this is your reminder that not every person will like you and, conversely, you will not like every single person.
and this is your reminder that that's okay. you don't have to. these are in no way requirements.
are they nice to have? sure. but once you realize that these aren't obligations or necessities, it frees you up to just be yourself for the sake of your own self and love who it is you are. the right folks will see your shine and will love you for it.
fuck the haters.

fuck that.
and ya know what? should these people ever tell you, in an effort to hurt you or cut you down, that they don't like you and you shoot back with "okay" or shrug and say "you don't have to", you rob them of the power they thought they had over you.

On the other hand there are some groups in the society where I feel absolutely no guilt when I let them feel and hear what a dumb disgrace they are β¦ π€

there's nothing wrong with you. there's nothing wrong with them. these things just happen sometimes.
we're often so hung up on appearances and social obligations that we wind up forcing things and introducing unnecessary pressure in situations like these.
realizing that we don't all have to be BFFs is freeing as hell.

Now I donβt care so much. Itβs too much effort and people are full of π©.
I weigh the opinions of others in direct proportion to their contribution to my mortgage.
No pay no say⦠be on your way.
Itβs liberating.
