Reality Check: Not Everyone Is Going To Like You

We've reached 2016, it's time to stop trying so hard. It's time to stop caring so much about what others think of us and we need to go on.

Not everyone is going to like you, especially when you begin to enter your young adult age. In high school you might've been labeled as a sweet heart but college somebody will get the wrong impression of you. This happens, you cannot control what people think. You can only influence other people's opinions so much, but at the end of the day they really don't care. Hopefully, what I like to believe is that people won't always go off of first impressions and they will give out second chances, but a lot of times they stick to what they assume they know.

Maybe you are a sweet heart but not every person is going to see you that way, it doesn't matter why because they are irrelevant.

Stop caring so much about what people think of you. I don't mean call them out and get riled up about it. I mean take it in, and move on. Whether they have a good reason not to like you or not, it doesn't affect you. Don't let it get to you.

I've always wanted people to like me, it was important to me to know I was being a good person and doing everything right.

In reality, you can't do everything right, you can't please everyone.

Not all personalities mesh well together, and that's fine because everyone is different.

You can still be a good person and not have somebody like you.

You can also be kind to the people that don't like you and you should.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
