Do you agree with "If people are uncomfortable around me then it's their problem, not mine"?

Answer 1

Yes or no. If someone is uncomfortable around you yet you did nothing wrong to them then that is their fault. If you just started making jokes or rumors around them or you got into some fight then they have a right to feel uncomftorable around you.

Answer 2

Generally yes, there will always be some people who dislike you, people have different personalities and certain combinations can cause friction or just be boring.

Exceptions would be if you are being intentionally antagonistic, or actually have an internal problem you are ignoring that makes others uncomfortable, whether it's depression or that you're a crack head. But if you feel healthy and happy, have others in your life that are not uncomfortable around you, then for those that don't enjoy your company- forget em, it's their problem.

Answer 3

If most people are uncomfortable around you then I think it's your problem. Feeling uncomfortable is quite different from not agreeing with someone. Think about the times you have felt uncomfortable around someone else....what were you uncomfortable about and was this reasonable?

Answer 4

Well it depends. Why are they uncomfortable around me? Are a lot of people uncomfortable areound me? Need to have the answers to those questions. Sometimes I agree it is there problem, other times I think that if a lot of people seem to be uncomfortable around someone, perhaps there is something that person could do to improve themself. I mean if you are uncomfortable around someone cause they smell, and they are always smelly because they don't bathe, then it is that person's problem, they need to bathe!

Answer 5

It depends.

There are people who say that who go out of their way to make everyone around them uncomfortable (or completely miserable).

In those cases, it's the person's fault.

If the people being made uncomfortable are being silly, then, yes, it's their problem.

Without any details or relevant context, it's impossible to agree or disagree with such a general statement.

Answer 6

Well, how many people are uncomfortable around you? If it's an inordinately large number, then you may want to ask them what it is that makes them uncomfortable--try to be open and not defensive about their answers.
If you're happy with yourself exactly the way you are regardless of whether or not other people are uncomfortable with you then, well, don't worry about it, I suppose, but be prepared for not everyone to want to hang around you.

Answer 7

No.
Read "How To Win Friends And Influence People," by Dale Carnegie, and you will see the benefit to YOURSELF of making people around you comfortable.

Actually, that is an embarrrassingly narcissistic statement. People aren't uncomfortable around you - they just don't like you, and are using "uncomfortable" as a face-saving way of getting away from you.

Answer 8

Yes I agree with you because you cannot change yourself just to please others. Besides isn't there people you are uncomfortable being around. That's part of life. If we were all The same then there would be challenges in life. Without challenges life would be boring as we know it. If someone doesn't want to be around you and accept you as you are then they can always go elsewhere or stay home. You are who you are so don't change if your happy with yourself.

Answer 9

No, suppose I just had an unfortunate encounter with a skunk. It's my problem even though they have to share it.

There are certain expectations of behavior in every group and sanctions (from stares to killing) for those who don't conform. A nun's habit at a hip-hop concert is going to get stares and probably a set of comments. Praying aloud for the patrons at a bookstore will likely get you escorted out.

Answer 10

Depends on if it is one or two people or a lot of people. Truthfully if a number of people are uncomfortable around you there must be a reason.
