what would someone who doesn't like you say about you?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Then you're not very observant. No one gets along with everyone. There's got to be one person out there that is kind of a jerk that just doesn't like anyone. What did that person not like about you? The other option is that you just never go outside.
I will start paying more attention and see what I see. I also go to a very small
School and am in class with people that I've known for years and have grown up with.
 
I would say that I've been called an dingus, arrogant, a dick. The way I carry myself makes certain people see me as cocky. I say I'm confident.

this reminds me.. weren't you the one who was worked up over people trying to find out your test score or something?

Yes that was me. I ended up Doing well in the class and didn't say anything but she got into trouble.. I guess one of my classmates reported her. She's still teaching this year but she doesn't do that anymore

And it wasn't because people were trying to see my score, but that our exams were in a stack to shift through with our percent grade next to our names circled in red

you'll have to forgive my lapsing memory. if i remember correctly you were worried people would see your grades and talk **** about you

No worries. Yes, I was worried because people can be fake to your face and then talk crap if you score low. But that's not talking crap about YOU but your score. It's not like someone doesn't like you because you did poorly on a test

Maybe I'm mixing up "not liking" with someone hating me. I've never met someone who downright, utterly, completely hates me (at least to my face) but I'm sure if I paid attention I would see people who didn't "like" me. I'm not saying everyone adores me, but I haven't seen any Black Death stares lol

Yeah, that's definitely understandable. Hate is a pretty strong emotion. But then again you can't always tell when someone feels that way... Not saying you aren't a perfect little angel haha. 😉

Hahahaha yes hate is a very strong word haha 🙂 I'm sure there's people who would prefer not to see me though. Just wanted to clarify! Lol

As long as a person has a good personality and doesn't do anything "bad", I doubt anyone will hate them. Dislike is common but I find actually hatred rare.

Yes! That's what I was trying to say haha 🙂

Someone who didn't care for me would say something along the lines of I can act "aloof" sometimes (but it's really that sometimes I can just get really shy until I get to know people)

I don't go outside. Porphyria. I don't like the sun.

I think someone who didn't care for you, and didn't know you (like myself) would agree with those that said you are incredibly narcissistic.

I might be, but this is the internet where people don't know each other but that's fine 🙂

And maybe my thinking people generally don't mind me IS a sign of narcissism, however admitting that and saying I'm going to try and be less oblivious goes against what narcissism completely is. So maybe not. All I mean is that people generally are nice. Sometimes there's someone who isn't very friendly but then I go out of my way to be really nice to them and they either warm up or kind of fade out of my consciousness. But again, if you ask me what I say about myself That is wrong/bad I could go on for ages. If you ask me what someone who doesn't like me would say I would have a hard time because I can't think of anyone. I'm either oblivious, they don't make it apparent, or a little of both.

Being called narcissistic bugs me so I asked this question to several of my friends and classmates today and they all responded like me: "ummm I don't know? I don't really know anyone who has made it clear that they don't like me"

I'd say moreso than self improvement, the main thing is not to shoot yourself in the foot.

I have a nasty temper, I don't play well with others, etc could be a red flag that you tell them yourself. Don't.

Agreed! I didn't say this but I did mention how I'm not the most outgoing and make friends slowly and this apparently got me follow up questions where they asked me questions like
"why do you think you have difficulty making friends"...OMG, that's NOT what I said...haha. Be very careful with these questions...they're not an invitation for self-depreciation. They can and will shoot you in the foot if you're too self-critical. In school, it's often good to be overly-self critical as it sometimes maximizes our performance but in these interviews, it's best to be or act self-confident with a touch of humility.

They would probably say I'm a pretty cocky and arrogant person. Unfortunately, I was 100% guilty of those insults in high school. But I'm trying really hard to change that aspect of my personality now and not be that "type" in college 🙂
 
I would go with honesty here. I can think of an example of someone who had an open distaste for me as a person.

This person disliked me in high school because I was full of myself and very willing to brag about my accomplishments, while belittling the accomplishments of others.
I was accused of being a jerk, and honestly, the accusation had some merit.

I would then go on to talk about how I have grown to learn the error of my ways and develop some humility.

Wow. We are almost alike haha 😛
 
"That kid guns way too hard, always making me look bad nd ****, damn I hate getting bum rushed by that kid on every test!🙁 "
