The Introverted Misfit Podcast: Connection & Communication with an Awkward, Introverted Twist

How to Be Likeable Without Being Fake (For Autistic/Awkward People)


Listen Later

The concept of being “likeable” is a sore spot for many misfits who don’t really fit into what’s considered normal social behavior, including myself at one point in my life. It can feel like you are putting on a performance for people just so that they will want to be your friend, which of course is not a great feeling to have about yourself.

In fact, some people are so fed up with putting on this performance that they have chosen a life of seclusion and emotional withdrawal because they have been so scarred by social exclusion, rejection, and even outright bullying, for simply behaving in a way that’s natural for them.

I even did a poll on Facebook among neurodivergent adults on the autism spectrum asking what their initial reaction was to the phrase, “Be more likeable,” and the general consensus was not great.

This episode is dedicated to all of you misfits who want to learn how to be “likable” without feeling like a fraud. You’ll learn my 3 best tips for being someone that people enjoy being around without feeling like you are constantly performing for people’s approval, specifically neurotypical people.
