[Bathony]

I mean it, nobody likes me. It's not a veiled attantion seeking. I don't expect white lies that everybody likes me. It never mattered how I behaved because I changed my behaviour and it always ends up the same. There's a wonderful café in the city but didn't go there- and I live here since October because I'd feel stupid going there alone and I have no one to accompany me cos no one likes me. I'm the one going out with my mother because no one else wants to spend time with me. Whenever I mention sth connedcted with my studies or science in general, everyone tries to convince me I'm stupid anyway. Years of studying psychology, pedagogics, child's development, language acquisition, methodology of teaching- all that means nothing apparently and I'm deprived of the right to talk about parenting. Everyone rejects my arguments because I'm stupid. Like I said foster parents are the main sexual offenders (source: 'The language instinct-how the mind creates language' by Steven Pinker, highly recommened, btw), someone felt competent enough to call me a liar. I know I shouldn't care about such crap since I know I'm right but how could I feel if situations like that keep happening all the time? Not only no one likes me but also they think I'm stupid and that's very painful because I'm not beautiful so I always tried to be at least not stupid. Anyway, I feel awful.

Hi Bathony - I know that feeling of loneliness, it can be a hard place to be. You seem to be quite angry at everyone including yourself - I am sorry things seem so tough for you right now - Soup

Hi Bathony! Some of the thoughts in your signature sound very familiar to me, thoughts that I fight with myself. You say no hugs so I won't offer one, but I'm sorry you're in so much pain right now.

You were really hurting when you wrote that Bathony. I hope it eases today or soon and you can see things a little more clearly. Some days can be better than others yes? Best wishes for you.

[Bathony]

No, it's not a bad day or sth. It's a bad life. I'm a failure and cannot succeed in anything. No one likes me except for my mother but she's biased because her brain makes her like me even though I'm unlikeable. I suck at everything and it willnnever change and never will it be better. I regret I didn't die- I tried 3-4 times.

((((Bathony)))))

I used to feel like this when I was younger I somehow grew out of it, When I feel crap though I still get the feeling that nobody likes me, I think it is down to depression and self confidence and poor self esteem, Do you have a therapist?

[DuckyMeeplovesbacon]

You can succeed, you just have to keep on trying and people do like you, you just have to find out and be around the correct people, I am telling you this because it's never to late to change and repent ask for forgiveness in people you have tried to argue or argue with, believe in yourself. smiles for you!

You don't even want to start this. My signature is there for a reason.

I wonder if it's possible they're intimidated by your intelligence? It's impressive to have such an expansive range of study as you do. It's possible (and unfortunate) they might feel the need to debase your argument to give them "equal footing" with you, so to speak.

Also, try not to get mad at Tinkerbell. Please understand it's a rather standard question around here, and I myself have very nearly hit the hug button once or twice on a post. It happens.

Do you like other people? You seem to want to push us all away.

some good in there somewhere bathony.

Beg your pardon?

That's the thing with the internet, it is hard to pick up on someone's tone along with the words they say.

So I am sorry if I was unclear Bathony, was just wondering whether there are people around you that you like and how we could help you here?
