If someone doesn't like you...

[Licorice]

I abide by the old saying "you can't please everyone". I used to worry so much about whether or not people liked me that I never felt secure, and they never liked me very much after I changed, either. They just didn't dislike me.

What do I have to lose from not adjusting, unless I'm quarreling with someone at work... ?

This is a problematic question to me.
I have a very naive approach to other people, I don't expect them to be deceptive, it makes no real sense to me. I have a generally positive attitude towards everyone, if I meet resistance, I'm still polite and expect politeness back. I've encountered few people in a working place who openly disliked me, and I do not prefer it if we are to meet on regular basis.
There are very few people that matter to me to a point where I truly care about their opinion about me and I am certain those people like me for who I am.
I'm quite certain this wouldn't be considered NT behavior, though I've always just seen it as me being me.

I get very worked up when somebody doesn't like me - so it's much safer with me not to say that. If you are meh with me, I'll be meh with you. And if you really don't' like me, I may or may not be able to tell, but it's better to let me figure it out for myself anyways.

I don't handle negativity towards me very well at all :v

too many people on earth to worry about one little ol' person.

I'd rather know. I can't stand falseness.
I spend half my life thinking I know what someone is thinking about me only to later find out I was completely wrong. These days, I just expect it to be the opposite of what I'm thinking.

I don't think it's an Aspie thing. Actually, I guess it could be a ToM thing.
