I prefer to be like but don't need it.

I like your cooking

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Ebenezer Scrooge
The sins of man are huge
A neverending symphony
Of villainy and infamy
Duplicity, deceit, and subtefuge
And no one's worse than Ebenezer Scrooge
Though man's a handy candidate for Hell
I must admit life sometimes has it's brighter side as well

I like life
Life likes me
Life and I fairly fully agree
Life is fine
Life is good
'Specially mine, which is just as it should be
I like pouring the wine and why not?
Life's a pleasure that I deny not

I like life
Here and now
Life and I made a mutual vow
'Till I die
Life and I
We'll both try to be better somehow
And if life were a woman
She would be my wife

Scrooge

It matters somewhat to me. However, if they do not, nothing I can do about it....I'm just me and I like myself and don't plan any changes to make everyone like me, maybe modifications , but no changes

Depends on the situation. Generally I make and effort to be nice to people just because I like people to be nice to me but if they don't it doesn't exactly ruin my day. If you are and individual not everyone is going to like you.

not really....I settle for respect

I really don't care if people like me or not.

It is a good question. It caused me to think. Kudos. I must have some brain cells that still try to think. Let me look at the question, again. I forgot what it was. Oh, yeah. From scrolling down I find that when people don't like me it causes me irritation and paranoia. I wonder why they don't like me if they don't. I could get lost in thought. I guess is their choice if they don't like me. I would say more of a want for them to like me than a need.
