Why not me?

The guy who likes everyone and is super friendly and talks to everyone? I'm the exception, and it kills me. Why not? What's wrong with me? What did I do? I have very low self esteem, generally, and this just fills me with doubts.

@Tiikeri101

Do you ever talk to someone, and, they never make eye contact with ya, at all?

Tiikeri101, it's definitely a lonely world.

@CarpetLovesU I understand that it may feel that way but most of the time it has nothing to do with you personally. Everyone has something and they may be going through a tough situation. It can also be a difference in culture or they just find it awkward to look someone in the eye.

I prefer to have eye contact because I was taught it was respectful and shows that people are listening but its not the same for everybody. I wouldn't take it personal.

I would say just continue to be kind to that person. You just may be the one that brings them out of a terrible state of mind, if that is the case.

Your response was, and is, genius. I now feel as if those past situations, can clear up.

Thank you so much.

@Tiikeri101 I know words can only do so much, but I hope mine help.

Its important to remember and pay attention to the people who do care about you and talk to you. There's always going to be people that just don't like you, maybe for something you did or maybe just because you remind them of a part of themselves they don't like, sometimes even for no real reason just cause they're bitter. Whatever the reason you gotta know it doesn't concern you. You should focus your attention and energy on the people beside you, not the people moving away from you.

And hey, if you ever need a friend, you have it in me. :)

Hey there!

I can undertsand how we can tend to feel that at times but you must remember you're beautiful in your way! There are gonna be many many more situations where you might identify yourself with the situation, in the sense start thinking maybe you're not enough or good. But these are just your thoughts not who you really are, it's your mind trying to manipulate things. Distance yourself from these thoughts! I hope you're doing well... <3

Hey! Don't be so hard on yourself, there's always going to be people who don't like you but what matters is the people that like and love you <3 :) Don't worry about the haters:) He just doesn't know how nice of a person he is missing out on and he will regret it one day:) Some people are just really judgemental and that's not your fault---that's their problem:)
