Not everyone will accept and celebrate you in life. Expect to have people that will want to have nothing to do with you. It’s really alright. Understand that rejection does not mean there is something wrong with you.

Going forward, you must learn to value those who value you, and if people don’t value you, release them to be how they want to be. You can’t force someone to like you. However, it does not mean that you must hate your hater or make those that don’t like you to become your enemies. It’s maturity to know how to still remain in your right mind and treat people well even when you know that they have rejected you.

Friends, life is too short to force yourself on people who don’t like you. Be with people who will value you and cherish you because there is nothing wrong with you. My advice is in all your relationships, go as far as the other person is willing to go with you.

Never force yourself on anyone and don’t waste time trying to find acceptance with people who don’t accept you. Don’t look for validation from people who don’t like you. You will waste your life trying to prove yourself to them. I find it strange how we reject those who want us while we want those who reject us. Please note: For each person that dislikes you, there are so many more that like you. So why don’t you decide to love back those that love you, and to like back those that like you?
