If people knew you... would they like you

[KiaKaha]

Another one of my weird threads..

Seeing as its so hard for so many of us to relate and get to know others, I was just wondering that if it was possible for others to actually know who you REALLY were and had memorable experiences with you, would you be liked by others..? Would they want to be around you, and be pleased to see you when you were about. Chances are most people would be I think, but there are so many games you have to play that it makes it so hard for people to see what kind of person most people really are..

Despite SA or any other kind of problem that makes it difficult to deal with others, do you consider yourself a likable person..?

I don't know me yet so i have no idea

 

[awkwardamanda]

I have no idea. I've never felt like a likable person, but then it never gets to a point where people know me well enough to like me. I think most people I know are just neutral towards me. I remember a time when I felt like most people hated me. Once I really thought about it, I realized it was more that most people just didn't know me and were indifferent. I think most people would find me boring. I don't have a lot of hobbies and interests, and the things I do enjoy aren't what a lot of people are into I guess. I wish I could get to know people I have more in common with. I think that's partly why I've drifted apart from any friend I've ever had. I haven't found the right friends. I haven't quite clicked with anyone yet. It would be nice. Maybe certain types of people would find me likable, anyway. But the majority of people, I doubt it.

I highly doubt it

People who gets to know me usually tries to spend more time with me so I guess the answer is yes, at least sometimes.
As long as they don't know me deep enough to figure out how f***ed up I really am.

 

[Forgotten-Children]

Only younger people seem to like me only because I act like an older sister, but other than that, not many people around my age liked me during school so...

 

[zav943]

No...I don't think I am. I haven't had a friend in YEARS. I can't remember the last time anyone ever went out of their way to spend time with me...I wish I understood why. It's not like I'm a douchebag or that I'm dull or anything. I am just plain unlikeable, period. It's a curse.

Good thread. I'm finger-frozen in my thoughts...

I suppose it depends on the chemistry you have with the person(s) involved.
For the most part, people who know me like me.
On the other hand, I have made my fair share of enemies.

 

[Kiwong]

Yes, some people have got to know me and like me, at least the better parts of me, but not so much in real life. I am much harder to know in person, because I fear people will not see beyond my anxiety. When people start to show they like me I get scared and worry I can do to stop liking me.

People usually see a very small part of me. Even family. So they see a particular part and make their own quick conclusions. There's a small group of real life friends I have that have known me for over a decade. These understand me better than most and for the most part, they are alright with me.

I've never met anyone who wasn't eventually repulsed by the sight of me
