A little bit of reality--NOT every person in the world will like you or want to be friends with you. You will not like every person in the world or want to be friends with them. Sometimes people simply don't mesh as friends, partners, etc. There is nothing "wrong" with either person necessarily. It's just the way it is. There are millions of personalities. You won't like every single one and not every single one will like yours.

Move on in your life.
Excellent point.
Kittycat, just like YOU don't want to be around certain people or do not "click" with every single person on your job, in your school, in your church, in your neighborhood, or in the world, every single person in those places or in the world does not "click" with you.
Perhaps, you need to speak to a therapist about this issue.

One example from my life. There was a woman that I used to work with, almost everyone absolutely loved her, she was very,very popular. But, she made my skin crawl. I could barely stand to look at her during meetings or even be cordial to her AND vice versa. I hated her and she hated me from the first time that we met.
It did not matter that everyone else liked her, frankly, I would rather go on a vacation with Jeffrey Dahmer than spend one minute alone with this woman. I have no idea why, but nothing was going to change it. We worked at the same place for over a decade and attended the same parties, etc. but we stayed on opposite sides of the room from each other, whenever we could do that. We never even spoke to each other unless we absolutely had to do that.
I did not try to get her to like me and she did not try to get me to like her, because nothing was going to ever change.
It is almost 30 years since we first met and just thinking about her makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. BTW, several of my close friends are still very close friends with her.

It makes no sense that you extend your hand out to that person and they respond like that.
Is that a defense mechanism or did that. It understand what work it out mean?
I would like to hear your personal stories. Have you done this and why?
Well now kitty
I answered a PM from you and got a huge spiel in reponse about this one, that one
I only scanned it because kitty - you went too far
I am a STRANGER and owe you nothing
Perhaps you expect a lot from folk IRL
At the end of the day, nobody HAS to do a thing to make you feel better
You have to do that for yourself.
