Maz, there is nothing shallow about wanting to be liked - I think it's perfectly natural. I reckon some of us have just fought against the instinct so hard we haven't got it anymore;)

If i like someone i respect them, there are some people i do not like much but i have respect for who they are, we are all different.

i think respect and liking go hand in hand..

i do not like unrespectful people ... hope that makes sense...lol

Cor Rose you do think of some mind bogglers ! and all while chopping mint lol

I tried picking some mint but didn't come up with any witty answers

I like to be liked and believe that often like and respect do go hand in hand, but I have liked a friend because she was witty and funny but I'm afraid I didn't have much respect for her. Needless to say that lack of respect did eventually see the friendship drift apart.
If I can't be liked then I hope that I can claim some respect as a person. I do respect people for several reasons who I do find that I can't like.

lol Uzzi, I think too much! The mint sauce was lovely though ,on new potatoes from the garden :))

Very similar experience with a friend myself ,so I know what you mean . I have in the past probably been 'too nice' when I really shouldn't have been , hoping that someone will like me, but it doesn't work out that way really. So now I would rather people respect me I think, even if they don't like me lol.

I am what I am - I am my own special creation.
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation.
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride in - my word,
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn, `til you can say:,I am what I am"

I am what I am, I don't want praise
I don't want pity - I bang my own drum,
some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle,
Why not try and see things from a diff'rent angel?
Your life is a sham, `til you can shout out:,I am what I am"

I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck - sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit:
One life, so it's time to open up your closet.
Life's not worth a damn `til you can shout out:,I am what I am"

I am what I am, am what I am needs no excuses.
I deal my own deck - sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
It's one life, and there's no return and no deposit:
One life, so it's time
