What other's think about you is...

When I was younger I will admit that I always wanted to be liked by everyone and I truly valued what other’s thought about me besides what I truly thought about myself. I would also like to admit that I was an outcast who never truly fit in growing up, I always felt so devalued as person because I cared so much about what other’s thought about me, I carried that same thought process even after I graduated High school when I took on my first job at McDonald's and I experienced bullying to the fullest because I was soft spoken, timid, and I never spoke up for myself and I was called so many names that I would rather not repeat anymore in the present. I also encounter harsh treatment at my second job at Starbucks by my co-workers as well. I just wasn’t catching a break was I? Clearly not, everything changed in my life for the better when someone at my job repeated to me “So and so said this about you behind your back.” I got fed up with the immaturity and I snapped back and said “Good, I’m OK with that they’re behind me for a reason.” I realized that day not everyone is going to like you and that’s OK, and I am not going to always like everyone I meet. I also questioned myself if they talk about you in a negative way how does that affect me? Am I broke? Hungry? Have I lost my mind? Actually no I’m OK. So, your negative opinion about me is truly none of my business. Why should I care? Be aware when others are rude and try to diminish your character that’s on them and you can’t change that. Remember What others think about you is none of your business life will get easier for you and slowly you will gain your confidence keep your head up, and continue to find ways to empower yourself. One day you will walk in a room and you won’t fear if the people in there will like you or not, you would not care you’d be too worried on whether or not you’d like those people or not.
