Do people actually like me for me?

Only you can answer that. One place to start is: "Do people know you?" It's rarely as simple as yes/no. They probably know part of you - what parts? What have you kept hidden? They may truly like you for the parts they know, but of course, they can't really comment on what you've held a secret. If you're asking whether or not everyone secretly hates you - it may help to consider the sheer amount of effort and time it would take for everyone to continue to pull off this lie. It's most likely people actually like you when they say and act like they do. If you don't like someone, it's really simplest and most time-efficient to just not hang out with them, not go out of your way to talk to them or do things with them, etc.... it's most like that, if someone says and acts like they like you: they like you.

Of course they do! I don't think there's a single person that everyone loves, but I'm sure that everybody is loved by someone! You are loved, never forget that

It's highly likely. You need to make sure you like yourself though, so find positive things about yourself. If you're confident about yourself people are more likely to like you.

That is a hard thing to answer because I don't know the people but I understand your question. In my life, I have had a lot of people not like me for me because they liked me for my families wealth. This causes distrust in friends and can be detrimental to a friend group. My one suggestion that I have found out is that time will tell all and if you are suspicious of anyone, do not exclude them but just try to not share to much to them. Hope that helps!

I always try to be myself. If I try to be someone else, what's the point? I'd rather have someone like or dislike me for exactly who I am, than gain a friend or relationship being someone I'm not.

You'll never know if people like you for you. The better question is do you know who you are? Do you like you for you?

People who are your true friends will like you for you. The people who don't like you for who are, are not worth your time. You deserve to surround yourself with people who truly love you for yourself.

You can observe people over time and view their true intentions. I am seeking true connections with people who will accept me, but it isn't easy with so many pebbles to go through before finding the diamonds

You know a person likes you for your honest to goodness self when they do not care about how you act, speak, look, or do unless it is hurting you. When you do not feel pressured from a person to change who you are to the core to please them they like you. When you can be comfortable in any situation with that person and it doesn't matter if you look a little homely they like you. When you can express your feelings without them being thrown in you face they care for you.

Yes, of course. It may feel like no one does, but you just have to find the people that will and do like you for who you are. I know its hard making friends, but your life will change if you find the right ones that accept you for who you are. Good luck :)
