I seem to inspire most people to dislike me. I think it's a pheromone thing.

i imagine it's worse if you are still like it in your 30's
If she's feeling uncomfortable with it, that's because he seems to be making it that way.
Acthually, that wath a pithy two-liner, if you look clothely
being a shy guy under 20 is a fucking nightmare
I'm shy and in my 30s. Its not that bad, like.
But, it could be better. Still...
Shyness is nice
But shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to
Ended up seeing him out on saturday night and he was grand to me, shook me hand and all.
even worse...
girlfriend in a coma
it's serious
If he's doing this intentionally than yeah, he's a dick
He mightn't be though, maybe Roisin's reading something into it that's not there..
I don't know, we're not always responsible for how people react to our behaviour.
For example, I was attacked by a nice family in a park because they assumed I was some sort of thug that was going to step on their baby as I walked by (!) I wasn't going to..honest
True enough. We're responsible to an extent, but obviously not entirely.
Anyway, that family clearly fancied the pants off you.
well she got a transplant...
Irish blood, English heart
we'll see
I just went into a bakery. The woman in there served me, took my money, fair enough....but there was something in the way she handed the money back, it was all passive-aggressive. What's her problem?
Then, on the way home, some stranger I've never met totally blanked me! Clearly, he hates me. But why?
Here lads, don't plagiarise or take on loan.
The consensus seems to be that the guy fancies her. I am suggesting that this is entirely possible, but that this kind of hatred is not necessarily fancying, although sometimes it goes along with fancying the pants off someone.
And the problem is not that he fancies her, but that regardless of the explanation, he's behaving like a nasty mean prick to her and she doesn't deserve that.
Roisin, have you thought about confronting him about it? Not the fancying, like, but the meanness? Not saying it would necessarily work, but if he's being a dick, he's being a dick. Might make him be a worse dick, but it might also make him stop. He'd probably laugh in your face at first, by the way.
Someone deliberately humiliating another person, singling them out and being a total prick while being nice to everyone else is not just 'a bit awkward'. It's nasty and it's pretty much the same dynamic as are all the behaviours on the bullying spectrum, from mild public humiliation and insult to outright abuse.
Hi Squiggle, I think we're talking about something different here, and I have to say I'm with jane on this (and also taking mental to new levels).
Like theres not talking to someone when you're going about your business, but theres also not talking to someone but going out of your way to let that person know you're not talking to them but putting yourself in their way as much as you can.
The differences are subtle, but are there. To me the latter case is emotional bullying.
But, whether thats the case in Roisins predicament, thats another story, and to me it isn't obvious.
