"If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues."
-Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
When saying this, don't assume that I am telling you to be horrible at everything you do. What I am saying is that if you want to be loved, you shouldn't just show all of your perfections. Nobody likes someone who appears to be good at everything. People like to see a couple faults every now and again; it shows them that you are, in fact, human. Everybody makes mistakes, and sometimes letting people see your mistakes can be a good thing. I know of some people who don't show anything but their "perfections;" and that itself seems a bit like a flaw (in my personal opinion). Not to mention they aren't exactly my most favorite people to be around. They are always acting like they are better than everyone. For your sake as well as others, simply be human. Show your faults, show your perfections. A perfect blend of the two makes for a very likable person.
