You want people to like you. I get that. It’s human nature to want people to like you. But here is what you really want: you want people like you, to like you. That is what you should strive for. After all, as the late and so freakin’ great George Carlin once said, “Anyone who drives slower than you is an idiot, and everyone who drives faster is an maniac.” So just focus on forging relationships with the people who are going just your speed.
