    I've no idea if people don't like me. The ones who matter do.
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    I have disliked some people in my life, and there a handful that I still dislike, so I would imagine an equal amount of people dislike me.

    I don't have anything to do with the people I dislike, so all or most of the people in my life now should like me. It would be awful to find that I liked someone a lot and they disliked me. LOL. :D

    I seem to have awoken in a strange world that is not my own.

    I'm going for a wander in the wardrobe for a moment... I've been led to believe that might fix things.

    Been munching funny mushrooms Tropez? :D

    I didn't think I had been but there's all sorts of crazy people here proclaiming green wine gums to be some sort of magical delicacy when everyone knows that they were only added to the bags to deter overeating.

    The walk through the wardrobe didn't help much either. I got a coat hanger stuck up my nose and trod on a pair of upturned heels.

    I love green wine gums and jelly babies. I haven't had either for YEARS, maybe, twelve years?

    Um, fair few people dislike me. And that's ok, its their prerogative. I dislike a few people, and that's ok too. I'd rather be civil and courteous about it and feel ashamed when I haven't been, but I feel I should be able to both be civil and not dishonest about situations.

    I don't feel I need to like every one, or be liked by every one, so long as I'm not painting myself into a corner where I'm only able to see the world in one way because I've surrounded myself with people who view things very similarly to how I do. I like that my social circle includes people of different political persuasions, backgrounds, outlooks, ambitions, ideals and jobs.

    So does my antisocial circle I think!

    I don't give a stuff if people don't like me. That's their problem, not mine.

    There are people i don't like. I keep it to myself, they're not worth bothering with.

    I just like any sweets! Especially any Haribo and Kinder range.

    I am sometimes worried when my closest friends are suddenly short with me. Usually it's just because they have other worries, but I still sometimes think if I said something wrong. Basically I worry if someone I like and admire dislikes me.
    Otherwise-no. I used to, but I certainly care less the older I get.

    I love the Dowager Countess's take on it (Downton Abbey).

    "Doesn't everyone have friends that they don't like?!"

    I've lost two friendships over the last 5 years. One pal dropped me when I challenged her about financially using me (thus proving that she cultivates friendships for her own benefit) and the other I dropped when they sent me a text criticising my behaviour at their dinner party, saying I'd spoiled the night for them by talking about myself.

    But mainly they just shrink for mundane reasons, not bothering to keep in touch. I used to actively and regularly schedule social events for my friends who live further away, research art exhibitions and days out in the park with their kids that I'd thought they'd enjoy, suggest events at the Edinburgh festival, gigs,etc, and do my best to travel to them because of their work or family commitments.

    I aimed to make sure I kept in touch with my long term friends and see them at least once a year but then grew tired by their failure to reciprocate or continually postponing meeting up. I now rarely make the effort and I think I'm happy that the links are fading though I'm sure that if we ever did meet up, we would get into step instantly like no time has passed.
