Why Don't You Like Me? and Why Don't I like You?

I’m hearing the question, “Do you like me?” frequently these days. The question comes from my 3-year-old granddaughter after she has done something, she knows she shouldn’t. An example, stuffing toilet paper in our water cups. When we reach for the cup to take a sip of water she says, “You’ve been pranked.” Then she asks the “do you like me” question.

You like to think that you outgrow the desire to be liked. But you don’t. Think about our social media posts. We still do wants those “likes”.

I read a great article called, “Why Your Brain Hates Other People… And how to make it think differently.”  BY ROBERT SAPOLSKY. It explains a lot about our likes and dislikes…here’s the link. http://nautil.us/issue/49/the-absurd/why-your-brain-hates-other-people
