Why do people like you?

I can't tell you why people 'like' me, or if they like me at all. :)

Sorry for not being helpful in this, number 5? of your 20 questions. :p
 
I'm not sure really, I'm not good looking, I'm often known as sad and sometimes even harsh.

But the other night one of my best friends said "I really don't understand how such a fantastic guy like you can be single and you deserve the best and shouldn't settle for any less" (that came from a girl btw so no gay jokes :p)

I can make people laugh and do so on a regular occasion, I'm always "down to earth" and honest with people, and I really enjoy being around my friends.

The question did once come up in our group about why we liked each other and a lot of people said that I'm a "good decent person"

Guess I am really :p :)
 
I can get on with people so long as;

1) They dont just sit there like a lemon and answer everything I say with "Yeah..." and "Cool...", they actually keep talking or talk about whatever they think about (some people I wonder if they think at all).

2) They know how to talk without arguing. That's the most irritating thing in a person, if they just seem to want to prove a point all the time! I've thrown right wobblies at people attitudes before now. If someone's sour I tend to get sour back at them :p

I think people I get on with like me because I try hard to get along with people, and to talk about things that will interest them. Sometimes it's a bit hard though, like when you really have nothing in common with someone and just sit there not saying much...

Liking someone is very much a two-way thing IMO, both people have to put the effort in to communicate and then generally I'll get on with them. Like I say, if someone doesn't put the effort in I get pretty frustrated. But it's not like they wouldn't like me, they just wouldn't have spoken to me much.

Also I'm good at admitting when I'm wrong, but only when it's not being forced down my throat... when me and "person X" comes to the conclusion that I'm wrong, that's cool - and I expect it to be cool with them if they're wrong too. But when "person X" is just going "You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong" I get pretty annoyed, and I'd expect them to be annoyed if I did that to them :p

So really people like me so long as we don't clash, because otherwise I don't think theres anything I do that makes me "unlikeable" to anyone :confused:

What's with all the odd questions recently?

I wouldn't say it is particularly a recent thing, I'm pretty sure the questions from cleanbluesky have been around as long as he has here.

As for the original question, I try not to get into self-analysis all that much, it involves thinking. ;) Also I tend to prefer other people to answer questions about me rather than trying to do it myself and look as if I might be bragging if it is positive. :)
 
Well I don't think I'm particularly likeable, it's just that I'm not very dislikeable. I rarely rub people the wrong way so if I spend enough time around someone they will probably grow to like me.

I don't think my sense of humour has a great deal to do with it. Generally I'm not that funny but occasionally I'll say something that makes my friends absolutely crack up. It's a bit hit and miss I suppose.

But there's a difference between having a sense of humour and being funny. Having a sense of humour is also about being able to take a joke and recognising when something is funny. It doesn't neccessarily mean you are good at making jokes.

Just in my life, most people who think they're really funny usually aren't.

When people are told that they are funny or are complimented or reacted to in that way, I feel its fairly safe to assume that they are, in fact, funny. Would you not agree?

Nevermind, I can't be bothered to even explain that statement anymore.

See above.

You don't have to be funny to have a sense of humour.
Maybe your problem is that you don't know the difference.:)
