How to cope with being unlikeable

Ratty43

I to think that no one likes me apart from my Family. But that's not enough as I would like none family members to like me . Since my Dad passed away I no longer go out so am stuck in every evening and weekends . I find it hard to communicate to people.

Ive not read all the replies, but must say to the OP, don't worry bout it, im 45 and still unpopular, take a look at my threads and im arguing with lots of people.

We are all different people, we all have opinions and we always think our opinions are right, hey we are human beings after all with lots of fault and defects.

In the workplace we are thrown together with people we would not normally be friends with or even like. I have worked for the NHS for 23 years and still do not have a friend I could rely upon in a time of extreme need. We work with these people and often spend more time with them than our families. Im not here to make friends im here to work and get through my days as easy as possible. At the end of the day im married to a woman I met when I was 15, been married since 1989 so cant be that bad! Who gives a chit what people think of us cause I don't, yes we all like to be loved but thats at home time for me and in my home with my mrs. I have a smashing grandson so smiles like a wrongun when he sees me so he loves me and thats all im bothered about.

Bollucks to people who go around with their noses up in the air, their chit still smells like mine! The people who care are there in front of your nose, they are called family. The true friends of yours would wipe your !!!! if you had 2 broken hands. Who needs friends anyway?they cost too much!
