It's strange how individuals are hated for being genuine and adored for being fake.
I'm too old to be concerned about who likes and dislikes me. I've got more important matters to attend to. I will love you if you love me. I will support you, If you support me. If you hate me, I don’t care. Whether you're there or not, life goes on.
It's unfortunate we don't reach this conclusion until after we become older.
So many years are wasted worrying about what others think of us.
Thanks, Agreed, DashingScorpio.
Blessings to you
"So many years are wasted worrying about what others think of us...." some never get to this realization.
But yes: Every time I am rejected, I will redirect myself toward something better.
if you hate me, I care.
Darn it, I care.
How does one get to the point where what others think about you doesn't phase you or effect you. Where how you imagine or sense how others either accept or reject you, really truly doesn't affect you in the least?

Kathryn, I like you. Don't understand religions, yet do support your human right for it.
Not ever been slandered anything close to these life threatening Covid topics in my lifetime. It gets me down too, for where ever I go. Keep your integrity up and have fun. Because it's the not the person who has the most toys in life who wins. It's the person with the most joys in life, who really wins.
Thank you, Castlepaloma, I appreciate the encouragement and I like and encourage you too. Your last line says it all.
Do good but don't chase people. You can't make anyone stay in your life if they are really not willing to stay. Keep the door open for them to come. Give them a chance but when you see they have gone just shut the door. Forgive them and Move on! Be strong. I know it's difficult. It's difficult for me as well. But it's important too. Yes, Don't care but also don't talk bad about them. Set them free. This is also Love!
Blessings!
Thank you for your quote @Misbah. I hope everything is going well for you.

Wise words from a wise lady.
Life goes on...it's sometimes hard to accept the fact that others do not like who you are, but time doesn't stop for anything.
We must keep going, so we need to stop worrying & make each day count.
Be happy for who we are.
Reminds me of an old saying.
"I'd rather have you hate me for telling you the truth than have you love me for telling you a lie."

How much do you care about what others think about you?Let's assume you're a decent human being. Do you care what complete strangers think about what you wear, what you read, how your hair is, or whether you're in a relationship or not?

Why do we care so much about what others think of us?What we say, what is said about us, what we wear, what we eat... There are so many campaigns with the slogan to just "be yourself", and yet, we still seem to get trapped in this cycle of constantly worrying about what other people think...

Why do you think we all worry so much about what others think of us?

Do you think we live most of our lives worried about what others might think?Do we live most of our life worried that we are being judged at every step?

Do you care what others think or say about you behind your back?Does it matter what other people say about you when you're out of hearing range. We come across with two-faced people that have developed this sort of lifestyle. Being a "public chameleon" with opinions that are constantly...

How do you follow your heart?I had a young girl, out of the blue, ask me that the other day through the drive-in window at McDonald'sI gave her what I've found in life on the matter, but I think it's an interesting question, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.How do you follow your heart?
