I am not sure how important either one is but I would go with understood.
-
Both are important to me, but going have to say liked
-
I would rather be understood for who I am than liked for who I am not :)
-
Well, not many understand me, at least I think so. I rather be understood than liked.
-
Eh, I'd rather be liked. But it's not necessary. As long as my being is left alone. Problem with being understood is, people would know how to defeat me. I don't need that.
-
I think it's more important to be understood, but being liked comes in a close second.
-
I think it would be "to be understood". Since without knowing one's feelings what is the use of being liked.
-
I would prefer to be understood. Understanding usually brings respect and I would prefer to be respected.
-
Understood, because to me liked it just saying I like you because your cool or I don't like you because you don't smoke like I do. Understood to me is defining who you really are and know the person personally and you respect them and everything about them.
-
Understood. Wanting to be liked makes people change who they really are.
-
'liked' comes after 'understood'!
-
Understood. It does not worry me if I am disliked. Salaam to you. :-)
-
It is more important to be understood than to be liked because the potential for being liked is much greater if you are understood from the start
-
understood
-
its a good question to ponder upon, Im not sure if either are easy things to obtain, or percieve, I imagine one can be liked a whole lot easier ( if you are going to like someone) than necessarily understanding some one, I think to be able to understand some one, you need to know them to a very good depth.... so I guess to be liked might be more common.............:)
-
Understood. If you just want to be liked by everyone, you may end up being way too fake for your own good and cause people to not trust you at all. Therefore, that would turn into you NOT being liked. At least if you're understood, you may have respect and people will think you actually MAKE SENSE.
-
I too, like Mrs. Cleaver, would rather be liked for who I am which would require being understood.
-
understood b/c i might still be liked if i'm understood
-
Well, I'd rather like myself , cause I'll be lying if I said I understand me.
-
Understood for sure. I cant stand it when I don't understand someones way of thinking....so, I am sure there are othere that feel the same way. good Q++
-
If someone takes the time to understand me, there has to be a smidgen of like in the equation. So, for me I would rather be understood.
-
I think you need to be understood in order to be liked!
-
It is more important for me to be understood than to be liked. My being like is very shallow, if I am liked without being understood. If I am understood, then people will know the real me and will then know my values and I stand for in life.
-
Let's see... being liked generally attracts understanding, not to mention it can bring love, wealth, protection, influence, happiness, fame or pretty much any earthly desire. I'm not sure it necessarily works the other way around. I understand the fears that make greedy, jealous and negative people the way they are, but I do not like them. I'm not really interested in helping them out with anything. Being liked seems to win out here.
-
Since I've not cared much about being "liked", I guess I do put more importance on being "Understood". Being liked is gravy: being smart, logical, concise, all those things get the job done, help you survive. Being liked is an ideal. Being understood is cooperative and collaborative.
-
I'm going to opt for liked - I don't hold out much hope of anyone ever understanding me.
-
I'll go for being liked...because i'm an intricate person and it's very hard to understand me. I wonder how my partner deals with me :)
-
no idea. i am a likeable person when i am in a good mood, but that is very unoften (if that is a word). and, i am understood by no one. i guess it depends on how you live your life.
-
That is up to you. I know what I believe.
-
If you can be understood, but not liked, that would say something negative about your character and motives. Personally I'd rather be liked but misunderstood.
