i feel simultaneously flattered and slightly naked lmao the thing is, i don't need to be liked by everyone. you simply cannot have everyone in your corner and honestly, why would you want that, bound to get crowded and uncomfortable. i hate to sound like a self-help book but when you detach from the need to be universally liked and stop bending over backwards to please others, you can focus on your own growth and happiness. which isn't to say you should be selfish and egotistical, you can absolutely be a kind person and still not let others push you around. and the people who matter will like you anyway, which is more than enough<3
