The need to be liked

I have a libra mars and venus.

It really bothers me when I thin/know someone doesn't like me. Even if I know I'm right and they are being a jerk. I try to work at it fairly even if I don't like them either.

I have noticed that other signs simply do not care if they are "liked" that much. Whereas for me I literally feel bad and anytime negative energy surrounds me it's really hard to balance back my feelings.

Does anyone else have this issue? And most importantly, how do you get over the need to be liked??

Thanks!

I don't think this is a Libra thing. I think it's a human response thing. I think at some point and time, when one finds out that someone doesn't like them, there's always some sort of negative feeling involved.

However, striving to make sure people like you is just piss poor self esteem, imo. Yeah, it sucks and people handle it differently. But you have some serious issues if you're striving to make sure everyone likes you. You're just asking for a life of misery because you're never yourself and living up to others' standards.

The only time I've ever had it bother me is when I liked someone, but they didn't like me back for some reason. It's like well shit, I think you're kinda cool... :/

...Other than that, who cares? You aren't going to have a very fulfilling life if you play door mat to everyone else's emotions and reactions to your presence.
