This may or may not sound like a complaint, but even though I’m friends with some people, some of their friends don’t like me or think I’m weird/creepy for no apparent reason at all?
Now, false rumors and past behaviors are at play, but how would I handle a situation like this? It’s tough being friends with someone when their friends have an issue with me, so maybe saying something would help us all out?
What type past behaviors? There are certain behaviors that definitely fall into the creepy/keep your distance realm, and if you exhibited some of those, then it would not be surprising that people feel that way. If you have done things for which you should apologize, that would be a good place to start, but depending on what you did, you still may be met with resistance. It sounds like it might be time to take a cold, hard look at how people perceive your actions. Maybe they are being entirely unfair, or maybe there is something to their feelings.
Yea, @sta3535 can you give us more info?
Read some of their old threads… you will get the gist of it.
This is what matters: “I’m friends with some people.”
If other people have a problem with you, that’s their problem.
Yea, most of the issues that I posted about are under some of my threads. Now, I’m not sure why people aren’t as forgiving & understanding because we all were young once & made mistakes. However, I did learn from those mistakes, and I’m also on the spectrum as well, but I’m high functioning. I even told some people about my disability and they understood, but even if some people won’t forgive me, then that’s their problem. Although, some things may not be forgivable by everyone, and yes, it still hurts when I lose friends over certain situations, but hey, there’s always room for more new friends/connections.
Be the best you can be and things can change.
Ok. Do you have Two people on campus that you feel comfortable around? Maybe you will feel better with one on one socializing.
At any rate: Feelings are not Facts.
Please avoid mind reading, jumping to conclusions or catastrophizing.
Good luck, and good job on taking some risks.
