After all, most of us want to learn how to become more likeable. We can't imagine that any person would actually want to be unlikeable on purpose. The truth is that there are some people who really are unlikeable. You have probably met a few people who are unlikeable. Maybe you worry that you are unlikeable yourself. Maybe you worry that other people don't like you.
There are many ways in which people can be unlikeable. Sometimes the reason that people are unlikeable is because they are doing something wrong in the way they interact with others. These people may be too self centered to realize what they are doing wrong. They don't realize that they have some unlikeable behaviors, so they keep on being unpleasant to others.
Chances are that if these people realized they have some unlikeable behaviors, they might change. After all, by changing some unpleasant behaviors to pleasant ones, these people would become more likeable. Once they became more likeable, they would probably end up having a lot more friends. Most of us want to have more friends. We especially want to have people in our lives who care about us, and who value our friendship in return. When people have unlikeable behaviors, they end up having very few friends. They end up being lonely.

Over the years, I have come across a few people who actually took pride in the fact that nobody liked them. For some reason, the fact that nobody liked them made these people feel "special". These people actually seemed to believe that the reason nobody liked them was because they were superior. They had talked themselves into believing that they were alone and disliked because they were better than anybody else. Sadly, the more these people thought they were superior to everyone else, the more they were disliked by everyone who met them.
