  1. I think its just a matter of what I refer to as " strategic likability ". For example, I use to have friends ( I use the term generously) who provided little to no benefit in comparison to the energy I was providing them. So once I no longer cared whether the liked me, the friendships ended. I lost nothing by not being likable. Except dead emotional weight. But in a work environment where I normally might bump heads with someone, I have learned strategic likability. The strategy of being likable in that scenario is to my benefit. When it is not to my benefit, I do not utilize it. Many people are not worth utilizing it.
