One thing that might help is to lower your expectations of yourself. Are you a perfectionist? If you're like me, you have control issues. I want everyone to like me, but they're not going to just like I don't like everyone. It's hard to accept, but it's worth trying.
In some book, I read "Reduce the excessive demand you make of life and people in general." It helps me to read that quote.

Yes. I would say I am a perfectionist and have control issues too.
Your post makes so much sense. I want people to like me, but it doesn't always work. This makes me feel like I am not in control of things. I try to tell myself that I can't control other peoples' emotions or opinions of me.... like that movie Bruce Almighty.
Thanks for your post.
