maybe because you are good at telling jokes!!well,i am not at all good at telling jokes ,i can turn a seemingly funny joke into a stupid one,people sometimes laugh to be polite(i can see through that),so now i limit myself to forwarding funny e-mails.I am monotonous girl. Whether I'm happy, angry or excited, I sound almost the same.. My friends enjoy my company partly because they enjoy teasing me and seeing my reactions. It's my reactions that make them laugh. I wonder why...

Hello riyasam!!! You seem to be a very interesting person, so that your friends like your company. Specially the guys really enjoy the company of the girls who react on teasing and seeing their reactions. I hope you certainly meant the guys too, don't you? I am also a fun loving guy but I joke among certain friends only. I don't think anyone dislike me. There are friends who enjoy my company and some friends are neutral. I don't get used to joking with someone easily. But once if I started joking, then there is always joke and joke in the relation. I can remember many times, I have annoyed my friends with my silly funny words. Sometimes, I like to keep on talking continuously and irritate the friends, well then they laugh and laugh and then also beat me lol...I always feel happy when some one laugh with my funny tellings. I use funny philosophies mostly and make friends laugh... But I am not always like that. Sometimes I can go on talking really interesting but sometimes my mind become very much dull and cannot really talk interesting. I am always friendly with every one and that's why may people not enjoy very very much my company that they wonder if I were with them. But that is sure that they would really enjoy when I am there with them.... Keep posting riyasam...

no wonder my hubby always keeps on annoying me!!(he tells me he likes to get the reaction from me!)and when i tell a joke i always forget the punch line.

So what happens is that you begin to tell a joke, you forget the punch line and you yourself become the matter of joke and your reaction. Well next time when you tell the joke, remember the punch line before starting the joke...Good luck...

I find you funny and serious both. May be sometimes serious when the situation demands otherwise and vice versa. LOL... I would like to believe that I am very adaptable and can adapt to different kind of people. i live my in my own terms and can be open with most unwanted of stuffs. I prefer not to hang out with people who are pain to me. My sense of humor betrays me sometimes but i am getting better.

I think we are a bit alike if it's true what James says; being funny without trying. Sometimes my responses can be funny because they are unexpected, creative or downright awkward . They allways have an element of surprise. That's my way of making jokes, I am not good at the regular "a man walks into a bar" type of joke.

I think it's because I'm loyal to them. I only have a few good friends and I am loyal to them no matter what. I am also a very honest person. My motto is "Don't ask questions unless you REALLY want to know the answer". I may do wrong things and hurt people in my life (not on purpose) but I am honest about it.

I think people like me for what I am. I am a humorous person and love humor and laughter is my best asset. I am often called a laughing budha just because I can laugh uncontrollable at someones humor. This has a magnetic force on some people who love to be in my company as they feel happy with all the laughter that I generated in their presence. The other thing is I refuse to give hate a change to get even its foot in the door of my innermost emotions. For that is a poison that quickly vitiates a character and causes the personality to degenerate. Since I am in a service business I learn to like people openly and honestly and this makes me well liked by others that I am in contact with everyday.

you are not too nice to yourself, riyasam. I don't imagine that your friends think you are monotnous at all. And I believe they probably do enjoy teasing you. My friends do the same to me.....relentlessly. Guess we are pickable or something like that. I imagine they really like you because you are nice and fun to be around...they love you. That makes more sense to me.

I am nice, gentle, down to earth person etc etc.. How is it riya, don’t you think that sree is boasting, ha ha. I know but I am just joking dear. I think you people can say my positives and if you want I can say my negatives. I don’t have patience, getting irritated very easily and very sensitive. I am trying to find out the positive side of others as we know that everybody have their own plus and minus points. It is a difficult question indeed riya I think I answered rightly.

Well, there are people who are enjoying with how other people react when teased. Some of them do like the reaction and some feel it is corny. LOL. Bu anyway, when it comes to liking and disliking? we can not do anything about it. We can not please all people no matter how we tried. I myself do not want to be a trying hard just to let other people like me. I just want to be natural, if they like me, I would be gald and if they don't fine!!!.. I just understand that people have different taste. So, we will accept that fact.

Well I guess people I know likes me because am good to them and am a very loyal friend. I also have to credit it to my being tolerant and patient to people. I can be w/ anybody; I mean I can easily adopt and adjust to a new environment and new company as am a very trusting person. I also heard people telling me am a good adviser. One thing too, am a very down-to-earth.

Hi there! I think it's my flexibility why people likes me. I can always get along well with everyone no matter what stage of age a person has. I have friends from teenagers to senior citizens and I always have good conversations with them. As to why people dislike me, well I don't know. It's not my problem anymore why they happen not to like me hehe. Ciao!

Yes! If we let ourselves be bothered why people dislike us, it will reflect on our personality and affect our relationship with others. If I come to know that a person dislike me, I just shrug my shoulder as if nothing happened hehe.

Maybe there is some charm or funny thing about your reactions! I know why, I also do have friends who are funny when reacting to jokes thrown on them. Well in my case I think people like me because of my good sense of humor. There is never a dull moment with me as they say.

the people that like me say they like that im honest and caring and funny.. the people that hate me i think they just dont like that im honest because some of them are the types that want to hear great things all the time and be lied to (and lie to others) to keep the fake happiness so when they want an honest opinion they really want a NICE happy opinion.. im mean im not rude but im a realist..

you must be a very nice person to be with. but i think and fear that they may abuse you for that. you should tell them when you feel that it is insulting already so that every one of your friends will know their limit in teasing you. some people tend to over do it and does not realize if their hurting some one..

Why do i think people like or dislike me?usually people like me because i am not that aggressive, i do not emit strong attitude that makes people insecure or afraid..that is what friends usually say and i easily smile and talk to people..but what makes them dislike me? often times its my persistence, like when i am in a seminar and it gets competitive between those who are present, i get to be so competitive too and i really stand out at times which makes people also get irritated or even insecure..hahahhaha weird but at times it gets like that
