Is it possible to be liked by everyone?

To attempt to be liked by everyone is to become liked by no one.

No it's not. As much as I am a people pleaser by nature, I realize that if you do try to do so I believe at least that you are contorting yourself so much that you can lose yourself in the process. I come by this naturally as my mother was very much a passive people pleaser too and the price can be a big one. I believe that there is a balance where one can be yourself and be respected by others while maintaining your true self...they may not agree with you but if you approach all whose paths you cross with fairness, respect & civility it will be returned to you.

Today, it seems utopian to me that one person could be liked by absolutely everyone. But for a while, I had this idea.
This question came up on my path. I would like to hear your opinion. If you don't want to comment, just vote in the poll, please.
Thank you.

The secret to being liked by everyone, or at least as many people as possible, is to pretend to be whatever it is that they like. Pretend to agree with them about everything they believe and conform to their expectations. Also, have allies and some power over others, so if anyone starts to dislike you or speak ill of you you can retaliate against them. Make anyone who might dare to oppose you too afraid to do so.

To some degree knowing others preferences and expectations and being "diplomatic" in the way you relate to them is a skill. Getting along with people is not necessarily a bad thing. However this is something that can be taken too far. Unless people like you for who you really are and what you really believe, there's a price to be paid for being liked, and it may be too high.

I Only a handful of people truly like me

One can try to be likeable, liked by as many as possible, and that’s a fine goal. But that likeability needs to be a part of your personality, and it needs to come with an acceptance that not everyone will respond to it.

Trying to be liked by literally everybody is stupid, will never happen, and will inevitably change someone for the worse the harder they try.
