Do you feel as though you were raised to assume it's your fault if others don't like you/don't show interest in you?

[Bethany22]

Like say other people never start asking you questions about yourself or make more effort to show interest in you even though you've made effort with them, do your parents still find reasons why it was probably because of something YOU did to make them unfriendly. For example, your parents say that it was probably because you weren't friendly in the beginning, so they forgot about you.

Composite bonding – A Modern dental treatment to enhance your smile

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dentistry treatment chronic to enhance your smile. During the procedure, your dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material. It helps to change the affected tooth’s shape, size, or color. Composite bonding poses no significant risk. You must know that the composite resin used in this procedure is not as strong as your natural teeth. Thus, the material has the potential to chip or separate from your original tooth. Chipping or breaking, but does rarely occur with crowns or veneers. But, alternatives like crowns and veneers remove part of the tooth.

My parents taught me that there will always be someone out there who doesn't like you. But they also taught me that if nobody likes me, then there is no way that the problem is everyone else. And they are 100% correct.

[DryGermanGuy]

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

- John Donne

If people don't generally like you, chances are VERY good that it IS your fault! If one PARTICULAR person doesn't like you, THAT could be anything. But if it's a general trend and the only common element is you, then logic would suggest it's something wrong with you.

[MCheetah]

Yes, I do. Though it didn't come from my parents. Women directly have told me they'd be more interested in me if I was taller (not short). Or if I was white. Or if I had a perfect gym body with a six/eight/twelve pack of abs. So it is my fault.

[Chazmatazz269]

Just the opposite. My parents taught me that you can’t get along with everyone and it’s a waste of time and energy to even try. Some people won’t like you and you won’t like some people. That’s all fine and dandy as long as you can be tactful and respectful.

[NathanDavis]

nope... as a dual national kid, living among two countries and two very different cultures

I was raised differently "don't give a flying duck about what people say or think little Nathan"

[Sixgunsound]

Pretty much. Just because you were raised a certain way to accept certain behavior from others does not mean you need to embrace or tolerate it as an adult.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, indeed, my mother was quite neurotic and tried to teach me many maladaptive ways of thinking. I've have fought that all of my life.

[melanieeeB]

Thankfully not, my mom always said ithis person doesn't like you the next will cause not everybody is going to like everyone

[Arik_jade]

Some parents might get upset by kid behaviour or unfriendly talk. But that is for some time or days, lateron they will forget that unfriendly talk because every parent loves his/her kid the most than any other person in the world.

[dustybiker]

No. Always been too rational for that. My parents and myself.

[clampfan101]

Self doubt from peer pressure comes naturally. How you’re raised isn’t the cause, but it can help you deal with it. (Or make it harder if raised poorly…)

[Anonymous]

I care about someone else more than me. How does thinking about negativity help me? It doesn't. So I will keep making money and say fuck everything else.

[Tracker1958]

Why do you care what people think? These days half the country hates the other half. If some one hate you, you know what side of the country they belong to.

[Shy_Steve]

In a way "Yes" which is why I have always been Shy.

[shortster]

Nope, I was raised to be polite and let the chips fall where they may.

[PizzaPieMamaBear]

No if you don’t like me that’s a you issue

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I feel this way

[loveslongnails]

No, I was not raised that way.

[boobliker]

yes it's always my fault!!

[Jennz6]

Yes it is my fault

[FunkyMonkee]

Nope.

[pizzalovershouse]

No not ever
