i just dont know that everytime i try and make people happy it just turns out to be the opposite of that i.e instead of getting happy people gets more frustrated with me and starts hating me.But when i think about the reasons that why it is happening so i found that whenever a person starts judging people,then they have no time to love him...so what is ur opinion about these kind of wierd things happening in a person's life..!!

Good observation. When someone is taking the time to judge others they are not able to take the time to love them. If they loved them they would never have begun judging them. But you cannot be concerned about what other people think all the time, or you will have no time to love others. If you try to make evreyone happy all the time you will find yourself in a bind, because what makes one person happy will make another person mad or frustrated. So you have to make decision based on what you think is right, not for someone else-if it is just to please them. You can listen to their advice and think about it and decide what to do based on what will help you but you should never try to do anything solely for the purpose of their happiness without considering what you want. You can love people without trying to please them all the time. If they really love you they will respect your views and your decisions whether or not they agree with you.

I think it is not the case. You are misjudging yourself. It does,nt mean that nobody care you. Every person is doing his work. In this time you should need to concentrate on your work only.

Are you a happy person? This is where it starts. If you are generally a happy person who is enjoying life other people will be happy just to be around you. If you are going out of you way to make people happy they may distrust you. It is not a hard thing to bring joy or pleasure to someone else. What makes one person happy is not what makes another person happy. You can not force it.

You need to start out with examining your primary motivation... am I doing this to purely be nice? or am I doing this to get them to like me? You will have MUCH much MUCH much better results doing things out of pure motives... just to help someone else, just to make someone else happy than you will ever get from doing things with a selfish motive (to get them to like you) "selfish" is certainly not meant in any accusatory way here. simply as an accurate base description of the motive when trying consciously to gain the approval of others.
When you successfully adopt an altruistic motive base for the things you do... you will start to naturally feel better about your self, as well. (This good self-esteem, self worth, self approval is much MUCH much MUCH more attractive to people than the needy.. "I'm doing this so you will like me" aura) It is a wonderful feeling to like yourself. To have pride in your actions and feel good that you are capable of helping others (THERE IS ALWAYS someone worse off than you who can use a hand)
Start small if it's hard to grasp the idea. Help someone out with something that they could not possibly pay you back for. Simple things like an unsolicited, unexpected smile from a stranger. Hold the door for the person coming in behind you. Help a neighbor with packages, shoveling, sweeping, whatever. Start small and keep it going. People cannot help but like someone who is doing nice things just to BE nice. Be persistent and become that nice person. It really really REALLY works. Trust me. I know. ;-)
