      being insecure is not an unlineable trait, literally everyone is. A unlikeable trait to replace that would. be "insecure people who only talk about how their insecure" sometimes it can be awkward especially when you don't know how to comfort them (like most people, or at least me)

      Also, if that is your perspective it would have been helpful to provide us with a practical alternative. Disagreeing with a statement is ok. Offering a practical alternative with your remark would offer something to this discussion.

    one unlikable traits of me would be the lack of social interest. often i just don't feel like i want to know and speak with someone so i'm closed off and look unapproachable (i have a rbf too), but i'm working on it because more than often is all caused by me not feeling worthy enough. Also I'm an introvert and i don't have the 'skills' for smalltalk but i would die to become good at it. it really stresses me out when the convo doesn't go smooth

      you took the words right out of my mouth. i can just be myself with really close friends and be comfortable but (especially at school) i can become introverted and i make no effort to socialize, mostly cuz i'm tired and because i'm discouraged by the fact that i think that people already don't like me. most conversations i have are dry with other people, i don't know how other people do it. they know exactly what to say to encourage or make others laugh and then they just become friends. i'm also insecure and am constantly seeking for the approval of others. so yeah thats my mini vent lol

    I think one of my unlikeable traits is that I am not funny. I can't make a joke, and if I were to make a joke, it will be awkward and the response was not like the response to my other friends. But I think I have accepted that fact. As long as I still have a sense of humor, I can feel that my friends joke are funny, I think it's fine to not be able to make some joke. It's not like I take live very seriously, I do make a joke sometimes, but the only person who will laugh at it, is me :)

    What I loved the most discussed in this video was when she said the more she likes herself and approves herself, the more relaxed she feels because she doesn’t seeek approval from others. I resonated with that so much but still struggle to stop worrying if everyone likes me or lot. I also love how she said the right people will attract as long as she loves herself because she is deserving of the right respect and love. From my personal experience, I realize that I kind of “find others” to talk to intimately when I don’t like myself at that time in my life…because “seeking approval” intimately makes me feel better. No wonder why my relationships haven’t worked because I haven’t learned to demand the most respect and love…as I haven’t learned to respect and love myself quite yet. 🥺

    We often dislike others who exhibit behaviors that show us negative traits of ourselves we don't like and actively repress. It's an aspect of the reticular activating system. When we examine ourselves, we then examine others to the same standard. The same is true in reverse. When we want to cultivate positive traits, we'll admire those people who already exhibit them.

    I tend to end in similar situations like the one that you described in 6:33. I'm also a very patient listener and a lot of people used me as an emotional dumpster. The funny thing is that I don't even do it to be liked, I just sit and listen hoping for the person to not take such a long time, and a lot of people end liking me very much as a byproduct of my patience. Instead of straight out saying "I'm not doing this, here's a number of a good therapist" I just cut the conversation short by saying "I gotta go, I need to do X" or "I have to end the call because I'm late for Y". Maybe I should be more direct so I don't have to constantly make excuses to not sacrifice myself.

    I don’t like when I complain sometimes I do it just to start conversation, but I’m definitely going to stop that. I also really don’t like when I overthink so much but I love how I am forgiving and I love that I can listen to people

    When I'm with my friends or relatives in a store or buying something I forgot to ask they want something or just say to not take too much when they buy things they like.
    When I look deeply into it, according to behaviour psychology, it rolls down to my childhood that my father used say that things to me not because he don't love me but it was things that I wanted not what I needed and we didn't have lots of money growing up but I'm grateful from where I grew I had a loving family.
    Sorry for writing too long, it just came with the flow.

    My most unlikable trait
    -I don’t know how to be grateful for something. Like I really am grateful on the inside but I don’t know how to show it. Im not used to saying thank you that often which I really HATE about myself.
    That’s why I think people don’t really like giving me stuff or complimenting me too much. Which I completely understand. I just wish I can work on that❤

    a unlikeable trait abt me is that i tend to overthink tiny actions that usually mean nothing. also, i subconciously exclude myself from others (going on my phone, sitting on the edge of the lunch table) and then thinking that people AROUND me don't like me because of me excluding MYSELF. it's not that people don't like me, it's that i don't like me, i think.

    I guess I grew up in an environment where I was disapproved by a lot of people, especially my own family which hurt the most so I’ve saught validation from others and have relied on that to make me happy but am trying to realize everyday that it is I who can really make myself feel better on my worst days…nobody else.

  • @MmM20978
    @MmM20978 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I don’t have time to really wonder who likes me or who doesn’t, I live to the beat of my own drum and if others are jealous or whatever, take a hike are usually my thoughts. Life is too short to care.

  • @deuteriumtritium9700
    @deuteriumtritium9700 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The last point reminds of when I realised that a lot of my friends only liked me or were interested in me because I used to clown around and act funny all the time. I myself didn't really know how to socialize, so the best way I found to make friends was to make people laugh.
    When tough shit happens though, and I need to be serious or if I'm not goofing around like usual, they'll hardly listen or care about anything I have to say. Some seem visibly surprised that I could be serious like any other person.
    They avoid me till I start being all goofy again, and then suddenly they want to hang out all the time.
    3 years I've wasted, crying silently on multiple nights wishing I had someone to genuinely talk to. Trying to slowly open myself up to "friends". They just don't care. And I've wasted the past 3 years of energy and time trying make real friendships for what? I could've bettered myself and worked on projects and read books that would stay with me a lifetime. I even have some friends who derive some sadistic pleasure in ruining my mood by making snide remarks and being passive aggressive when the rest of them are not around, and then switching to an absolute sweet face once multiple people are present. The stress and sleepless nights I could've easily avoided by reciprocating their lack of caring would have made everything so much easier and better.

  • @dudupupu

    about the free therapist! i relate to it so much and it still is quite difficult for me to set boundaries. maybe it is my way of getting everyone to like me. i feel like if i listen to them and their problems and give them advice then they will think of me as a kind person or maybe like their comfort person. i guess i just want the emotional validation you get when someone labels you as their comfort person. i dont really know why i crave that but it does tend to take a toll on my own mental health a times. i feel like i hv noone to share my own problems with and i dont even feel comfortable doing so because i know what it is like to be on the receiving end of someone's trauma dump. i started journaling for the same reason and ngl it does help a bit. anyways idk what i was talking about but yes im so grateful to have found this channel. thanks lana!

    Two traits I have that I really feel bad for having are lack of spontaneity and of irony. I tend to be so conditioned by my social anxiety that I am way too insecure to put myself out like that. Neverthless, it is important to recognize one's own shortcomings, and try to fix them, especially if it is something that bothers you. I am in fact working of it xxx

  • @lindokuhleshandu4024
    @lindokuhleshandu4024 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I saw what you did there with Amy Schumer and Keanu Reeves🤣.
    Asking someone close to you to pinpoint an unlikeable trait about you is definitely a ballsy move! I don't think I've reached that level of self-confidence yet, but I have to try it because I can't think of an unlikeable trait about myself, but there are a couple of things I'd like to change about myself that are only known to myself, such as overthinking. As to how I appear to a lot of people, I don't really know, but I am very much aware that I am not everyone's cup of tea just like not every single person that exists is my cup of tea.
    Just like you, Lana, I have also felt like I have been liked for what I could do for others. At times, I felt like they were using me because they would not seek contact with me after they no longer needed me for anything. That's why I decided to start prioritizing myself above anything or anyone else and it was the best decision ever because I found out who actually liked me for me. You feel me?
    Make that part 2!

  • @norse_cat
    @norse_cat ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A big yes to the later points. I’m looked at as the always cheerful one at work, so when I’m not consistently overly upbeat, it’s perceived that I’m being distant or whatever. Pretty toxic and makes me feel resentful.

  • @AllyPenguin
    @AllyPenguin ปีที่แล้ว +5

    My unlikable trait that I am trying to curb is relating every story back to something I have experienced or know about, usually when someone hasn't finished their story. Most times it just takes away from the experience and now that I've been more cognizant about it, if I catch myself relating but not adding substance, I'll turn the conversation back to the other person with a question about their original story and let them complete their thought. It's getting easier to minimize the side bars by being aware of them when they happen.

    I was having a bad day, but your video really helped me feel better. I'm struggling to find friends in university because I'm socially awkward, and I'm in my 2nd year of uni already. I would say that my unlikeable traits are:
    -I always feel insecure
    -I always blame myself for anything bad that happens
    -I complain about how things are not going my way a lot without trying to fix them
    -I'm scared to start a conversation, and I don't know how to engage in a group conversation.
    -I feel so drained after being around a lot of people.
    -I think people judge me for anything I do.
    That's a long list. However, I just want to say that this video helps me to reflect on myself and appreciate my worth. You're truly inspiring!

  • @secret5567
    @secret5567 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Our school year started back in August, and I noticed myself coming out of my shell. You know, like being talkative, trying to make friends, engaging everyone in small talk, but I noticed that no matter how I try to be nice to them or approach them, I am not their main friend. My friends are more likable than I am, even though they don't talk a lot. They befriended our classmates with ease, and I don't know if it's because they're pretty or that people just like someone who is ladylike, quiet, and calm. I don't know what's with them that I don't have. Therefore, I've been searching, reading, and watching self-help videos to figure out if I am the problem or not. I am aware that I do have traits that are unlikeable, so I am trying to change that. Some days, I just feel insecure about myself because of that. I often think that maybe people are not my cup of tea. However, don't get me wrong about how I view my friends. I love them all equally, and I do not resent them. I just hope that at the end of the year, I will learn how to love myself and try to care less about what people think about me.
    I hope someone who knows me doesn't see this HSHSHAHA.

I've struggled so much to not become people's emotional dumpster (in fact, I still do at times) and it's hard to draw the line because I both enjoy hearing other people out but detest being drained. And I guess the reason you're liked by so many people is that you've just worked towards becoming a more honest and authentic version of yourself. Ig that's what I need to do as well.

I know I’m an exigent person, and I wish to be more flexible, to be more in peace. I’ve been told that I am judgy too… which made me sad, because I sure don’t want that for the people I love.
