We don't 'click' with everyone.. [I Will Share My Thoughts]

How impossible that would be.
Sometimes we just get someone, and they us.
We're on the same page, mostly understand each other,
our personalities mesh well.
We click.

Other times personalities clash, we're out of sync, we struggle to understand each other.
Or we sense more the underlying versus the complimenting surface.
Instead of trying to force it, or making out like they are to blame or jealous, or blah...
Why does it have to be someone's fault? Wouldn't it be better to have the discernment and grace to accept we just don't jive.

Or do we need to be liked by everyone or think we can like everyone? Surely not. Compassion and common decency, yes. But..

"[i]An unhealthy desire to be liked by everyone is indicative of struggles with low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence. The prevalence of social media in today’s society only exacerbates these struggles. People on social media literally compete for likes, thus increasing the potential for inappropriate or damaging behavior by those for whom being liked is an unhealthy need. Not achieving what they perceive to be the right amount of approval — especially through social media — can also lead to worsening psychological issues like depression or even suicidal thoughts.[/i]"

P.S. But a healthy relationship or click, can still have disagreement. Agreeing with everything isn't the same as clicking.

It’s wonderful when you find that click. It’s rare for me, and I’m ok with that. I don’t need to be liked by everyone, just by those who are important to me.

So true about the downside of social media.

@ChampagneOnIce I know this is true of you. And you either click or you don't. It's the natural way of it. 💟

@Magenta It is, and it’s fine if there’s no click. I think we both prefer small but meaningful circles. 💖

@ChampagneOnIce Indeed, and even a healthy relationship will have misunderstanding at times. Always agreeing with someone isn't really the same as clicking I don't think.

@Magenta No, definitely not. I agree. You’ll have disagreements, but hopefully, you can find a way through it and remain friends or romantic partners. That click or spark doesn’t just go away, even if you disagree on some things.
