Not always. I was told at a job interview once I should smile more because I come off as unfriendly.

I'm not even good at managing how I perceive myself.

No. Maybe because I don't care that much about it anymore

I’ve found that how people perceive me is all over the place. I don’t really care. I’m fine with who I am. If anyone has a problem with me, it’s theirs and not mine.

Not at all

No, obviously there doesn't exist that type of control. Unexplainable hate and attacks can come any time.

...I'm not sure thats something I can manage. I look after myself and try to do my best then let chips fall where they may.

At first. Then I lose control.

I hate to be disliked, so I try to be liked by everybody, so I guess I'm a little too "good at" (i.e., inclined toward) it.

No one will manage this not even the lord.
