I have quite a few experiences relating to this in the work place. Especially when I was young and niave.
Most the people I worked with were much older than me. While I'm the new guy, trying to be friendly with everyone in order to have good working relations. Big mistake!
Kindness is mistaken for weakness.

What's 'the common man' to you?the common man can intuitively detect my extreme intelligence and it often unnerves them for sure
ohin real life
"intuitively senses" means they detect my extreme intelligence without my showing it off in real lifeoh
how do you show off your intellegence irl?
i usually just rock one of those im with stupid shirts with the arrow pointing upwards
the vast, vast majority of the human raceWhat's 'the common man' to you?
incorrect...my vantage point is simply above the common man who then interprets such a perspective as insulting (e.g. "rubbing it in his face")And nope, you just try to rub it in their faces like you do here aswell cause you are insecure trying to compensate something.
At least have the bollocks to tag me in when you slag me off, lol.At first it seemed like people were randomly hating that poster fingercuffs but it started to make more sense as I started paying closer attention.
I don’t really care if a bad persons dislikes me. I guess I did get annoyed with how this one guy hated me but liked everybody else though. It just seemed unfair. But at the end of the day I didn’t want to be his friend because I could tell he was a scumbag. It just interests me that you can be hated by somebody for nothing at all.Yes, I was just talking about that the other day. There was this girl at my job that was always a bit cold and stand-offish toward me. I can think of only 1 small thing I did that made her unhappy but she already didn't care for me, and I more than made up for it. Sometimes people won't like you and they'll look for ways to justify it in hindsight.
What people need to understand is that there will always be some people who dislike you no matter what you do. Or even if you don't do anything for that matter.
In my opinion, it is a waste of energy stressing or even thinking about it. I for one, am nice to anyone who gives me a reason not to be. If someone that I've barely ever interacted with dislikes me, I'll ponder for a second to see if I may have said or done something that I didn't realize offended them, but if I can't think of anything I shrug and go on about my life. We're adults, if I did something that bothered you, you can tell me... I have no time for games.
Some people just can't take being disliked for some reason. Ironically, I don't like people like that, there are some things you should be willing to upset others over. OP, you sound like you take it too personally. As long as you aren't a dick, you shouldn't be worrying about a factor out of your control.
