I just realised that I don't think people will like me without being funny, hence have trouble if I can't express a sense of humour - usually sarcasm...

Does anyone else feel similar?
 
Fair enough. :)

I kind of see what you mean, but I think it's probably because it's just natural to have a sense of humour, however unconventional it may be. Are you talking about being funny to others specifically, or reacting to things and finding them funny?

But, on topic, people like me because I have a relatively fast wit, can give laughs, and I'm nice.

Pleasant personality traits make you likable. Not rocket science!

Pretty much all there is to it really. :)

Good question. Being funny is a skill, which could be a reason people like you.

But also, having the same sense of humour as someone can win brownie points
 
Probably same as above really.

I enjoy making people laugh, if they laugh i feel better about myself and so fourth.

The Elrazor course?

Why do people like me ?

Well you got 2/3 answers

1) You look good physically
2) You have a funny sense of humor whatever style it be, dry, sarcastic etc.
3) Usable: be it wealth, status, position, drug dealer etc etc.


I am the same i make a joke out of nealry everything except anything that could possibly offend, until i know the person for 10 minutes and i let it all slip out. I have been serious enough in my life so far, if people don't like it I Cba dealing with them

Generally I think it is my honesty. Initially people are often put off by my brashness - especially on here. Once they get to know me a little better though I think they appreciate it - especially people from here.
 
The question is not "Why do people like [me]?" but rather "Why do I not like you?" :p

Anyway, I don't need to say why people like me, because I'm not going to change. You either like me or you don't, and I'm not going to cry over spilt milk ;)

I can however, assume why people like me as without being insecure enough to address people's perceptions of me, I believe it is because I'm: confident, friendly, intelligent, charming, I'm not false and I'm just a generally nice person. I don't believe you can truly sum someone up in such a small quote though.

I'm just curious CBS - what exactly was this course about, or rather, what fuels this particular question? Are you attempting to see people's responses for another benign reason, are you attempting to validate something you were taught or are you just pushing the boundaries of intrinsic arrogance? ;)

I think im the same. Thats all i can do tho, as soon someone mentions that x relation died or that they split up with their partner etc, i have no idea what to say. If i cant be funny, i say nothing :/
 
They don't, because I'm a complete ****

Edit to add more content: people don't like me because I don't really like people—outside of a few anyway :o

Edit 2: although I tend to like more people on the internet than I do irl, so I'm not sure whether I convince myself that I dislike people to cover up for my own deficiencies or whether people are just better on the internet

I make TERRIBLE first impressions (usually), I come across as blunt and often rude in some cases with the stuff i come out with. But after that initial shock people tends to stick around and good friends with a lot of people.
