Here's a secret, known by few, for many years if ever...

People - individuals - will either like you very soon, or they will not like you, ever.
In rare cases, people who do not like you, will do a sudden flip-flop, but this is quite rare.
Truth be told, most people will not like you, ever, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Except:
Know that this is the way it is, and conduct yourself accordingly. For nothing you can say or do, no behavior or simulation, will make the slightest difference. Because the only one you have any hope of controlling is yourself, and most people have a difficult enough time even doing that.

We'd probably all prefer to be liked. Insecure creatures that we are, it's easy to see why. We need it. And therein lies the problem. Need is almost always desire. And desire is our own biggest enemy.

The answer lies in liking yourself. Do you like yourself? Be honest. Do you really? If not, why not? Fix it. You can become what you admire. Becoming admirable in your own eyes, and a loyal friend to yourself, being liked by others becomes a whole lot less important.
"Squawk!" said the crow, and then made space.
