To wonder who doesn't like me?

I get on with everyone I know and have a small group of friends but sometimes wonder out of the acquaintances I have are there some who don't like me and would i want to know? (There must be surely) If you had a super power that could reveal that to you would you want to know?

I’d want to know because I’m nosey Grin

Some people don't like me.

Similarly, I don't like everyone I meet.

So?

I think there are many, many more people who are indifferent to other people than actually dislike them. Disliking requires effort and consideration. With people I don't actively like, I don't really think about them at all.

I don’t like everyone so I guess that means statistically it’s extremely likely that not everyone likes me. I’ve learned to swerve friendships with people that give me doubts about their true feelings or intentions, life is way too short to spend it worrying about people who don’t make you feel good.

I don't care if people don't like me.
The people who I care about like me, the rest can get to fuck really.
The older you get, the more you observe that:

a) liking or not liking someone isn't usually rational and you can't control it.
b) trying to get someone who doesn't like you to like you will always backfire and at worst is opening the door to abuse.
c) staying in touch with people is difficult and hanging out with people who you don't really like is a waste of everyone's time.
d) spending a lot of time worrying about who doesn't like you will sap your self-esteem and energy.

Life's too short.

Can't say I'm that bothered. I don't like everyone so it stands to reason some people won't like me. I'm more interested in the people who I do like and who like me back.
