I believe the key to being loved is by first loving yourself.
I enjoyed reading your post. Your points are great. But I see likability to be judged from the inside. You can't learn how to be likeable. You must actually be likeable. I would offer that the only way is to first like yourself.
Great post. Thank you.
I agree! When a person does not love them selves they can't expect other to find them likable.
