i have to come to realize that there are a lot of people out there who hate me. more than there should be. i can count at least six i know for sure, possibly more

This entry is all to familiar. A lot of people hate me for the scummy things I have done and even though my intent it often nice, the follow through fails miserably. Sometimes people hate us irrationally (One girl hates me right now for something I never did) but other people just use the small things that bother them to paint us in a negative picture. The little annoyances and flaws we have can build up and when combined people overlook the good. After all, and I am sure you might agree, for all the people that we hate, we can still say at least one thing positive

i know what you mean about trying to make yourself happy first, but i feel like that's the reason so many people dislike me. i am so often told that i am being selfish. and i'm petrified of being alone and having no friends (which is where i'm headed) so i'm not sure what to do anymore.
i always have people tell me those are good qualities about me and that they wish they could be more like that, but then those are the exact reasons they get mad at me. everyone loves it, until it offends them. i just don't know. i don't want to change, but i feel like i'm making more enemies than friends.
thanks a lot, carie. this was helpful. really. thank you.
No, there's nothing wrong with you, and you're actually, uh, the best friend ever. Like, seriously, you've helped me through so much and you've always been there for me. You always cheer me up when I'm upset or even just bored. I was just thinking two nights ago (when you sent me that graffiti picture) how lucky I am that you're my friend. I feel bad for the people who hate you: they're really missing out, the dumb shits.
you shouldn't hate any of those things about yourself. almost all of what you listed as things you hate are things that i wish i COULD be. the only thing, obviously, is being a terrible friend. but amanda, i assure you, you're not.
i know that's probably a surprising statement coming from me, for reasons that i know i don't have to get into. but honestly, you were one of the best friends i had in high school, and i don't ever remember thinking you were a terrible friend. despite what some people might speculate.
if people hate you, it's because of their own issues. don't let them bring you down.
i know those all seem like positive things until someone gets offended or thinks i'm butting in too much. it's a very fine line and as soon as someone thinks i've crossed it, it's all over. they all think those are good qualities until i offend them, then they tell a different story.
thanks, though. i really appreciate you saying that. especially considering i have some friends from high school who now hate me for supposedly being a terrible friend (*cough*marykate*cough*).
