We might has well all admit it, we want people to like us. YER!!

You may here someone say: "I don,t care whether people like me or not". But when ever you here anyone say that, lets face it what a load of crap.

I think one of the deepest drives of human nature is the desire to be appreciated, the longing to be liked, to be held in estem, and to be a sought-after person. (God going a bit deep there and sounding like a priest or something, where did that come from?) LOL!!

But seriously!! what do you do to get people to like you???????

I always find that being yourself helps. And if they don't like you for that, they aren't worth it.

so very very true!

You can't make people like you, end of

^^^^ Agreed.

If theres one thing I have learned from relationships is that most of the time I tried to be something I'm not...... I agree with the others the best thing you can do is just be yourself!!!

I never try to falsify myself to make somebody happy. I just don't see the point.

I be who I am, and not many people like that. I'm not horrible or anything, it's just Southampton girls seem to Judge on looks.

Think that's bad?

Most people hate me. They think i'm a right bitch, and that i'm anti-social.

Look at it this way : If people don't like you when you're yourself, why should they like you when you try to be someone else?
You can't make anybody like you, but you can make sure that when they like you, they like YOU and not something you pretend to be.

i find that I have 2 sides 2 my personality -

I have one persona at work and a different one at home.

I have to be a specific way at work in order to succeed, however at home and around friends i am not as extreme.

People tend to either like me or dislike me - there is no middle ground....


in order for me to like you?? - be honest, upfront, speak your mind - be credible

you cant do anything specific to make people like you, because in the long run it is not you they like but your persona that you have put up.
All you can ever do is be 100% true to yourself, keep your self respect and go out and be yourself nothing less nothing more. if someone does not like you for it then they are not the kind of person you shoulod want or indeed need in your life.
No.1 rule in life never try to live up to others standards because you will always end up in deep water, be who you are and bloom

for me you have to be yourself, and i love hearing someone talk about someone they are passionate about, i find that you tend to see that person in a different light. and you also see another side to them that they may not normally show.

Just found this?

BE A GOOD LISTENER so you truly understand what others say to you. good listening ears earns genuine respect and admiration, and is one of the secrets of popularity.

HAVING SOMETHING TO SAY. Boring people make boring conversation.

EXPRESS YOURSELF WELL. Use colourful, descriptive language. Make your conversation sound interesting.

APPEAL TO THE EMOTIONS. There's a wise saying: The head never hears untill the heart has listened.

The art of good communication so thay say.....Sort of makes sense to me but not sure about the using colourful descriptive language?
