Being An Unlikable Person Isn’t As Bad As You Think. Here’s Why.
“Unlikable people are beautiful and misunderstood beings. They are rejected because many people simply cannot think for themselves. We challenge the norms of society and we live our lives the way we please.”
Some people have a certain aura about them. Their presence feels happy. Safe. Comfortable. Easy-going. Free. It seems as though they are beings of light, radiating joy everywhere they go. The world is drawn to them as these individuals make everyone feel good about themselves; their energy is universally non-threatening.
And then there’s me.
I do not have that same “grab” as the likable ones. I make people uncomfortable. And I don’t mean to at all. It’s just that my femininity, self-assuredness, opinionated nature, intelligence, unique beauty, talents, style, and the way I carry myself pisses people the fuck off. Not only that, but I possess a certain energy that many people just don’t take well to.
Over the years I have learned to accept this about myself. I am not for everybody. And I am realizing that this is actually a good thing.
If you are an “unlikable person” and you are struggling to accept this about yourself, read on. Here are some reasons why being an unlikable person can work in your favor.
You don’t have anyone to impress.
I need you to trust me on this one.
There will come a point when you will eventually grow weary of trying to be that extroverted social butterfly whom everyone gravitates to. Your efforts to be accepted by the majority will go unnoticed and unappreciated, and you will wake up one day and declare, “Enough is enough.”
Basically, you will not give a fuck anymore and just live. You will stop mentally beating yourself up and accept that people and their ever-changing judgments about you aren’t as powerful as your mind makes them out to be. And you don’t have to bend over backwards to impress them, either. You are no longer a slave to their approval.
You are more emotionally intelligent than most people.
