When I say people don't like me, I mean the very large majority of people. Those who like me also eventually turn their backs on me, too. I can say for the most part that I no longer deal with depression, and I'm not getting too upset over this. However, it's affecting my life, and I just want answers.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I still feel no closer to the truth than years ago. People often just flat out get angry at me, are happy to take their anger out on me, don't like and even act disgusted when I try to befriend them, and casually ignore me. I know what you may be thinking: oh, I must be a really terrible person to be treated this way. However, I don't think that's the case here. People often tell me how sweet and polite I am. I smile often and more often than not make the first move to talk to someone. It still makes little difference.

I've been telling myself it's all in my head for a very long time, but I think it's time for me to stop and face reality. I feel like there's some unspoken code that everyone except me knows.

Some hints might be that I'm called, "weird," I'm not materialistic, I don't gossip or judge people on petty things, people say I'm intelligent and mature, I'm admittedly more paranoid than the average person when it comes to certain things, and I'm shy.

Thank you for your time reading this.
