Your question is your answer... in parenthesis.

Don't try so hard. That is where most people mess up. They try way to hard to be liked. Be real be yourself and in general just be what you believe to be a good mature person.

I don't know about true LIKE, but give away lots of money and you can have lots of 'friends' as long as the money lasts.

It's natural to want love, to want to be accepted and appreciated by others. There's nothing wrong with that. But certain things in life have a sort of "upside-down" nature to them, and this is one of those things. I turns out that the more you crave and need to be loved, the harder it is to get, and the more anxiety is associated with being loved. What helps is to distinguish love from need: the neediness is a symptom of our own self-doubt (or even self-hate, in extreme cases). There's an unconscious hope that with enough love from others, our own self-doubt would go away. But that doesn't work, it turns out that no amount of appreciation or being loved by others will make up for our own sense of being incomplete: it's a bottomless hole that can never be filled that way. What DOES work is to study our self-doubt and make friends with it: take it out to dinner, buy little gifts for it, and learn about where it comes from and how it works. To the degree that you can understand your own neediness, something remarkable happens: it begins to become less insistent and domineering. And then, the more one relaxes and realizes that the neediness is OK, and that in fact YOU are OK, something else remarkable happens: love becomes more plentiful and less anxious. That's upside-down-ness at work.

You can't be loved by everyone. Nor should you try. What you should try to do is love yourself. The love of those who really matter will follow naturally from your efforts. Those who don't love you don't deserve your time or attention.

you already said you don't want to change. so, don't. you can never be loved by everyone; nobody can. so, the best thing is just to try and accept that fact.

you must assess your personality, i.e the kind of personality you have. There is the eneagram which could be useful in your case.Please link to http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/ to find out the right strategy to get what you want.

Stop trying to get people to like you - and just let them like you or not, as they choose. The best people will simply flock to you, the ones you don't want will go away. Work to keep the friendships you have instead of expending your energy on getting new ones. This worked for me, by accident, my last year of high school. I got really fed up with trying to impress people and working so hard to change people's minds about me that I stopped caring; although I didn't become unkind, I was just myself, and treated friendship with equal amounts of friendship and didn't extend myself anymore than I thought a friend was willing to. For example (this is somewhat simplified) if I didn't think a friend would lend me $20, I probably wouldn't lend them $20. Equal friendship.. Of course, you have to extend yourself more than other people sometimes, and lend the $20 anyways, but you'll know when to reach out and when not to. :o) just be you, and the friends will come.

You can't be loved by everyone. Life doesn't work that way. And you can't really change who you are. You can change the window dressing, but not the substance of who you really are, and you should never try unless it is for you - only for yourself. The people who love you for who you are should be treasured, and the rest should be let alone.

Stop trying to make everyone like you. Concentrate on those whose opinion really matters...or else, you could go to the other extreme and make everyone hate you. that is often easier, especially if you are unwilling to change.
-
I dont think that it's possible to be liked by everyone ..even if you were someone you are not ... either wa, you are hated and loved at the same time .. that's the way it will always be ...
-
You cannot be loved by everyone. It is, literally, impossible. You cannot even be liked by everyone. People are all different... what one likes and dislikes is different than another. If you feel that you are not loved by someone you wish to love you, or feel unloved in general, you are not going to change this fact if you are not willing to change yourself at all. If you ARE unloved (I do not know if you are or are not), you might be doing something to cause this. Self-evaluation is always good and willingness to change is always good. I am not saying change everything, or even much, but if you wish a different reaction to yourself from other people, you shall have to change yourself to cause this changed reaction in others. If you truly do not wish to change anything, then do not. However, do not expect to get anything different than what you are getting.

Keep being you and stop trying to make everyone like you..its impossible. Be you and be happy with the people that like or love you for that. :)
