Don't expect everyone to like you

[stuka1939]

Everyone wants everyone to like them, but this is an impossible task.


Accept the fact that no matter how nice, fair and respectable you are to others, there are still people out there who will not like you. This could be due to the way you look, a lack of respect or envy, etc.

Too many of us walk on egg shells in life or don't want to assert ourselves or our opinion because others may not like us for it.

THIS IS THE WRONG WAY TO LIVE:

Accept it as a fact of life that not everyone is going to like us and you will feel more relaxed.

True. Also iv'e found not all girls like me, only about half maybe less do. So just play it cool when a chick isn't interested.

Good advice, one of my friends is supposedly "really really hot" (to be honest I just can't see it) and almost all the boyfriends in our area don't like him lol.

Your message is missing something so allow me to interject.

Don't go out of your way to make people like you. Make sure by the end of the day you LIKE YOURSELF, and RESPECT YOURSELF otherwise everything else means sh1t. I see too many people out there that are looking for social proof as everything in this world but in the end of the day they lose themselves in the process and end up hating themselves because they are not themseleves and they can't stand living in their own skin.

Oh and if you end up liking yourself and become a successful as a result, expect the number of people that hate you to rise up. Those are the people who failed in life, the people who hate themselves and wish misery upon everyone so they don't feel left behind. It is why they say its lonely at the top.....

People watch The Jerry Springer show because they can point their finger and laugh at other people's misery and it makes them feel good that someone out there is alot more fvcked up then they are.

Cool post.

I find the more people want to be liked, the less liked they are. A good role model to me is someone who is liked for who he is.. not who he is projecting himself to be.

Are there any threads or whatnot that cover this topic well? I need to get this drilled through my head.

Yeah, even if you are handicapped and retarded with no hands and feet someone will find a reason to not like you.
