Lots of times I feel like I'm disliked and, at times, I don't know why. I try to be as nice as I could. I think about why does it seem like I'm not well liked at where I live and the church I go to. It's not as much of a problem at my job than at the other two places.

I got an email from an old friend that I went to college with. He told me about an ex-friend of mine. My friend still keeps in touch with my ex-friend. It upsets me when he talks about him. My ex-friend decided that he didn't want anything to do with me; and I never knew why. That was over 30 years ago.

About a few years ago I had a very good friend that lived next door to me. When I first met him, I was not crazy about him. But then I got to know him better and liked him a lot more. One time he told me that people in general do not like him. In some ways I could understand that. But he was like a soul mate to me. But then he moved away and ended living in houses where a lot of renters lived. He started to make friends and met a woman who ended up being his girlfriend. He was doing much better socially, and then I didn't like him anymore. He had changed. He seemed much better when he didn't have much going for him. I guess that's the way it really is.
