Why can't they accept me for who I am?

Sometimes people can't accept what they can't relate to. It does not mean they are right it just means they are not the type of people that you want to be hanging around in your life.

How are you feeling about who you are? If you are feeling uncomfortable or insecure about yourself, this is something we should try to talk about. Building up your confidence in who you are could help. It won't bother you as much when people aren't accepting of you if we can work on your own self esteem. Does that sound like something that you would like to talk about?

Because they have different mind set and everyone is individual. There is no universally good or bad. It is all about one's understanding, sensibility, attitude, and culture. If they have no ability to understand you, you better keep moving on. Life is beautiful and you were born alone and will die alone... just think that.

People don't like change and when they see someone that is different, they don't know how to react. It's like the new kid in school; are they a nerd who's going to harm their reputation? No one knows what your personality is like if they can't see past what you wear or look like. The main issue is society is reputation and if someone who's obviously different could have any chance of harming that, they get all defensive. In its crazy way, not being accepted into society is a compliment because you'll never be as low as they are; you'll always be the person who people will be intrigued by; simply because you're not an open book like most people.

humans are interesting creatures. We pick out those who we see a lot of ourselves in and cast out those who aren't like us.We tend to avoid and be scared of what we don't know. Dont take anything personal that you know for a fact wont affect you in the next year. If "they" can't accept you for who you are, then find someone who will. It's scary at first, but it will benefit greatly. i wish you the very best of luck.

You have no control over what other people think, say or do, but you have control over your reaction. Perhaps they are jealous of you, or perhaps the are insecure. Whatever the reason, be proud of who you are. Stand tall and strong and take pride in yourself. If they don't want to accept you, that's their loss.

Things to think about: 1. What really matters is: do you think you need to change? 2. Be kind to yourself if you decide to change. 3. Don’t be afraid to lose false friends. 4. Could your supposed weakness actually be your strength?

Because they're wrong, ignorant, confused, caught off guard, disoriented. Eventually, they'll adjust, or they're not worth your time anyways.

Its hard to say what others might be feeling or why people do the things they do. Its not easy. But just keep your head up and keep being you and doing the best you can to be the best person that you can be.

because they aint the right people for you, the good people always accept you for who you are. So if you don't feel the support of people around you, you may be surrounded by the wrong people
