Well, You could try smiling at strangers more often, complimenting people, and even waving occasionally, it doesn't hurt to be kind to people, some people need it and it often boosts their mentality. Some people may not react as sweet back, or exchange confused glances, but don't worry, that's simply because people in schools normally aren't kind enough to smile and be sweet. If someone looks down, you can try picking them up, and if someone looks like they may need help, you could offer it to them. Don't worry, stay positive and keep that lovely smile on your face.

The way you change anyone mind is by changing your ways and the way your doing certain things. Your actions speaks way more louder than anything you could say so start with changing the way you act towards things. In my experience I've dealt with my bitterness by accepting my role in past situations. I've forgiven myself and asked those involved to forgive me. When I feel bitterness creeping into my world I try to find things to that will bring a joyous reaction not only to myself but others. You have to first admit that you are bitter and not deny it above all else.

Why do they think you are bitter; and, how would you prove to them that you are really a great person? I honestly can understand that feeling isolated from others can be brutal in communication settings where two or more people must work together to accomplish a goal. But above all; how do you feel about this certain situation that life has shown you? I remember how socialism and it's many diverse ethnic groups. When you have a chance, I only ask that you take a small break to actually understand your position and situation; because we don't want or need ourselves feeling like our peers opinion of us are rite.

Continue to be you, do not change yourself for anyone - if you're happy the way you are and they do not appreciate it then that's not your fault and your true friends will recognise that, in life there will be numerous people you may not get along with or there will be people that you simply cannot please but as long as you know deep within that you are loving and you stand by yourself no matter what then these problems won't take over. Stay true to yourself and love yourself for who you are, you are amazing and a lovely person I'm sure.

First you need to know why they think this, and then monitor your behavior and conversation, and try to change your way of dealing and talking with others, it is also good that you write notes about yourself, and make your close friends and family write some notes about your personality, which may help you change for the better, There are many books of behavior assessment that you can use and learn through the art of dealing with others. It could be just an illusion in your mind or just a bully, so check with a psychiatrist for help

What do they think you're bitter about? Is it possible that you are truly feeling bitter? It could help to work out if you are actually feeling bitter, and then try and decide, if so, why, and what you can do to accept the feeling and to stop it from interfering with your relationships. There may be some underlying cause beneath the bitterness that is making you seem bitter to others. It is also worth considering whether your sense that they think you are bitter is actually a consequence of the fact that you know in yourself that you are feeling bitter. Perhaps you are judging yourself for feeling that emotion, and then assuming that everyone else is judging you too! Things you could do to help you move through bitterness is work out the origin: is it rooted frustration or a feeling of rejection? Did you have some hopes and dreams that you find/found that you couldn't achieve? Whatever it is, find it, and think about whether there's anything you can do to change the circumstances in your life that are causing the bitterness. Best of luck xxx

Everyone is allowed to form their own opinion and perception. Their opinions and decisions are driven by the actions around them. The best thing would be to promise your self that you are ready to change the driver for their thinking. Try the following:
1. Things don't change in a day, but try to greet others when you meet them. Don't worry about how they react back.
2. Helping others create an aura of positivity. Try offering help to people.
3. Words play a great role in helping people form a perception about you. It would be great to use more positive words in your conversations

I've been there before. I remember sitting in class, wondering why no one would come up to me and talk to me, why I had no friends. I later realized that I grimaced a lot unconsciously, and I pushed people away who wanted to talk to me, because I subconsciously felt like they were trying to make fun of me, and because of this, I came off as very defensive and angry.
In my experience, most people in my school were terrible at recognizing emotions and their underlying causes. It's a part of growing up and seeing that there's more to people than what we assume at first. It can also be difficult to recognize why we come off a certain way to people. In my case, a school counselor told me why I made a bad impression on people.
While you won't be likable to everyone, I urge you to continue putting yourself out there. Join some clubs, volunteer, participate in competitions, maybe pick up a hobby. I assure you that you will find people similar to you, and most days, that will be enough. Plus, you'll learn a lot about yourself and grow in many ways.
While I still feel like people hate me for no reason sometimes, I know that my friends recognize me for who I am, and having that group of people who like me for who I am means more to me than trying to please everyone by acting in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. You'll find that too.
Don't give up!

Often times, our behaviour isn't the problem but rather the perception of our behaviour. Other people can't see into our minds, so they can't understand why we do the things we do and say the things we say. It may seem clear as day to us, but that's rarely ever the case. Of course, you can't always account for other people's perceptions, but you can try and make your behaviour as evident as possible so that it doesn't lead to any misconceptions. If you're concerned that they have an opinion about your that may be inaccurate, try and find what it is about your behaviour that may be giving off the impression.

First, think of the reason why do you want to change their minds? Then, think of the possible reasons why would they think you're bitter. Maybe you can think of ways to change their perspective about you by doing so. It also improves yourself (if needed). But remember that some people think otherwise no matter what you do. So don't worry and just be yourself. Also, think of the reason what the are to you. Are they really that important in your life that you would want to change yourself for them? If so, then go ahead. But if not, then just stay the way you are.
