    Honestly,as I get older,being liked is less and less important.I used to "go along to get along".Not anymore.Once,I delayed ending a relationship because I worried I'd hurt her feelings;I was miserable for so long but continued.The relief and the happiness I felt after it was over convinced me to look after myself first.At work,I couldn't care less if I'm liked(for the most part I am..I think :p ) as long as I'm seen as competent that is all I care about.

    You dont get people to like you.....you learn how to like yourself and then you can be confident that those who like you are worth your time, and those that dont arent in line with you anyway and arent worth your time. Its about you, not them.

    Exactly this. LIKE YOURSELF.

    Hey disagree-er...we shouldn't like ourselves? Just wondering where you're coming from with that click of a button? I really don't care, just curious is all.

    How many of you have actually heard from people you knew in high school or college and I'm not talking through social media. How many can say that you've never heard from those people ever again and it didn't affect your life one way or the other.

    In our small corners of the world we have a few really good friends. Some may be your family members.
    @bojack5 I like your take on it.

    I take it too personally, have an intense desire to know why people don't like me and most of the time can't work out why someone doesn't like me. It results in me not liking me.

    Yes, me, me, me. I saw it too lol.

    Ignore them and don't let it affect you. Its not worth even stressing about it.

    Once upon a time people not liking me did bother me. Nowadays, I approach it with a two word view..."their loss".
