I'm Just Sayin'
As appreciative as I am of the support I get from those that do like me, I shouldn't take it to heart too much. After all, most of the people who are expressing praise for me don't actually know me that well and their opinions might change drastically once they did. Such is the way it usually goes for me: they like me at first, then they get to know me a little better, then they don't. Even those who do know me and still like me, there's no telling it's going to stay that way. I may outlive my usefulness to them or end becoming more of an inconvenience than a close friend before even they realize it. They might disagree and say they'll never stop liking me but I'm sure the close friends I've had that this has happened with thought the same at some point. 🤷♀️
