11 Reasons Why No One Likes You
Even though you really are a nice person
--
If you’re anything like me, or like I was, it kinda really bothers you when you find out people don’t like you. You’re fairly certain you’re a nice person with a good heart. You feel you are likable enough. So what gives? Why don’t people like you?

Did I offend someone? Did I trigger someone? Did I hurt someone’s feelings? What the hell happened?
Well, it’s not you at all…or, is it?
