Everyone in school thinks I am bitter. How can I change their minds?

To change their minds, you would need to change your mind, the way you interact with them. People will believe what you show them. It would be helpful to contemplate why they feel this way. Allow yourself to truly look inward about this so you can assess what needs to be changed about how the interaction may create this belief for them. Once you're aware, it is easier to make adjustments. Be the version of yourself that you want your peers to see.

Usually bitterness stems from reclusiveness.. If people feel excluded by you, they make up an image of your attide for themselves. I know it can be hard, but try opening up to people.. When they introduce you to their friends be friendly.. Surely this notion of their a will go away once they get to know you.

Get yourself out there, but still be yourself! Make tons of friends and you'll be just fine. :) :) :)

Find out why they think that and find a way to compromise with them. :) Compromise is everything and it helps everyone find common ground

Try to think about why you come off as bitter to people, maybe it's the way you talk or do things. You can try to change that and appear as more perky and less bitter, but I also think that if you are okay with who you are, why should it matter what they think of you?

Alot of people who just met me think I'm bitter and boring, even my current friends had this image of me when I first met them. Usually I don't try to change their minds. All I'm doing is be myself and eventually the people who want to hang out with me will find out I'm not the guy they think I am.

Don't let other peoples' perceptions of you become a cause for you to change yourself. Let you just be you!The people who want to know you and be in your life will see you for who you truly are and not the 'bitter person' you say everybody thinks you are.

Maybe they think that you are bitter because its what they are seeing from you or from your aura. Try proving them wrong that what they see from you is a bitter person. Be optimistic or happy. Don't spread negativity to people.

Prove them wrong. Impressions can be so wrong and completely opposite of who you really are. Bring cookies for people at lunch or give out compliments

It depends on who they think you are and why they do so. If they think you are bitter when you even aren't doing things that make you seem bitter in general, then maybe you cant change their minds even if you tried to change yourself into someone else. It could be possible, but the only way to change their mind would be to be a person whom they think isn't bitter, and for that you would need to know what makes someone bitter for them by asking them. Personally, it comes down to being who I am and being okay with it, which can be difficult if I was thought to be someone not good, which isn't easy and understandably so. But maybe with time, certain circumstances or factors can make it easy to be ourselves and to accept that we are who we are doing our best, even if most disagree with us or cant see whom we truly are. I hope you can find a way out and have peace, I am sorry if this is giving you a hard time

Possibly there are options to emphasize your non-bitterness -- but ultimately, the opinion of one person, multiple people, or 'everyone', regardless of their relation to you, does not necessarily define you. It's hard when people are putting labels on us that just aren't true, naturally we want to defend ourselves, but in the end, we cannot control what other people think. Your opinion of yourself is really what's important -- and you don't think you're bitter, which is awesome. You know your truth and sometimes that has to be satisfying enough. It can be exhausting trying to change other people's opinions; it's like inadvertently living for other people. It also seems improbable that 100% of the school really thinks this way; surely there are people who have neutral opinions, or some in the school who don't know you yet to form an opinion, and maybe some who have good opinions of you! Who knows for sure? People will come and go, but you will be with yourself forever. Hope you find some peace. Be well and good luck!

Start off small, if you aren't outgoing you could just say a simple hello to a few people, if you mostly have a neutral or frowning face, try and smile to someone you enjoy the company of once in a while. A few kind words here and there and a positive attitude can go a long way as well!

You can never be wrong with smile. Smiling means a lot to people. It can reflect as you being an open person and you're willing to be a friend. Smile!

Smile a lot, offer help, be friendly by listening and giving compliments, be positive and warm when talking to anyone and most importantly, don't bully or hurt anyone.

Well, you can't force people to thing differently but perhaps a good start would be to first figure out why you feel that everyone thinks you're bitter.

You should know first why they think you're bitter. Ask them what makes them think you're bitter. Recognize your flaws a.d focus on improving yourself. What they think about you is not that important but be better person for yourself is more important.

by showing them how happy you are. do what makes you happy and they will see that you are a pleasant person

Let them think what they want to! But if you really wish to change their minds, you can always try to smile more, say hi to them and try to keep sarcasm on minimum

You can Show them kindness. This can be done by helping them on an assignment or having a friendly conversation with them to show them your personality for example.

Managing other people's mind can be challenging. I believe that showing them your positive side will automatically change their perception of you.

To start, how do you act around your schoolmates? Why do they think you are bitter? Being kind and grateful will help you with your schoolmates. Ask them why they think you are bitter. Don’t change yourself, just take feedback from your friends for example!

Perhaps involving yourself in social activities more will help if you don't do so already. It's kind of human nature to make quick fire assumptions against someone and getting involved more can help people to see the real you.

The best thing to do here is try to be more open and approachable. Ask some friends if you come off as bitter and then ask them why this is - or why you seem like that. If there are issues there which you agree, then perhaps take small step-by steps to alter that.

Simply move on. The best way to proving you're happy, and satisfied with your life is to simply live it to the extent that you would actually be happy.

I'm my experience, and based on it, i believe that it's a two factor thing. First of all we cannot change other people's minds, second, the only thing we cam change is our attitude towards us and them. So if people think you're bitter, maybe try changing the way you act towards them, being kind, compassionate, careing. But always keeping in mind that it may not help at all, because we cant change what people's thoughts. And in that case, there's only one way to fix it: don't take things personally.

Just be yourself and eventually they’ll realise how great of a person you are, don’t listen to those guys, they need to get their own lives instead of making other people’s feel worse than theirs.

Prove them wrong by not being afraid how showing them your emotions and by taking kind and compassion little gestures.

don't worry about changing anyone's mind, be yourself, love yourself, be confident in what you do, and after all that they'll see who you really are which is a strong caring person.

The idea is not to change their minds, but to create your own opinion about yourself. How do YOU feel about you? ...then no one else's opinion matters. They don't know you like YOU know you

By being kind to them, helping them whenever needed but if they still don't then uhh too don't waste your time proving it.
