How do you deal with people who just don't like you?
in Psychology ·
I totally get where you're coming from because I’m the exact same way—people either absolutely love me or they can't stand me. Eventually, I realized that's just how life works; people have different tastes and different standards. If you’re confident that your attitude and the way you carry yourself are solid, then you shouldn't lose any sleep over the opinions of people who just don't "get" you. There will always be folks out there who aren't your biggest fans, but honestly, it’s not a big deal. It happens to everyone. Don't waste your energy trying to win them over, because you simply can't please everyone. Some people will think you're a rockstar, while others will find you grating... that's just the nature of the beast. As for those who don't vibe with you, just keep things strictly professional and give them only as much interaction as the job requires. Spend your actual time and energy on the people who actually appreciate having you around.
