How do you handle it if you get the feeling someone doesn’t like you?
I’m not going to mention any names or particular situations – but there is this one woman (99% sure she doesn’t read my blog anyways), an acquaintance I keep encountering at various events.
And for some reason, I get the feeling she just doesn’t like me (I know, I can’t believe it either!).
On the surface, we seem to have a lot in common and live in the same area (hence the constant bumping into each other). She’s never been obviously rude or anything, it’s just a general vibe I’ve been getting.
For example:
- I could give anybody the benefit of the doubt, and think they are having a bad day once or twice, but she seems cool and disinterested every time.
- I would also chalk it up to shyness, but she seems friendly, outgoing and chatty enough. Just not with me.
- When we do find ourselves at an event together, we say hello and exchange a bit of small talk but that’s it.
- I’m wondering if her body language is what’s giving it away? There’s nothing specific that I remember, but she never wants to linger for conversation …
- She has never shown any interest in me, or getting together for a coffee, despite all we seem to have in common.
- Although connected on social media, we don’t talk.
- She makes me feel uncomfortable.
For some reason she is just not that into me!
To be honest, I feel like she is looking down her nose at me – but again, I can’t really pinpoint why I feel that way. I’m so lovable and cute, it’s hard to believe!
Mostly I don’t let it bother me. I remind myself that everybody’s different, maybe she already has more friends than she can handle, who knows … but I must confess it does leave me quite mystified. There aren’t too many people I can’t get along with but she seems to be one of them.
Do you ever get the feeling that someone doesn’t like you – and how do you handle it?
