Thanks for all your replies, I haven´t been around for a bit.
First: I do accept that they like me, but I don´t understand why. I do appreciate that they like me, but I just don´t understand why. So this is not about me being an ass and not appreciating that people support and/or like me.
The reason why I asked this, is understanding why other people like me, might give me some insight into myself. They seem to see things in me that I am not seeing. So asking would be the only way to find out what they see.
Yeah, that´s pretty accurate I think. I´m not sure how I feel about myself in relation to my friends. I know why I like them, that´s pretty clear. They are solid, honest, and sincere. Perhaps those are qualities that I have too but I have trouble recognizing any of those qualities, as I tend to think of myself more as a confusing and rather abstract collection of different emotions and thoughts. I don´t know where I am headed and half of the time my identity is still fuzzy because over the past years I´ve changed a lot.
I recently did have a similar conversation with a friend. I did not exactly asked why they liked me, but they said that I was special for them because I´d undergone so many changes in my life, more than anybody else they knew. So it´s a start.

From your above comment It seems like (I am not clear) that you may be struggling with feeling better...about yourself in relationship to others?
