I'm secretly relieved, honestly. No more second guessing. I learned from the experience and will now pay attention to the red flags -- because there were many and I always gave her the benefit of the doubt. ... Feel better, though, The world isn't all bad. I'm a good friend and ready to give my friendship to those who are more deserving of me. I've since met two other women who are very cool. They return texts right away. They make plans and keep them. They are kind, interesting, and fun. We're all supportive of each other. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel :)

As for the ones that take a nature likely they see to list things they like about me that is traits they have. Is it really so bad that bad people rather stay away they sense you're not like them makes them uncomfortable. Where even if I can't measure to the great traits of people with good qualities is it an issue that you get to be in their presences over the other types of people

Problem is every time I try to set a boundary - people get angry. Its as though I’m only allowed to exist and be accepted as long as I’m amenable to what everyone else wants. I think people generally assume they are above me in the social hierarchy (which I do believe exists) and so if I express any preferences they think I’m stepping out of line. I’m 51 and really sick of being unable to state what I want without the backlash from people. I might be overstating it but that’s how it feels. I’m always deferring to what everyone else thinks, wants needs.

@@jilliantatum769 I'm in my early 40's myself and I have yet to find any real friends. People just end up using me, trying to take me for a fool, I have also been stolen from. I just keep to myself at the moment. I do suffer with mental health issues, depression and anxiety, as well as manic episodes. So I'm either so depressed I can't bring myself to speak to anyone, or anxious which stops me from going out alot of the time, or I am just manic, make bad decisions, end up spending money that was for bills etc. I have 2 cats and I got a dog a year ago which did help me to get out a bit and sit over the park, as I have mobility issues, I can't walk far because of my back problems and sciatica, but I did meet some dog walkers who always pass me as I'm sitting on the bench throwing toys for my dog to fetch as that's the only way I can exercise her! To be honest getting a dog does make you meet people. I know it's not always right for everyone, as not everyone likes to have pets and dogs can be hard work, but I tell you it's definitely a way to meet decent people as people who like animals are generally nice, not always but mostly. I'm in the UK, where are you from?

I have 3 cats. 2 of them came from the Ukraine a few months before the war started. I am trying to breed them but I had a vet office I used to board them while renovations were happening in the home. So they would be safe. I paid 6000 dollars in boarding fees just to have the place give my babies the worse roundworms infections it took us 2 yrs to get rid of them then the anti diarrhea medicine got in one of the cats eyes so for 8 months they had to wear a cone abd the girl I want to breed is so depressed being away from him she has gone anorexic. She is so skinny I am sooo worried. Going back to the vet fir a third time with her not eating well. Just seems friends or just business acquaintances I can't get no respect. Just like Rodney Dangerfield from the US movie Ladybugs. I am in the US. I want to go to the UK very badly. I am going through the motions of enrolling and getting funding to get into school for a major and minor bachelor degrees so I can get a life I want to live I have healed thousands of people on my career and with Covid hurting my business bc no one here cares of possibly infecting someone else and ruining their life- doing so by the refusal of mask wearing during treatment.

I find that the more honest and true you become, the more people dislike you. Kind of like how many people dislike cats, because they don't bullshit or bend to people and their bullshit. They are true and hide nothing. But other people love cats. Similarly some people hate most animals for the same reason. Because in general animals are more true and open and honest. Unlike people who have a kind of instinct for deception and manipulation that is always on. So you will find that those people who can't handle a true person, also can't handle animals. They feel threatened by both. The other thing I notice is that concerning people who are very popular and who place a large amount of value on that popularity, which you can gauge by their actions and interests and words, they don't take rejection very well. The slightest hint that someone doesn't like them makes an instant enemy. It's as if, all the 99 other people that worship them is not enough to make up for the fact that this one person isn't instantly buying what they're selling. They take it as declaration of war and evil intent. That is what got me thinking that this popularity and status things that is a powerful social instinct in a human being, to be liked and have friends, is just like any other addiction and impulse.

It was painful to see how she ignored me at the dinner table and dismissed what I had to add. It was rare that I have been treated like that during my adult life. I guess I expected this person to act better than that, but what do expectations have to offer? Only more suffering. Accepting the experience and accepting myself has a lot more to offer. It is ok not to be liked.

Oh wow, thank you for sharing this… I’m sorry you experienced that, and power to you for how you’re navigating the situation. ❤

People are weird.... all of them. If somebody dislike you just ignore it. If that person disrespect you - give it back so they don't dare put you down next time. I learned in my life if you are too good to others there will be people who will take it as a sign of weakness.

I had a women friend of 15 yrs, who was funny, & could be charming. Over time, I learned that she actually was jealous of me, & also resented me, bcs we differed on politics. She also felt threatened & insecure bcs I had more education, & had acheived some things she wanted, but didn't have; she turned her children, & others, against me, & made 2 faced "jokes" with a vicious undertone, then "gaslit" me when I calmly confronted her, claiming I was too sensitive, & tried me make me look paranoid. Eventually, I learned about the various kinds of narcissists, & realized what she really was. I gradually dropped her, & am glad I have become more aware. As an empath, I tend to give ppl the benefit of the doubt, & my trusting nature was taken advantage of. I am now alert for the red flags, & quite content with my own company.

Fully agree. I get "youre really intense" a lot. And some people have become great friends from that and weve had wild adventures. Others.....are deeply bothered by it. Took a long time to realize the truths in this video. Thank you 💛

thank you!

Same. I have strong opinions and confidence (born of many years of difficult life experiences.) I've found that people who are insecure don't like me, but those that are self-assured really DO like me. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground - they either like me or hate me. When I was younger, I also felt it had a lot to do with gender, as in, if I were a man I would be viewed as "assertive" "a leader" etc. But as a woman I was "pushy" or worse...

I’ve always described myself as “a bit divisive.” People either love me or hate me. The people who love me say they don’t see why people would hate me. The people who hate me hate me for things that I’m not. (Which is weird bc there are other things that I actually am that they could dislike 😂)

Thank you for such a positive and very much needed video as I spent a lot of my life caring about what people thought of me and including my family. I bent over backwards being a "door-mat" for many years for my family constantly putting my life aside to appease them and when I fell on hard times and needed help, they were nowhere to be found. I no longer care what people think of me and I mind my own business and keep to myself. I believe that KARMA is a real concept and it does come around!! Kudos!!

To many people in the U.S all that matters to them are two issues, 1. that you represent their views and beliefs and if not that, than 2. that you work full time no matter the cost to you nothing else matters to them
