Don't worry about what other people think. You are you.If you see him say hi to him,and try to talk to him,and maybe he'll see that everyone is wrong about you.

You describe yourself as "being odd, annoying, etc." If that is a true description then no wonder "Everyone like, hates me" to quote your own words again. If you want to make friends with this new kid, you have to change your "annoying" behaviour or he won't want to know you either. I wish you all the best and hope you'll have the courage to change.

You know what ? Love who you are ! 20 years from now those people will be a distant meomory . Don't call yourself odd, or annoying. You are unique and special and those brats feel threatened by that because they are trying so hard to blend in and could never have the courage to be different !If you want to get to know him talk to him and tell him exactly what you wrote. If he acts childish and is a follower screw him !(not sexually lol)you deserve better

Don't worry. I know how it feels to be an outcast. There was this girl I had a crush on last year. I used to be quiet, shy and people tended to call me a weirdo. She found out I wasn't odd at all, and we are friends from since. Who cares what people say about you. Show the guy you're not what they claim, and if he's smart enough, he will find out.

Be yourself. You may not aggree now but who your friends were and what everybody thought of you in school wont matter once you graduate. All of those people who focus on fitting in and not whats important will lose out in the end. If the kid you want to be your friend is cool he'll like you for who you are, if he doesnt than why would you want to be friends with him anyway.

I'm sorry, but I beleive you have the wrong mind-set from the get-go. You shouldn't want people to like you when they won't like who you are. If this new kid doesn't like you, screw 'em, it's not important. As far as other kids telling him not to talk to you, just talk to him anyway. Sit down and talk to him.

Girlygirl said it perfectly, I know now you are in tunnel vision believe me it clears, and when you look back you'll wonder what you were thinking and the cheerleaders will be past their prime and not able to deal with it, same with the jocks, its almost cruel they have everything now but in the future if their going for a responsible position, you cant"t put down I was popular in high school and that applies to all popular people, I know they're not all cheerleaders, I was popular and I have heard people tell me I was horrible I didn't realize I was hated, I thought I was loved now I know I was just feared. You are worth a hundred of what I was and the girls like me of course being realistic peer pressure is alive and well so if this guy doesn't apppreciate you now..who is going to regret it, not you.Sorry for the novel

Dont worry what everyone else thinks about you. It sounds like that kid needs friends - and you could be the perfect person for that. If people tell you not to talk to him, ignore them. Do what YOU want. If you want that new kid to like you, just tell him straight out that you want him to be your friend. Simply dropping hints will make him feel that perhaps you dont want to be friends. Hope this has helped.

Just be yourself.

The only question I have for you is Just Why Do People Tell Others Not To Like You? Any clue? If you equate being odd, annoying etc., as being you, I think you better seriously get some counseling and see why you behave like this. You can be honest, open and kindly and still be yourself. If you act like a weirdo and get on people's nerves, you aren't going to get any new friends. All you will attract is the terminally desperate. You are probably a really nice person inside that is big time dysfunctional. Get some help with this. You obviously are very lonely if you want this kid to befriend you.

I was in that situation but I was the new kid and I walked in and sat down and some dude befriended me first thing and I was like okay cool. Then as days went by I noticed others never liked him for who he was back in middle school so they would make fun of him etc. But then I found out why they despised him so he would act out in the most gross and idiotic ways, I'm sure it was a defense mechanisim but still he kept doing it so I eventually kept moving further away from him. But I believe he would have been a good friend if it hadn't been for those other kids who treated him that way tho he acted out on it..... Try and fix some of the probs they have with you so life isn't so tough in there..that might help?
