Is it normal to feel that nobody likes you?

I came to another country for a year, and I've found it's quite hard to make new friends, also, that it's easier to hang around other foreign people.

But in the last few weeks I've been feeling really lonely, and I feel like no-one wants to be with me. For instance: I tried making plans with this girl that lives on the other side of the city, so I don't usually see her, we communicated through texts. When I asked her what she wanted to do, she was like 'I don't care, you decide'. I gave her two options, and she replied the same. So I took a while to see what would be better, and replied to her an hour later with my decision. I never had an answer, and she hasn't talked to me since then.

The same with this other group of friends. I almost feel they talk to me for pity. I try to go out with them on the weekends, but there's always someone busy, including me. I tried again, knowing that I would be free for the whole weekend, I invited them to go to the city, I wrote to them on facebook, and, after 2 days without answers, I texted them. Now I'm here alone wasting my weekend because they never replied, although I know they've been on facebook.

Is it normal that everyone seems to be avoiding you?

    Im curious to know where you're from and what country you went to. Could be some cultural dissonance going on. In any case, yes, its normal to feel that way.

  • It's normal for people to avoid someone. My advice is to act happy. Act like you're having fun without them and every weekend is the best night of your life. They'll probably be curious and want to spend a lot of time with you. When they start requesting to hang, blow them off. Then you will feel popular and successful in your goal to gain popularity among your friends.

    Nah I won't say it's normal but same for me -.- I really feel like some of my friends don't like me and making fun out of me... BUT they always talk to me than and hang out with me and also invite me one the weekend so they want me to be with them... I don't understand it^^ Furthermore most of the time I'm the one who wants to be alone.
