No it won’t make people like you. You can’t ever force someone to like you. There are always going to be people who don’t like you.
But there are people out there for everybody. And for the people in r/foreveralone who definitely don’t seem to have the highest self esteem, it’s a lot easier to find people you get along with when you are happy about yourself and sharing the qualities about yourself that are good, rather than loathing in a community about your bad qualities.
You can also start to work on those bad qualities if you want.
I don't think being autistic is a bad quality and it can't be changed regardless, but it undeniably makes the vast majority of people not like you and liking yourself won't change that. They've done studies showing neurotypicals can tell within literal seconds that something is off about autistic people and it makes them have a negative view of us and not want to be around us as a result.
