Some people will like you and some won't. And it's ok. You don't like many people either. You aren't meant to be everyone's cup of tea. Don't chase. Teach people to treat you right. Choose those who see the value your presence brings. Others don't matter.

You are important. Your existence has a reason. You deserve to be respected. You aren't meant to be an afterthought. Don't chase those who make you shrink. Replace them with those who realise that your presence is a reward and your energy is a blessing.
