its because you want them to accept you, dont care if someone doesnt like you or if they leave because it happens, dont try to make them comfortable around you either because they might see that your trying to do that and then not feel comfortable, just be yourself

You know what?  You might be doing what I did a few years ago.  Unknowingly, habitually, putting off a judgmental aire.  Maybe it's a defense mechanism, maybe you really don't like many people.  I sure don't sometimes.  Whatever it is, I'll tell you this, if you make a concerted effort to put yourself out there, be willing to talk to anyone that talks to you, always use humor, find something interesting about everyone--because everyone has something, and loosen up, then people will flow your way.\n\nAbout 10 years ago, a little after college, I thought, man, what I'm doing ain't working.  So I thought, try pretending to be someone else, someone not shy, awkward or stand-offish.  In other words, if that's what gets you jump-started to opening up to new situations, people and things, then do it.  Go to different places than you usually do, take some fun class at a community college, or recreation center, volunteer somewhere.  Who cares--just take yourself out of your normal patterns, shake things up a bit!!  It'll be fun and you'll see it's worth it when people are drawn to you.  And the people you first meet might not be the great friends of your future, but everyone has an effect on everyone else and they may lead you to the place and people made for you!\n\nSince I tried it, I got 4 new, life-long friends and a husband and 2 cutie-pie little kids!  Worked for me!!\n\nMuch luck!!

Anybody but me would be fine with me right now as I'm useless anyway. Thats the way my friends treat me, so what the hell. I'd be better off being anyone else.......or just fade away.........

You can't GET them to like you.  You have to be yourself.  If\nthey don't like you, it may be just because they think you are trying to take the place of mate's mate.  Just be yourself.

just be really nice to them, and show them that you care about them. but dont overwelm them, or they will think your a little nuts. Just be kind and generous, and they will have no reason NOT to like you. Take it from there. When you get to that spot, come to me.

There is probably nothing wrong with you. How old are you anyway??? Maybe you need to be a little more open, but just being yourself and trying to be nice and friendly to people, might help...

Sounds to me like you suffer from low self esteem.  You don't think you're good enough for other people to like you, so you are worried that they won't.  You are so obsessed with what they think of you, that you aren't even paying attention to them.  So, they probably won't like you...no one likes to be ignored when they are talking, which will only make your problem worse.\n\nIf you want to get comfortable with someone, you have to get to know them.  The best way to do this is to get them talking about themselves.   Listen to what they say.  Respond to them.\n\nNerves can be bad, but there is no magic pill that will fix what your problem is.  Only practice can help.  Don't worry about what the other person thinks about you. The worse that can happen is they won't be interested and you move on.  Try not to pressure yourself and try to relax and be yourself.  Girls aren't looking for un-nervous guys, we're looking for guys that pay attention to us.

maybe your personality/look just isn't compatible with the people you are surrounded by. i dunno i think that's my problem. everyone here hates me or treats me bad but people i meet from the other side of the country are nice and interesting. i'm definitely moving one of these days.

There is no one answer to this question.  Everyone has their own tastes and interests and finds people who are similar to themselves or different from themselves attractive.  Just be yourself and talk to lots of different people until you find someone who likes you for who you are.

I like you! I think it's too bad you have to worry about your face. People should like you any way you are. We all have imperfections, some are just hidden.

i used to be like that.so i know exactly what ur talking about.i decided one day to just snap out of it.and i decided that if they dont like me for who i am then their not the one for me.just be urself and if they dont like that then thats their problem,cause there is no point in acting like someone else.if u can be urself around friends and family.why not them?good luck and hope it works out.

RIGHT HERE! I have ONE female friend. And because I have a boyfriend AND a job I have one male friend....my boyfriend. Girl its been like that for me since the seventh grade. Girls for whatever reason do not like me. I dont know why either. I'm the nicest person I know for real. I try to talk to females but they just dont like me for some reason. It drives me crazy!

I think most people feel the same way you do.  I always find that carefully listening to people & then asking them questions about themselves is a great way to start a conversation. Most people like to talk about their likes, dislikes, etc. & just need an invitation to do so.

If someone doesn't like you, there isn't much you can do. There are plenty of other people, dont waste your time on one that doesnt like you.

The really question is why do you need a boyfriend?  If you don't like yourself then no one else can be expected to like you either.
