Does your sense of being unlikeable have an impact on your self-esteem or lifestyle? To paraphrase something I heard about these things, it's only a problem if you think that it's a problem

Anyway, I second the recommendation of the Luminosity sequence, also this workbook; it covers a lot of the same material as talk therapy would but you can work through them independently, without the need to impose on anyone else.

yeah, that's why I brought it up, it is a problem. Because I'll spend time being very unhappy that nobody "really" likes me, and sometimes do stupid things to seek approval. Thanks for the link.
