I guess I still don't get the connection between seeking approval or having a wide circle of friends and being hated/disliked, unless that sort of behavior naturally cloys at some people and you end up a vulnerable target for everyone else's insecurities. Although there are plenty of cases of course where that isn't the inevitable result.

At any rate, I suppose I'd also fit the Northern European type since while I can almost completely ignore being disliked, particularly if I know the reasons behind it, having only a handful of close friends and confidantes is much more satisfying and easier to keep happy.
