Do you ever feel like..

[SugarKane]

You should have a sign stamped on your forehead saying 'LIKE ME!'

What I guess I mean is, do you constantly seek the approval of others, and worry whether or not they like you? Or do you genuinely not care, they can take you as you are?

[inkyspider]

I am exactly the same.
I'm always seeking approval and am extremely over-sensitive about anything.
I always say i don't really care, but, yeah.
Anyway, i've been told it has to do with low self-esteem.

[_plastic]

^Same and i keep saying also screw all as if i acer But deep inside i care!
Thats no good

[tweety pie 84]

yeah completely. I go to extrodinary lengths to get people to like me. Its so exhausting and stressful so i sympathise

[Starless]

For me it depends on the people . For the most part I genuinely do not care what people think of me. I just am who I am and let people decide for themselves if they like me or not. The way I see it, they will either like me or they wont, and really unless I want to change myself, there is nothing much I can do about that. With people I know and care about though, I do care what they think, and can be pretty sensitive.

[crazykat]

Yeah I feel the same way. I am always forever seeking the approval of everyone else

[Psiren]

I constantly seek approval and reassurance.
Thing is, although I do that when someone picks me out to say something for example if I get an award in school I shrug it off and I don't like it.
It's weird, like I need the approval but I hate making a fuss of doing well.

I'm just strange though.

[raistlin]

There are a few people that I respect a lot and want them to like me. But anyone else, I don't care, they can take me how I am.

[ChrisG]

Yes yes yes yes YES!

[sazybel]

KatieFrank I definatly agree with you I hate people knowing that i've done something well but i need to know if i've done something properly and i always feel i failed if i did something wrong or if i don't have some random thing someone wanted and i should have thought might be needed like tissues.

i think there are very few people who dont care. even if theyact like they dont.

personally i strive for approval fom others. i want to please others more than i want to please myself.

[SugarKane]

I know what people mean about not liking it when you actually get positive attention! And never believing it when people tell you that they or someone else does like you. Not believing that you could ever possibly be likeable or liked! Hmmph, to it all, anyway, it sucks.

[J.K]

I'd agree, most of the time all I really want is for some one to like me and say it (or the much chased after "I love you").

[Lex]

I used to really need people's approval...but I guess it's gotten to the stage now where I know it's not too likely to happen so I am, turely, beyond caring! The stamp thing would be a good idea though...
