More often then not, this boils down to the greatest common denominator. There's something you do or the way you look at things that is generating hostility. Just looking at your reply to the other comment makes that clear. While all of their suggestions seem obvious to you, you don't have to reply the way you did. Obvious contempt won't get you far socially.

I don't have a huge social network, but I have plenty of people that think favorably of me. My trick is to be kind. Sure sometimes people try to take advantage of me, but they're easy to spot and avoid.

Only the worst kind of people make enemies of those living a life of kindness. It's not always easy, but I think it's worth the effort.
