…unless you want friends

Lioness- OP t1_ivhsm1j wrote

Depend on what kind of friendships you want to have. Friendship is not about likings, and /or searching for it. Pretty superficial imo.

Rather finding common ground, shared values. Agree to disagree at times, and still respect each other.

When you’re yourself, it shows great character and ample self-respect to not let people make you their friend but you decide who your friends are. As OP said, when you do so it exhibits your values and self-esteem. So fuck em if they don’t like you.

At 16 you cared what everyone thought of you...

...at 40 you'll no longer care what people think of you...

...and by 60 you'll finally realize nobody was actually thinking about you the whole time.

This is called the, "16-40-60 Rule."

Sometimes people not liking you is a sign that you're a dick. In which case you should probably change

Unless you have sponsors like Kayne West. Then don’t be yourself or you lose 1.5 billion dollars

Eh, I’d say don’t miss out on life because you were caring too much about the opinions of others…

But dont be a moron because people will notice and care

Some people care anyways and can't just turn it off. I would guess most people in fact who don't already think like this can't just snap to that

I'd also say it isn't the best advice. So practicalities aside, when it comes to being a good person sometimes you should care. Sometimes you should ask yourself if they have a point. And you don't have to agree with them, but you should think about it sometimes in case you do

But I was myself, and people didn’t like me, and I did care.

That's true. But if your life lays in their hands, you have to accept your fate...

Who you are doesn’t really matter. Who you can be is far more important.
