Blog 2

It is hard not to care about what other people think about you because humans are social beings. If people talk bad about you or do not like you, it is hard to have friends. Humans also want to be liked by everyone and it feels good when you have friends that have fun with you and it feels good when someone says something good about you. It feels good to be liked and it feels comfortable to be with a group that likes you and feels the same way about things that you do. That feeling is hard to describe other than it just feels comfortable and natural. However you can not expect every one to like you and think highly of you if you do nothing to deserve it. You must control what you can to make people like you. Things like holding doors open, helping someone pick up something they spilled, and saying nice things about other people help you become a likable person. However sometimes there is nothing you can do. There are some people that will not like you for some reason and there is absolutely nothing you can do to convince them other wise. Most of the time, you can affect how people view you and how nice and kind people think that you are. Most people will change there first impressions if you show that you deserve it and that the first impression was a fluke and not how you really are as a person.
