People don't like me. I mean basically everybody. I am unattractive and have very poor self esteem. I'm in my late 30's and haven't had a friend in over a decade. I try to be amiable but somehow rub everyone the wrong way. I have a million nervous ticks I can't seem to shake which do not help. I have strong difficulty holding eye contact. My small talk skills are abysmal. I've read plenty of research on how to make friends by getting people to talk about themselves, but it never works for me. Any questions I ask are met with one word attempts to end the conversation asap. I've been called creepy, smug, mad, and unfriendly by people who do not know me at all. I try to overcome these perceptions but always come across as insincere. My smile is atrociously awkward and forced. I just don't know how to be a likable person; my DNA seems to be hard coded against it. | |
