”You’ll be liked by everyone but loved by no one.”

Avoid sitting around waiting for an invitation and be willing to initiate social interactions and events. If you want to spend time or do something with someone, go for it.If you don’t ever initiate social interactions, others may believe that you aren’t interested in their company.

Always Assume Initiative

When you consistently express your honest opinions, you’re bound to come across people who completely disagree and run the other way.That’s a good thing, because you can tell pretty quickly who will be sticking around, and those are usually the people who you can bond with.It’s better to opt for honest communication and a quick rejection than dishonest communication and a gradual rejection.

Rejection Is A Tool 

Gradual rejection is when the rejection occurs later on in a relationship and is usually between two people are incompatible, but afraid of communicating honestly.They begin to get frustrated and bitter over their fundamental differences that were never sorted out at the beginning, which often results in a lot more pain.E.g. two people getting into a relationship, only to breakup later down the line because of their differences.

Gradual Rejection 

If you’re interested in forming deeper relationships with others, you have to get over the fear of voicing opinions or being controversial.If you’re always agreeable and afraid to speak honestly about things you care about, you will be perceived as nice, but almost no one will know who you really are.Being afraid to talk about your passions and opinions or to ask questions about things you’re curious about is essentially concealing your identity from others and making you difficult to trust or bond with.

Honesty Is The Antidote

A lot of people have a difficult time finding others who share their hobbies, interests, and opinions.This is because they tend to only look for people in the most general of places.To increase your chances of finding others you can connect with, go to places or events where people who share your interests and values are.E.g. going to church if you’re a Christian, or joining a sports team if you’re passionate about a sport.
