Search Results: how to deal with shy guys

I don't get it. I'm trying analyze my behavior and determine what is wrong with me.

I'm generally pretty negative internally and attempt to be positive with others because it would be unfair to be treated that way. I don't understand why people don't like me. Ever since I was a child, people have always been pretty rude to me. The times when I was younger, as in grade school up to fifth grade I don't take too personally.

However, from the treatment I've received from my family members and what I considered friends/strangers/acquaintances is another story up to this point at 23.

I either hear I'm being spoken negatively about or women, rarely guys are just very mean to me. I consider it bullying.

I'm shy and don't get approached often by guys. People say that before they knew me they thought I was stuck up or a bitch. Okay? Big deal?

I find most people to be unapproachable at times and could care less if they want to be my friend or not. I just want some respect or consideration because I'm a person and have feelings too.

I have taken medication and attempted to attend cognitive behavioral therapy sessions. Regardless of my attempts from a psychological standpoint, I'm always unhappy and negative. And this scenario with being hated by people brings me down.
