everyone at my college dislikes me, even my professors, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I feel really bad.
>>84503562>my collegeYou have your own college?
>>84503562rache do you know Chef boyardee ?
>>84503562how do you know? what do they do?
>>84503562How do you know it's even your professors? What else is going wrong?
>>84503575Yeah.>>84503583they just seem to look at me weird and I can feel a faint sense of disgust in their eyes. I groom myself and shower. there's a few people who're nice to me and I really appreciate that- even though I can tell it's out of pity (I'm quiet and awkward). it's hard to articulate my experience, but I feel like I consistently do the wrong thing. or maybe there's some other reason people take unfavorably to what I say or do.
>>84503562>>84503607The quiet incel is always a conservative. They know you're not loud and boisterous because you have the wrong opinions and they hate you for it.
OP look up the Dartmouth Scar Experiment. The takeaway is that our internal beliefs can make us see discrimination or judgment when none exist. If you fear that people dislike you, you will interpret neutral behavior as more negative and hostile.
>>84503562Is there a foul odor radiating from you?
>>84503586they just give me weird looks and seem very unfriendly in our interactions, like they have a polite veneer on and are trying to hide their disgust.>>84503784I don't have super politically incorrect opinions or anything. or at least not strongly>>84503891I really think it's beyond the threshold of being entirely in my head. I understand what you're trying to say though, anon.>>84503989I shower every day.
>>84504456>shower every dayDo you scrub your stinky areas with a peeling glove to get real clean?
>>84504463an exfoliating glove? yeah actually
>>84504537OK, so if your deodorant doesn't fail there might be an issue with your personality. Do you have a prickly personality that upsets everyone with your know-it-ally-ness, mayhaps?
Yeah, I get it. I eventually stopped caring, I guess. It's obvious I'm truly not like them, so why not just let it be. At least I (falsely) appear competent and intelligent enough to have them give me some minimal respect. But this year I've had two people come up to me at a seminar to talk and try to befriend me as social practice. Just picking the weirdo out to prepare yourself better for how to deal with people post-graduation. Fuck law, man, these people are such psychos.
Do you -actually- talk to anybody? Do you hang out? Do you take any actual stances on things, even if others may disagree? The answers were no for me and this thread reminds me a lot of myself. Still in this community college bullshit because I'm too scared to move ahead in life, but this is what I see too.
>>84504637yeah, I just signed up for a group project so I could socialize and maybe make friends. I do have someone I get along with well irl, but that's because we met on 4chan.I made one sorta off-color joke about how rent-increases could be solved by giving landlords the "Cultural Revolution" treatment and my classmate sorta awkwardly laughed. >reminds me a lot of myselfwhat're you gonna do moving forward?
>>84504599(You) are accusing me of having SUBPAR bodily hygiene and I do NOT appreciate that. I may be ugly but stinky I am not. shame on you anon. tsk tsk
>>84504625what about you makes you think people view you as weird?
>>84504792Well, law is very, very normie. Absurdly so. Most of the people there could have been pulled straight out of advertisements, they're so neat, plain, well-groomed and styled, and they're obviously well-off. I look and act a little strange in the first place -- slightly scruffy with old worn clothes, avoidant, really silent with odd diction and usually not completely sober. It's not so much it would be memorable in, say, philosophy, literature or stem, but enough to be "that guy" in a class of law students. I've also been explicitly told that I am several times and I am always the first target of cultists and proselytizers of all kinds.
