Well...to put it simply, you can not make anybody accept you. You can hope that they can and if you're the religious type, you can pray for it. There is an old American saying that says, "You can take the horse to water, but you can't force it to drink." So like this, you can provide them with reasons on why they should accept you but you can't force them.

Unfortunately, you can't. The hard truth is that you cannot make people love you, want you, or accept you, etc. but the right people WILL love you and accept you for who you are, so be yourself. It may not always be easy with peer pressure, etc. but you will be rewarded in the long run :)

It took a while for me to accept myself but I learned that if you accept who you are than others are more likely to accept you. Confidence is the key. Of course not every single person that exists is going to "accept you" and understanding that also really helps. Just being able to see yourself and self worth is a great start.

Nobody needs to make anyone accept them. Just be yourself, if they don't like you then they are the wrong crowd for you.

Accept yourself, if you like what you are after trying to accept yourself, then people will accept you, too.

Just be yourself, never let anyone change who you are. Wait for the people won't care about your flaws, and will stand by your side through the hard times.

Why don't you think they accept you? And who are they? Important people or not so important in your life?

Don't make people accept you. Let them accept you. Be you, and continue being you. Because being someone else and being accepted is a lot harder than being yourself and not being accepted. If they don't like how you are, they'll have to accept it because that is who you are. Maybe only a few will willingly accept you, but that's better than nothing or being accepted for what you aren't right? Always remember that you don't have to change or do anything you don't want to just so that they can accept you. The important thing is that you're happy for what you are right now. Just remember that life is about enjoying yourself and making yourself happy. Not making other people accept you. Okay? All the love, J. xx

You really can't force someone to accept you. What you can do is be yourself and be patient as they hopefully come around and do accept you.

You can't make anyone accept you, i think you first have to accept yourself. Be yourself, and don't be afraid of being different, and you will soon find the right people who will love and accept you.

The best way to make people accept you is to be honest if you lie about who you are they may begin to question you, so my best advice be yourself.

Why should people accept you? Be yourself it sounds corny but it's true. When you're you the world will start to accept you for who you are, not for the mask you wear.

People don't need to accept you. As long as you accept you, you are good. Just stay true to yourself and keep your head high.

While being accepted by people sometimes feels like the most important thing in the world, the only person's acceptance that you need it your own. It is important to achieve this by valuing what makes you happy, and sometimes changing things in your life to make you happier.

You should try and talk to them as much as you can and explain to them exactly what you meant. Treat them like 3-year-old's, and explain everything in detail.
