A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I feel like some of my family members don't like to speak to me, and don't like me very much. I guess when I was younger I wasn't as nice to them. Now I changed, and i'm much nicer now. However, when I try to speak with them now, they don't feel like they want to talk to me. Its like there the mean one now. What should I do?

lexilou agony auntIt will take time for them to realise you have really changed. Just continue to be nice and polite and in time they will stop waiting for you to mess up and accept you for the person you are now x

PeterPan agony auntMy first thought would be to reverse all the all of their preconceived notions on some behavior they would expect from you and do the opposite behavior. Now you know what it was they didn't like so it's up to you to figure out what those things are and demonstrate you have changed. To me, that would be best.

Good luck!!
