You know the saying, we make time for whatever we value!” There's no better application of that than in friendship. If they're always too busy to spend time with you, help you do the littlest things, or encourage you, they don't like you. This is especially true if they create time to be there for other people.

They often display closed-off body language

Body language speaks volumes in daily human interactions. Fortunately, our bodies reveal much about us, even when we don't want to. So, if you ever suspect someone doesn't like you, pay attention to their body language. Closed body language, such as crossed arms, avoidance of eye contact, and forced smiles, can indicate their dislike for you.

They do not applaud your success

Are friends not supposed to be supportive? What happens if a friend is never happy with your achievements? They're obviously not on the same page with you. If a friend always seems indifferent or disinterested in your success stories, they're probably harbouring hate in their mind.

They avoid deep conversations

It's easy to make small talk about the weather situation, electricity outage, and your favourite TV show. Just anybody can discuss these topics with anybody. However, if someone genuinely likes you, they'll want deeper conversations than these. They'll occasionally bring up topics relating to self-belief, relationships, career goals, etc. If you notice someone consistently avoiding deeper conversations, there's a huge chance they don't like you as much as you think.

They'll always give a fake smile

If a person's smile doesn't look genuine, they may not like you. People are typically relaxed in happy relationships, and forced smiles are unnecessary. However, you must be careful with this one because it may also mean they're stressed or not in the mood to converse.

That's it, guys - we know how challenging it can be to find out people's real thoughts about us. But there'll always be pointers. Hopefully, the pointers show you your real ones so you can stick with them.
