Huh, You Don't Like Me?!


Who doesn’t want to be well liked by everyone?  Funnily, those who get affected the most are those who usually think “highly” of themselves.  “I’m a kind person.  I’m nice to the people around me.  I’ve loads of friends and they all love me.  But why is this person different?  Why should anyone dislike me?”
The reality is, not everyone will…no matter how hard you try, even when you don’t know why, even when you believe that you have not done any wrong, even when you DID wrong and apologized wholeheartedly.  It just is and it’s ok.  Understand it, try your best to amend (if there’s a need), learn from it, but ultimately, accept it, (forgive yourself in some cases) and move on.
P.S. To those who say “they don’t care”: look deep down, you do.
P.P.S. And of course, to the rare ones who really don’t give a damn: you should. Who says you don’t need to change yourself for the better?  All this talk about “staying true to yourself and letting people love the real you” is not quite right.  True, you don’t want to lead your whole life based on what others feel or think about you, BUT part of growing up is being able to understand, sieve through what’s true and what’s not and sometimes what others think of you holds some truth to the real you.
