Not everyone will like you, despite any efforts you make to be likeable and friendly to all.

Also, desperation to make friends is easily detected by others.

@LukeTheDuke Yep. Both very astute statements.
I took far too long to learn this and had to go through so much to realise people don’t value you if you seem at all lonely.if you seem popular, exciting or self confident it attracts like a magnet@Tomorrow

@LukeTheDuke Just be yourself. That way you'll attract the right kind of people. :)
I do act myself, but not a lot of people like or get my humour, appreciate my sarcasm, share my values, enjoy sentimentality or nostalgia, or necessarily want to be my friend. I will never ever come close to winning a popularity contest. Which led me to another valuable lesson, I really have to like and value my own company first and foremost; and then if anyone wants to share time with me then that is a bonus. @Tomorrow
