Do people accept you for who your are, or do they not?

I know that many people I know don't accept me for who I am. I am so fed up with my in-laws. They know how I can be and they still don't want to accept me for who I really am. This is getting on my nerves!
They expect me to talk all of the time, but I am just not that talkative at all. And they know this. They still want to find a way for me to talk and tell them what they may want to know and to hear. I am not about that at all. My brother-in-law is the main person that loves to talk and to ask people personal questions. Why does he do this? I am sure that after he has gotten done with asking these questions, he can probably see the look on the persons face. I am sure that he can notice me or someone else being uncomfortable. Why does he want to know so many personal and private things about a person? One time he came up to me and told me that, there is a pill that I can take that will help to reduce my stomach size. I felt like this was not his place to mention this to me. This is a very private matter. I did not ask him how he felt about my stomach being a little bulging anyway. So why does he feel that he needs to give his opinion or provide unsolicited advice to me?

People don't tend to accept those who think differently. If you have a different opinion than most people, they will hate you for it and say that you are wrong, even though opinions have no right or wrong like they so claim. People will pull anything they can out of nowhere just to justify their own ideas and actions. It's not a matter of you being right or them being right. It's a matter of them not wanting to accept you because they don't like how you think. I understand completely. They only care about themselves.

Sounds to me like he was just trying to be a jerk. I would have said "Too bad they don't make a pill to make you a better person". I hate people like that but the truth is that it sounds like he wants to make you unconfortable. I don't care where you are from or who you are...that is just plain mean and rude what he said. I need to come and visit you so we can straighten these people out..lol.

For the most part, i think people accept for who i am. i try not to give anyone any false attitudes about myself. If someone can not accept me for who i am, that is just something they will have to deal with. it would not bother me, as much as it would bother them.1 person likes this

Sometimes there are people who really are rude and tactless, they don't realize that someone will get hurt for what they about to say but as long as you can hold your temper then try to be patient and ignore and prove them that you are not the kind of person they think they know. You don't have to say anything just stay quiet just like you used to and eventually they will realize that your a good person.

I think most people accept me for who I am. I have a sister who used to expect me to talk all the time. She used to ask me if I was mad if I wasn't in a talkative mood, lol
. She's not like this any more, though. However, I'm not around her that much any more, I hate to say. I'm a little more talkative than I was when I was younger. It's really none of your brother-in-law's business why your stomach is in the shape it's in and it was rude of him to say this to you. I would be afraid to take any kind of pill like this, myself. What is his stomach like? Maybe that's a good way to look at it, lol.
