I really believe there are 2 groups of people in this world.

• There are are people who do not like you

These people have a judgement about you. This judgement (you are too old, too young, too thin, too fat, too gay, too straight, too mean, too happy, too silly, etc) helps them see themselves in a better light. It protects them from facing what is going on in their own relationship with themselves. For whatever reason they do not like you, it helps them to feel better about themselves. You can try as much as you want to get them to like you but in the end there is nothing you can do because it isn’t about you. It is all about them.

• There are people who like you

These people like for who you are. Maybe because they relate to you or maybe because they know they can learn from you. There isn’t judgement from these people, instead they focus on the qualities they like and what makes you, you. They have good intentions when they are around you. Right now they like you but in time, with trust, communication and a lot of laughter they will grow to love you as well. But that falls on you.

Which group are you going to focus on?

Or the bigger question, how will you get people to go from liking you to loving you?
