I think someone may be spreading false rumors about me

<p>I'm a very nice guy, but I was largely neglected in high school. The worst thing I can remember doing was deleting a couple of people off of facebook, which I don't really think is a big deal anyway because I deactivated it.</p>

<p>Towards the end of high school, I got the feeling that people were randomly turning sour on me - nice people too, not mr or miss populars. These were trivial, but somewhat hurtful things, like not saying hi back when I greet them, or looking at me as if I'm possessed when I talk to them. I hated high school because of this.</p>

<p>Now, 2 very nice guys I used to know are ignoring me. They're roommates. I texted one of them to ask how he was doing; he didn't respond. Just now I texted him asking if it was something I said or did, but I doubt he'll respond.</p>

<p>I am extremely confused and kind of angry. I want to keep the good friends I made in high school. What the hell could be going on?</p>

<p>It might be an aspect of your personality you’re unaware of? Do you come across as overly clingy/annoying/etc in person? (serious question – not trying to be an ass)</p>

<p>No. I am not over clingly. I may jokingly criticize people sometimes, which may offend some, but I receive stuff like that from my friends all the time, and I don’t find it annoying or offensive whatsoever.</p>

<p>Time to move on</p>

<p>Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.</p>

<p>its hard to address your concerns with the limited information we have. But if you are generally disliked it might be your fault. But why live to please others?</p>

<p>I agree. I used to take it very personally when someone didn’t like me, but now, I’ve learned to not give a *****, and it’s worked a lot better. The thing is, seeing something like this happen is very strange to me, and it bugs the crap out of me because I just can’t figure it out. </p>

<p>I seriously don’t know what the deal is with these guys, but I’m not getting worked up about it. </p>

<p>Also, to fill in on someone said above, I was pretty awkward in high school at times. I guess that could have contributed. But that was due to my circumstances as a confused teen who was extremely unhappy with his life.</p>

<p>Who was not awkward in high school?</p>

<p>thanks, I appreciate it.</p>

<p>From what you described it really doesn’t sound like people are spreading rumors about you. So get that idea out of your head.</p>

<p>I ignore texts all the time. Your friend could be busy, or just not feel like talking to you at the moment. You shouldn’t automatically jump to the conclusion that he hates you or that you did something wrong. Friendships from high school usually fade and I wouldn’t start wigging out at the friends you have kept because its just going to push them away. Be nice. If they don’t answer, then they don’t answer - move on. You could wait a few days and text again with a casual, “hey it’s been a while whats up”, if they don’t answer again…then maybe you guys are just drifting apart. It sucks, but its part of life. :/</p>

</p>

<p>nah I’m not going to do that. I’m done worrying about these stupid things.</p>

<p>Friends come and go.</p>

<p>It’s almost impossible to keep friends for your entire life.</p>

<p>In reality, it’s probably not good to keep the same friends for your entire life.</p>

<p>Move on, meet new people.</p>

<p>It sounds like you’re too clingy, and people generally push away clingy people.</p>

<p>Oh, it was me. I was spreading the word that you ate babies in 'Nam.</p>
