In this post, I talk about how navigating your dating life with an attitude of “I want to be liked” is going to lead you to nothing but misery and sadness.

It’s fine to WANT to be well-liked. We evolved that way for survival.

But it’s not going to work to our advantage if we use that as a basis for interacting with others.

We need to start from the other end---where we mind our business, get our money, and pursue our purpose. Then, we live out our lives genuinely and authentically.

Ironically, this will make us even more well-liked.

You can’t, won’t, and shouldn’t want to be liked by everyone. That’s literally not possible, and it isn’t necessary.

How do you change this mindset? You need to reprogram your habits.

Whenever you’re tempted to feel sorry for yourself and think “nobody likes me,” you need to refocus, and remember that that isn’t how it works.

Start building your tribe. Start leaving a dent in the universe. Start helping people and pursuing your life’s purpose. Whenever you’re tempted to feel like nobody likes you, work on something that’s going to make the world a better place. Then, because sociality is important, start cultivating the potential for tribe-building by being around a ton of new people and being genuine, authentic, and confident around them.

This will make you more well-liked than you have probably ever been liked before! We just don’t get to sit around and complain about it. We need to take action and make it happen.

The truth is that we must strive to self-validate.
