if everybody hates you it closes a lot of doors
also some parents teach kids this through rejection, not necessarily me

@pancakeslam if people are hating you then you need to look at your actions and behaviour unless they are taking you wrongly. We’re talking everyday basic traits and ethics..generally most people strive to be good all rounded citizens..they shouldn’t need others to tell them that they should know themselves if they’re worthy of it.

@Primnproper I wouldn't accept the burden of other people's visceral attitude towards me and wouldn't advise anyone else to either. you're assuming all people are logical and conform to some universal standard of ethics. and that that is how they decide whether they like you or not. I just don't see that as the case in my lifetime of experience. like attracts like.

@pancakeslam but then if they’re reacting negatively to you with no basis then surely they are the illogical ones therefore they are the problem not you, unless you have totally done something to evoke that response then of course it’s warranted.

@Primnproper anyone who is different might not be so well accepted, let's say

@pancakeslam different is not always bad but sometimes misunderstood
