Things That Make People Dislike You (Don’t be that person.)

Are you doing something that will make others dislike you? If so then you’ve come to the right place to figure this out. There are plenty of reasons someone can dislike you but the good news it once you figure it out you can change your ways or simply move on without that person or group of people.

You’re told not to worry about what other people think, but easier said than done. If you constantly replay events, “I shouldn’t have said that,” or “I wish I had said this,” then it’s only natural that you worry about what other people think.

We want to be liked, be part of the group, and be accepted into the fold that’s human nature at its core.

With all that in mind here are seven reasons, someone may not like you and what to do about it.

Some people are very sensitive to what others say and do. They can be easily offended and get annoyed. There are many things that make people dislike you, but there are also some things you can do to avoid being disliked by others.

Not Listening

Not listening: The first thing that makes people dislike you is not listening to them or giving them your full attention when they speak. This can lead to misunderstandings, which in turn leads to conflict.

If you think this is the case, try shutting up and actively listening for natural pauses in the conversation or when you’re asked a question. Yes, it can be boring, but your goal is to get people to like you.

Being Inconsiderate

Being inconsiderate: Being inconsiderate of other people’s feelings is also something that makes people dislike you. For example, if someone asks for your opinion on a dress, but you tell them that it looks terrible and they’re going to have to wear it all night. You could be seen ask being bitchy. Sometimes it’s important to know when you should keep your opinion to yourself so you don’t offend or hurt people.

Sharing Too Much On Social Media

Sharing too many photos on social media can have a negative effect. A study done by David Hutton found that because people won’t be able to relate as well to what you share, your relationships in real life will weaken. Some people my not like if you post too many family photos or show off photos, look at me kind of thing.

Avoid making these same mistakes next time by thinking about how your photos will be seen, keep that top of mind.

Humblebrag.

Humblebrag, “I would never compare myself to Einstein and his level of intelligence, but I am a smart guy”.

Ever heard anything like that before? That’s a humblebrag and it’s grating to hear. Don’t brag about things no one likes it and you will lose friends fast and people will dislike you more and more.

Constantly criticizing people and their choices is such a turn-off. If you find yourself always putting someone down or telling them they are stupid or something along those lines is one of the quickest ways to drive someone away. It might be difficult to stop but it’s worth it because you don’t want to be that person.

Faking Emotions.

Are you the kind of person who fakes how they feel when people tell them about their lives? Do you have difficulty expressing your feelings to others? Do you go along with others without really wanting to be there? If so, this behavior might cause others to dislike you.
