Why do you care? It's always been this way.
Because, even though I know I can be difficult to get along with, I am making a huge effort.
That doesn't matter. There will always be some people who just don't "get" you and people who don't like you.
But I don't want to be DIS-liked, I would rather have people think of me neutrally. Not like we're ever gonna hang out and I wouldn't want to.
You can't force people to like you or change their feelings. Deal with it.
