Why do people dislike you?

[AmpedSilence]

Very dry sense of humor and deadpan delivery, people can't tell when I'm joking or being sarcastic. I have a bit of a dirty mouth, which my wife says is odd for someone with a master's degree, but she forgets who raised me and how many years I spent in the military.

I know I'm good-looking (because my wife and my mom tell me so) but I still think of myself as the slightly dorky 14 year old freshman with acne and funny hair so my self-deprecating comments are not seen as self-deprecating. . . goes back to my dry sense of humor and deadpan delivery.

I'm actually pretty well liked, I just rub some people the wrong way.

 

[Eric Perry]

I'm introverted and shy in unfamiliar social settings. Some people perceive that as being aloof or arrogant by avoidance.

 

[Bloodhammer]

Everyone loves me.

I've got a heart like a graveyard. People are dying to get in.

Because I'm blunt and not particularly friendly until someone earns my respect. I also am not afraid to give idiots a verbal beating, and considering how many stupid people are in the world, this doesn't earn me a whole lot of fans. I've got a sarcastic, dry sense of humor and sometimes people think I'm being serious when it's tongue in cheek (this happens most often online because typed words don't convey tone very well). I have an INTP personality, so I realize I come across as arrogant or detached quite often when I'm simply off in my own thoughts and not paying attention.

But the friends I do have I'm very loyal and generous to.

Were we seperated at birth,, scary similiar.

 

[Thrust Meatnozl]

Who doesn't like me???? I don't understand the question...

 

[chuck norriss]

Laconic, + no filter, interpreted as brutally honest or I don't give a crap so I'm told.
Funny thread

 

[bassteban]

Bad breath. I cultivate it because I like my privacy

 

[superblues]

I lack self-awareness.

 

[WildWes]

As an instructor, I've had students state via evaluations that I can be sarcastic, unapproachable, patronizing, arrogant, condescending and intimidating.

Apparently, I've been known to hurt student feelings,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but I always get over it.

 

[KGarrett]

Folks have told me I take people too literally. When they fail at the English language, there can be misunderstandings :\

 

[Epitaph04]

We must be triplets! Minus the "friends" part...still not quite sure what those are..

You just described me.

 

[tplyons]

Because I'm overworked and can't deliver everything on time every time.

 

[neo 7]

Because I eat my boogers

 

[MegaSwing]

Because I eat my boogers

I feed mine to the neighbor's dog.

 

[placedesjardins]

Generally speaking, why do people dislike you? Among my various detractors some would say I ask too many questions , while others would say I am cold and aloof.

People don't like me???
























I'm a monster.

 

[lbanks]

Gas, I think.

 

[placedesjardins]

Because I eat my boogers

Man, that answer was so wrong. But so right.

 

[datsaxguy]

I say what's on my mind.
I tell the truth, which some people don't like - even though they asked me to be truthful.

Most people want u to agree with them and find it hard to value the opinions of others when it differs. Sprinkle that in with a little pride and a lot of self deception. It's a recipe for interpersonal disaster. If ur the slight bit comfortable in your own skin it can make others channel there personal anger at u because of their own issues.

I could list a million reasons like, racism, lookism, sexism, classism, ism ism etc. (my made up vocab btw) about why I'm not liked. But the main reason is, I TRULY don't care about others opinions of me (except for a small important circle). I actually dare to be my true self, and pursue my purpose and don't let others waste my time. It's way of the norm. It generally drives other people crazy. For this crime, I'm serving a life sentence.

BTW - recreational musicians posing as wanna be professionals who don't practice and don't play well and have expensive gear usually hate my guts.

 

[The Owl]

Why some folks don't like me:

I have definite opinions on certain matters

I despise BOTH political parties equally

Can't stand ANYTHING Top-40 or radio hits in general

Dislike The Stones, Bruce, Tool and obsessive Rush fanboys

Have ZERO tolerance for intentionally stupid jackass behavior at ANY age, especially middle age

I don't hang out in bars and chase skirts

That I can create WITHOUT the aid of drugs.

That I think "shredding" is complete, vacuous BS

That I don;t follow sports and AVOID watching the Super Bowl at all costs.

Think that covers it

Oh, here's a real *** one, I once got SCREAMED AT for liking Monty Python, no joke.
