Hi Guys - Is there something wrong wanting to be like by everyone ? Or is that being insecure in yourself ?

There is nothing wrong about wanting to be liked (that's normal and natural and it is uncomfortable when it doesn't happen)...it's when they don't like you as you are and not everyone does, when you get down on yourself because of that it becomes a problem. Hey if someone doesn't like you it's their loss and really no big deal. There is an old saying...You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

@riseofthemachine I've been there myself before...and my response to you is what I had to learn and come to terms with.

@riseofthemachine There is no way possible that you won't hurt or disappoint someone somewhere at some time...that is just a fact of life. Doesn't mean you shouldn't care and try to do it, but it is unavoidable and that is what you have to come to terms with.
