What is this fixation that people seems to have with wanting to be liked by everyone.
Social media seems to drive the concept that we must be liked by as many people as possible. And instead of focusing on individual strengths and developing unique talents so many people give in to these irrational pressures and end up living a life that is “acceptable”.
Wait! Stop! Think about this, even if just for a moment.
What makes the world and its people so special is that we are all different. Each one of us is an individual. We think differently. We do things differently. We like, and dislike, different things.
And the important thing to comprehend is that this is how it is supposed to be. There will always be people that do not like you. And people that do not like things you say or do.
It takes courage to stand up for who and what you are, and not to bow to the pressure of becoming someone who you are not just so you will be liked. It is this very act of standing up for who you really are and what you believe that will propel you towards something better.
The only person who has to like you is you! Liking who you are is one of the most important things you can do for yourself!
Repeat these words to yourself – it is perfectly acceptable for some people not to like me.
