PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS LOOK FOR A REASON to simply dislike you — no matter how good, kind, or generous you try to be.
•
They’ll dislike you for your better hair, better skin, better legs, better nose, better profile, better voice, better nails, better eyes, better ears, or better caboose.
•
They’ll dislike you for being better educated, better read, better off, better dressed, better able, or better informed.
•
They’ll dislike you for living in a better neighborhood, better house with a better lawn, or better garden, better car in the driveway, better job to go to, or better office with a better window and better view from a better chair.
•
They’ll dislike you for having a better phone, better computer, better luck, better seats at better events, or a better chance of obtaining a better life with better people.
•
They’ll dislike you for having better parents, better siblings, better relatives, or a better childhood.
•
They’ll dislike you for your better marriage, better love life, better friends, better boss, better colleagues, better connections, better finances, or better health.
•
They’ll dislike you for being a better dancer, better singer, better writer, better cook, better artist, or better lover.
•
They’ll dislike you for being better at sports, at games, or always getting the better of them with your better sense of humor.
•
The point is — there will always be people who will dislike you in some way, shape, form or fashion because, in their estimation, you’ve got it so much better.
•
So, stop beating yourself up, or selling yourself short for not being liked.
•
Frankly?
•
You should know better!

Thank you! It’s always good to be reminded to not compare my insides with others’ outsides and vice versa.
