I definitely fit into the same category as Southern Europeans. I would feel much more comfortable with the knowledge that I am disliked or even hated by a few people as long as most people like or love me. If I have a lot of positive support, I can usually deal with the negative more easily. Not everyone is going to like me, and that's something I have come to accept. But not having enough people like me would be difficult--for me, anyway. But then, I'm sort of a "pleaser" type, always seeking approval! Pretty pathetic ...

I'm from the U.S., and I guess my background is German, English, Scotch-Irish, Dutch, and a little Native American.
