Personally, I fit excatly in the Northern European model. I prefer having just a few real friends, as many people to like me or at least accept me as possible, and avoid being disliked or disapproved. It makes me too uncomfortable to have to cope with people wo I know hate or dislike me. I would prefer living with 99% of people having no positive or negative feeling toward me and the remaing 1% who like/love me, than a world where even 55% love me and 45% hate me. The latter is too insecure and disturbing emotionally.

Yes, it's the same for me either, so I'd say the Northern European model fits nicely

I certainly wouldn't mind people liking me, but dealing with people I know hate me would be uncomfortable.
