Today I talk about learning to like yourself, and also why you have to like yourself before others will truly like you.
You want others to like you so that you can build the types of close friendships that will lead to you having a better social life!
One way to like yourself is to be proud of yourself:
Take a minute to think about what you have accomplished in your life. What skills or traits do you have that not many others have? Have you persevered thru tough times? Are you proud of your career accomplishments?
It’s important to think about the things that make you proud of yourself in order to lay the groundwork for having a sense of pride and self-esteem in yourself.
You should capture some of these things in your mind so that you can feel generally positive about yourself. Think about these things and remind yourself of these things on a daily basis.
It will boost your confidence over time. And this confidence can make it easier to approach and connect with new people.
This self-confidence in turn allows you to be more authentic with people. It allows you to let your true personality really shine. Confidence can make it easier to approach and connect with new people.
Confidence is the key to all success. Your best personality skill is being you.
You can join common interest groups such as meetup groups.
If you find that people aren’t interested in what you have to say, then they aren’t necessarily the right people for you.
You have to believe that you can reject people just as well as they can reject you.
Liking yourself means also that you don’t rely on others to like you or validate you.
Liking yourself means that you're less likely to seek constant approval or change who you are to fit in. You'll have a sense of independence and won't rely on your friends to fulfill all your emotional needs.
You can handle rejection, disagreements, and conflicts in a healthier way because you like yourself and you know your worth is not dependent on how others view you.
When you like yourself, you are able to maintain healthy boundaries in your relationships.
When you like yourself, you naturally attract good people into your life.
Liking yourself can improve your communication skills. When you're comfortable with who you are, you're more likely to express your thoughts and feelings clearly.
In order to like yourself, change the way you talk to yourself and treat yourself.
No more standing in your own way.
Quote from Daniel Chidiac in his book, “Who Says You Can’t?, You Do”:
People obsess over someone they just met, or think they like someone they don’t even really know. We then crave attention from them, and being ignored by the only person you want attention from is one of the worst feelings. We have all felt it! But when you look deep enough, you realize that the only person you are really craving attention from is yourself.
