For others or for yourself?

Will you work on trying to change yourself if people dislike you?
Does putting an effort in trying to make people like you means being fake? Does that mean not being yourself?

One needs to learn the difference between bootlicking, and thinking for others. By bootlicking you are constantly pleasing someone for your own benefits. But for putting yourself in others' shoes, it's totally different. Sometimes we need to think for ourselves, yes but for others too. There's a need to find a balance.

Anyway, I feel lucky to be blessed with the sense of knowing if people will like or hate what I do. Some people thought it was common sense, but no. There are still many who do not have this ability. They do things and didn't know that people hated what they're doing, so they continue. End up getting hated by people without knowing why.

Many times we face this question "why change yourself for others?"
Well, if you think what you're doing is right, then don't change. If you have doubts on what's good or bad, ask. Listening to advices will not cause you any harm. If what your friends says make sense to you, take it in and work on making yourself a better person. Don't think that changing makes you lose your true self, it doesn't as long as you are improving yourself.
We all want to be a better person, more likable and approachable. It's not for others but yourself.
Keep upgrading yourself, in your character, personality, work and whatever whenever you can. This way you can most likely live a better or easier life too.

Goodluck, with loves ^_^
