Honestly I would admit that I'm pretty moody and unpleasant. You can get away with it if you stay quiet at least 60% of the time. Making friends is ok because you don't have to be around friends long enough at one time for them to get sick of you. Job is the same thing. Making it seem like you're joking/sardonic when you're not helps. As far as having a romantic partner, they kind of filter themselves out. Anyone who can't handle it breaks up with you within a month (speaking from experience).
We find people who like us despite it, and those people know what we’re like all the time and enjoy our personalities along with the unpleasantness. Tbh it isn’t really a turn it off kind of thing, for a person who just is moody and not too nice most of the time I can safely say the friends I have genuinely like me a lot bc you have to like/love someone like on a deeper level to be able to be around them a lot w out taking how they are personally
Yea same here. Currently trying to just be optimistic. When i interact with these ppl, i just try to look forward to the next good thing happening. Like say something shit happens bc someone is being a prick early in the workday. Look forward to lunch or a coffee with your friends. Just small things that normally dont correlate, but add up towards your self esteem.
