Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid To Be Disliked
In the path of achieving true freedom, you will piss some people off and that is okay.
Do you live to fulfill other people’s expectations of you?
Do you crave recognition and validation from others?
Are you hesitant to voice your opinion, because you are scared to step on some toes?
If the answer of any of the question is yes then you are living in someone else’s shadow
As humans, we have the psychological need to be liked and accepted by our community, live in harmony with everyone.
But in reality, it is not always possible, your opinions and actions can not be approved by everyone.
There will always be someone with whom your values or opinion clashes, who have a different viewpoint than yours. You can try to make them realize your point, but it may not be possible every time.
Everyone knows a person that they despise, just thinking about that person makes you angry, someone just you can’t stand.
A Janice to your Joey, someone whose presence makes you want to rip off your arm so that you have something to throw at them.
