How I deal with feeling this way?

I have a terrible habit of behaviour which is losing me the trust and respect of people who are in my life. Specially when it comes to women. One minute I'm funny and hilarious and next minute I'm offending her. Even with male friends, I can sense that they don't take me seriously and most likely share not so pleasant things about me behind my back.

Lately I ve been reading a dating book and it covers a lot of things such as personality, attitude, self confidence and the more I read it the more I realise my own blunders. It's almost unbearable to read and learn more. Anyone that much of a dating expert? Is this kind of feeling normal. I want to keep reading but it's difficult. I guess I can't "handle the truth ".

    You can deal with it by slowly changing who you are. Let someone dear to you know that you've realized your mistakes and get them to tell you when you've "switched (start becoming abusive)." Then it's up to you to realize your mistakes and try to take control of the matter and stop the behavior. Try to smile or laugh at how you didn't mean to be that mean. Hopefully, over time that behavior would dissipate into thin air.

    Note: The sooner your friend tells you your behavior is changing the faster and easier it will be for you to go back to normal.

  • I think if you want to be good with people. Make them comfortable, you can do this by making them feel valued, listened to & appreciated. Basically though you have to respect yourself to respect other people
