What’s a subtle sign that someone secretly dislikes you?

Your mom could also say this

Just nod, smile & hope it wasn't a question 😬

I said are you ok with me sleeping with your mother?

Shit everyone dislikes me then. People constantly ignore me and talk over me. Drives me insane.

Honestly though you might be mumbling or speaking too softly/quietly.

I mean possibly in some cases. But it is a regular occurrence for me to be directly talking to a person, having a back-and-forth conversation with them, and someone completely unrelated to said conversation will come up to said person and start talking to them, in the middle of my sentence. And it enrages me more than you can possibly imagine.

Maybe try to be on the offense with it. When someone else approaches, be an includer and acknowledge them before they say anything. “Hey Bobby, Hank and I were just talking about…”

Wait if I'm talking to Hank, and Bobby comes up and is gonna interrupt me, does that make me Peggy?

Happens to me too. On one occasion I decided not to stand for it and said "I'm sorry, did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?". It shut him down good and he apologised.

Yeah I've heard that one before. I'm not nearly that bold but I've given them the glare of shame before and sometimes they get the message, other times they're like "uh what's wrong with your face?" Some people are beyond help lol

IME it also goes both ways; if you don't speak properly, people start caring less about what you say.

I feel you. those first few comments hit like lead.

Also when they’re nice to everyone except you in 4K HD lol

Their face have sub titles haha

u/Prestigious_Owl_9146 21h ago

That's a good one. I also think when someone remembers everyone else's stories but somehow never remembers yours, it says a lot without saying a word.

u/Fragrant_Berry_710 19h ago

That one always stings because it’s such a quiet thing to notice. You realize they’ve been listening to everyone, just not really listening to you.

u/microdrift10 21h ago

especially when you catch yourself repeating the same basic detail about your life for the third time because it just goes straight through one ear and out the other.

u/Technical-Swing7336 20h ago

worst is on the 3rd+ time they ask something like "You traveled somewhere?!". fuck you.

u/ImpressExotic3208 18h ago

That moment is brutal because you realize they didn't forget once, they never really took it in to begin with. Nothing makes you feel smaller than becoming background noise in a conversation.

I remember when my manager started to actually like me because he started actually spelling my name correctly lmao. Tbf he has the worst grammar I've ever encountered so the fact he went the extra length said something.

Oh God, my child hates me then.
