how do I get people to like me?

As a child, I was the one person in the family to speak out about the dysfunction, leaving me, of course, as the black sheep. I understood what it meant to feel left out, and I never wanted anyone to feel this way. Through this lack of sense of belonging in my blood family, I had a way of navigating and understanding people around me that brought them together. I never fit into any one particular group in high school, and I ended up somehow weaving many of the groups together. I think by my junior year I was standing in a group of preps, jocks, nerds, skaters, druggies, and gangsters, all smoking a joint, playing hacky sack, and enjoying each other's company, understanding each other, and loving each other in the best way we could. Over time, I have realized that the more I respectfully do not give a fuck what people think of me and reside in this way of being, in my truth and authenticity, the more I attract people with the same energetic imprint of love and understanding. On this path, I had to let go of many friendships that weren't serving my higher self, some of which actually remagnetized back to me in a more mature and authentic way. So my advice to getting people to like you is to just be fully yourself, love yourself fully, all images and ego personas, do not condemn any part of yourself, and allow all of who you are to come with you on your path in a more integrated way to serve what it is you desire for yourself and people around you. Derive your love and belonging fron the inside and watch your life magnetize what it is you need or desire. Here is a professionally taken picture of me in my Nebraska midwestern trucker archytypal element. We are moving from an evolution of survival of the fittest to the survival of archetypes, memes, and stories that hold the most truth and heart. Have a beautiful day, love. I love you exactly as you are. BIGGEST of hugs.
