I like people. I want people to like me. But I’m very shy and sometimes very quiet and sometimes people have taken that as if I’m a snob and even a nasty person.

I’ve also made a lot of mistakes (mostly mistakes that most people would call “trivial” - Papa Bear and a few friends who know me well know that I’m kind and loving...) over my rather long life and it’s hard sometimes not to ruminate on those and beat myself up harshly.

How do I become a “better person”?

How do I become a more likeable person?
