Is it normal to be afraid of being not liked?

Yep. Especially as teenagers.

yes, it is called insecurity

Im not sure if its called insecurity.. I am myself. Although what I forgot to mention is it’s only for adults that are in authority. like my school teachers, etc. Not with friends.

Brush your teeth and wear deodorant and all will be good!

Take up skateboarding or free style running. The sooner we get over our fear of falling, the sooner we learn to fly.

I think it is more normal than perhaps many people know. Wanting people to like you makes sense in that you’ll try to be an enjoyable person. Where it doesn’t make sense is when it impedes your social life.

I found what helped me was understanding that while it is nice for people to like me it wasn’t imperative. What matters is that some people like you and you’re being yourself.

It’s totally normal. I used to be so afraid of being accepted that I was not myself. Then I developed the ability to be myself and not give a damn what people thing, and I was a happier person. People will either like me or not. Up to them. I will be myself, and therefore a happier person.

People will like you and they will dislike you. Life goes on. Don’t let someone else change you, and dont worry about not being liked. “Worry is a waste of imagination.” That quote helped me, maybe you will like it too.

Well sure. Being liked is a pretty primordial desire. If the tribe doesn’t like you they might not come to your rescue when you need them.

It’s normal. We’re social mammals. Be careful, however – it can lead to some serious emotional problems.

Also, I’m a freak and I know that, but this character trait drives me fucking crazy and makes me nauseous when I see it in people. The stench of desperation and dishonesty that follows the insecure person around keeps me far away.

It’s normal and it isn’t insecurity. I am totally secure and confident (and not a teenager) but I still have this fear, even about my best friends. I even get paranoid that my friends are plotting to hang out without me behind my back. Just be extra nice to people and the feeling will fade, i bet!

We all want to be liked @QueenOfNowhere. It is perhaps more pronounced when we are younger though. Just be yourself, be caring of others and interested in them and you will be fine. As you get older and become more confident about who you are, you will be less concerned about whether people like you. It will probably still matter, but to a much lesser degree.

Sure, everyone wants to be liked. The trick is to love yourself first & then not give a shit about the “little people!” XD
