I want everyone to like me?

I want to be liked and or accepted by everyone, even people I don't like, regardless of how much I dislike them. If I find out a person doesn't like me, I get extremely upset. Is this normal?

    As your identity becomes more well formed, you care less about what people think and more about your own standards and personal goals.

    I think it's normal. We all go through it. You just need to have more self-confidence and accept yourself for who YOU are. It's literally impossible to please everyone, no matter how hard you try. The sooner you are okay with this, the happier YOU will be.

    Some people do due to poor self-esteem. This, more often than not, is an unrealistic goal. Until you learn to have a better view of yourself, you'll keep basing your happiness on other's views. You can't find true happiness with this.

    • I'm aware it's an unattainable goal. Everyone has haters, even God himself (ask the r/atheist community). I know it's irrational, but I worry anyway.

  • When you stop caring whether everyone likes you, then everyone will like you.

    Do you suck cocks to make people like you. If so, I could like you very much.

    S'all like: YOU BETTER LOVE ME!

    Nah, just joking! But here's one thing: Do to others that you want them to do to you. It's a bit confusing, but it's like this. If you accept the people who you like, they would like you back! Done! Ya gots tons of friends!

    I used to be like that when I was around thirteen. It's just a certain personality type.

    It's normal to want everyone to like you. But the truth is not everyone will like you, nor me, nor him, nor her.

    This is a self-esteem issue. I'd like to believe that we've all been there. You know it's wrong but you can't help it. My best advice would be to focus on yourself, realize that you're actually an amazing person and don't associate yourself with people who don't see that. Now if you're in middle or high school this is going to be tough, since it's hard to avoid people you're going to see for the next few years. But that doesn't mean it's not possible.
