Ashley S Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I am not trying to sound conceited, I'm sorry if it comes off that way. I am not basing "everyone likes me" off of my personal opinion, it's what people to say to me. I am very depressed. I have been for the past two years. I am nice to people, but I am more quiet. However, people are always saying to me "so and so likes you a lot", "everyone likes you". I don't get how though? I thought that when you're depressed people can feel your negativity. I do hide it, but I wouldn't say I hide it well. This may seem like a weird question, lol, but why do people like me? Why am I always hearing that? I always have people cling onto to me too. Like I said, I am nice, but I don't what is so exceptional though? This is a serious post, please don't think I am looking for attention or I am joking around. I am really curious about this because I am a depressed, troubled person. I don't know if it is a certain energy a person gives off that makes people drawn to them? Or something else? Please comment Thank you.
Clarence_Boddicker Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Are you a kind hearted, nice person? People can sense that. 1
amaysngrace Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 They say that because you offer understanding and acceptance maybe and don't judge? Or maybe it's because they really don't have a reason not to like you.
Gloria25 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I don't know, I try hard to be a hard arse, but people see through it I guess? I'm also quite Krazy. So, a lot of people are surprised when they see "the other side of me" I mean, I think I'm too nice...to the point where either people gravitate towards me or people wanna take advantage of me. I mean, like at one job, the older lady didn't trust anyone to take her calls while she was on break except me. If I'm standing on the street corner or walking, random people will stop and ask me the time, directions, etc and I'm like "why me?" At different jobs, customers give me a hard time while other peers tell them to f-off. I've had people thank me for taking time to explain, listen, etc. I understand the pressure that puts on you. I mean, I think I am a nice person and help others and all that nice stuff - but, it's like you don't want them to ever see you in your weak/bad times. I am not well with compliments either. I just wanna do nice things and not be recognized. I'm a "behind the scenes" type person. Try not to take it as a bad thing that people see the good in you. Also, take pride in the fact that while you have your struggles - you are able to still contribute to the happiness of others. I feel bad when I frown on purpose - cuz I want others to see times I am angry and/or in pain. I've read stories of people who no matter how much crap they were going through - they always had a smile on their face and I pray that one day I can be that person. There's a big difference walking down the street with a frown vs a smile.
regine_phalange Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I like you as a forum user because you give off a good person vibe! I don't know you of course, but that's what you give off.
