I don't think that's quite what the author meant - although forgive me if it was. I think by being happy and successful, I think he meant trying to get away from the nay-sayers and negative people onto better people who will treat them better. I have friends from school added me on Facebook that don't want to associate with any more, so why would I then accept their request?

See where I'm going with this? But you're right in saying we need to trust people. Mankind / Womankind needs to trust people to survive. And plus, we aren't all bad

That is true. Some of my best friends are what people would deem as 'geeks and nerds' (granted, they're my flatmates). But I don't care, yes I look stereotypically different from them but they are people that I respect. Yes, they sometimes say stupid stuff like 'Are we too uncool for you? Are you ashamed of us?' , but honestly, I am not ashamed of them and nor are they too uncool for me, they are so fun man. All that geek stuff, i love it, i love getting excited about video games etc with them.

That's amazing

The only people that have grudges against people in general are those that are insecure and feel as if they have something to prove/rub success in others faces.














You may be handsome, successful, etc, but you are insecure. Get over it and get over yourself.

Hope this helped

I can appreciate, as an individual with academic talents who struggled socially in my youth, the desire to achieve some form of objective success and feel superior to the people that made you feel worse about yourself, but I don't feel it's a great solution in the long term. You say that your life is 'amazing' but, while it may have its positives, it actually sounds like you're quite on edge a lot of the time, and dwelling too much on other people in a negative way. Being 'successful' is all well and good, but I doubt it will be truly satisfying unless you're pursuing it because it's something you want for its own sake, and not because you feel it's what you need to show other people how much better you are.

If you can just ease up on stressing about the way others see you (not an easy thing, I know, but you can get there if you acknowledge it as a problem) then you've got a lot of things in your life which are very good - you sound like a motivated and capable young man.

Did your face fill out and look better after you put muscle on? I am pretty slim/skinny and trying to put on weight, my jaw is pretty weak I would say and want to get a stronger, fuller jaw, cheers

Yes my jaw became very chiselled. It all depends on genetics anyway so there's no guarantee that you will follow the same path too.

I don't get the bitterness. You've come up against all odds. Shown the world you're a winner and not a loser and even managed to come out of a crap family or so you say.

You should be happy, you should love inspiring others to be the same and helping them out, otherwise you turn into the user, abuser and the people that you hate.

This. I grew up as the poor scholarship kid at a rich school. I felt horrible and inadequate all the way through school. I am now working and very successful. Some of those rich kids have done well but others haven't, and the recession hasn't been kind to them. While I have this unreality feeling of how well I am doing vs how badly they are, I don't take any kind of pleasure in it. I'm happy for myself, that I have proved I have what it takes, and - finally - I love being me. I don't hate the world, yes I sometimes still feel it's not fair that I was looked down on for lack of money and only a few kids saw past that to who I was, but that's all in the past now. OP, you have got to let it go, see a shrink if you need to, but life is too long - and enjoyable - to go through hardened and embittered.

I'll be honest. I grew up a nerd, unpopular and what have you.

I am on the verge of a training contract with one of the biggest law firms in the world, I am virtually guaranteed an offer of postgrad law study at a top 3 traditionally prestigious English Law school. I have got to the point of physical development where I am hotter than the vast majority of guys.

I have women throwing themselves at me in daytime and in clubs. (I enjoy the attention, but I rather **** prostitutes/escorts because i am terrible with actually pulling a girl)

Yet, I hate people in general, I hate men and women and the whole rat race. But I just want to win. Yes, my younger days have profoundly affected me, but tbh being a stuck up **** is just the best way to be tbh. If someone is like that to me, at least they are honest.

So, yes, i admit i have problems, in that i'm also exceedingly lonely but hate the vast majority of people i come across.

I am exceedingly successful when it comes to my businesses (affiliate marketing, networking, property investment in China) but I just cba with the trivialities of people. But, what i want is to meet like minded people.

I disbelieve the vast majority of what you said due to your poor grammar.

I understand where you are coming from. Girls here just care about Looks and are quite shallow, even the classy looking ones. I never get anyone coming onto me, at least not in a stranger capacity such as the train. I never go out to social places so I wouldn't know if anyone would like me.

I think being 29 now and 30 in july, I really need to take one week in london and go to the clubs just so i can die happy. I wish I had a relationship and i have had a date that lasted 2 weeks and then friends for a year until she started dating a girl and they chose to end the friendship.

Any honest girls who like personality out there would be great! Maybe it only exists abroad i don't know.

No, it doesn't work that way. I get exactly what the OP is feeling. Essentially, the same people that rejected you and wouldn't give you the time of day, now want to be your friend because you're successful and attractive. Would you just turn around and trust them and give them your time? And you know how you know that they're the same people who would have rejected you? Because they reject and scorn people who are still like you (used to be); the ones who didn't make the transformation. How could anyone who has been there, forgive such shallow people?

OP, forgive the platitude, but hate "is like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die". It'll eat away at you slowly. There comes a time when you have to let go. This is not to say that you must let shallow goons into your life or give them the time of day. Rather, a little discretion is required to get to know the people out there that are genuinely kind and non-judgmental. You won't find them, however, if you approach life with your current mentality. Btw, I'm somewhat like you, but the female version. But it has been a while for me, and I'm starting to learn to trust people, and to allow them to prove themselves rather than writing them off immediately.

Exact! I hope there's a way of knowing how good a person is without wasting alot of time. Maybe people who work for charities but then again alot of charities pay salary's so that might just be them out of a job and realising they can make money for themselves.
