I Find Myself Not Caring If I Think Someone Doesn't Like Me Nowadays

[MainerMikeBrown]

Lots of people want everybody to like them. I used to be like that.

However, while I still care about what others think of me, I don't care quite as much as I used to. And now I'm okay with the fact that not everybody likes me. Everybody else is in the same boat when it comes to that, because nobody is liked by everyone.

Their's a restaurant I go to once every three weeks or so. And I get the impression that one of the waitresses there doesn't like me. She seems to be less friendly with me than with everyone else.

Yet I find myself not caring if she likes me or not. The reason is that my self esteem is better than it used to be. Not everyone has to like me in order for me to feel good about myself.

Besides, this waitress doesn't know me well anyway.

It's perfectly normal for us to want to be accepted, yes. However, I've personally found that getting out of that mindset is crucial to finding that ultimate peace. I also used to care about what people thought of me. It wasn't extreme, it didn't upset me, but I often found myself feeling some extent of insecurity because of it. Once I learned to not care, I felt so much better.

It doesnt matter who likes you and who doesnt it matters about what you think of you. Members of my own family who i grew up with, do not like me, but it doesnt matter, because i love me. God himself could hate me, and i would not care that is how powerful self belief can be, if you get through hardships and progress the better and brighter things.
Ps. I am a christian, i do not believe God hates me. I do have my doubts but i remain focused on my goals, and nothing will stop me, and you have to think that way. The world is full of people that will break your heart. Have a heart of gold encased in steel. Gold is what it gives out, steel is what comes into it. Gold can break steel, nothing else can.
