Have you ever come away from a conversation wondering what the other person thought of you?
Maybe you worried that you said something silly or stupid, or that they were just laughing at your jokes to be polite.
Do they even like me? You wonder.

We always think the worst and come up with all these reasons that people might not like us.
But research says that we shouldn't.
You see, for over a decade, researchers have been studying the difference between how we think other people perceive us and how they actually do.
This is known as the liking gap.
