  1. Totally agree! We just have to be able to accept that no matter what, not everybody's gonna love you. And that's NOT your fault!

  3. I also think it's true. Everyone wants to be better and really competitive. However, not everybody is perfect so no matter what you do, you are still not best at the eyes of others. Just stay true to yourself and you'll do good. :)

    2. Maybe the background and culture of those people wanting others to be slightly poorer than them have great impact with their thinking.

  5. Just be yourself, be kind and be humble. If they still don't like you for who you are even when you aren't hurting anyone, that's their problem and no one can please everyone.

    1. You're right about it Jien. I learned it the hard way though, but that's the Philosophy I'm living right now. I guess I just grew really, really, REALLY tired of being people's slave and punching bag (emotionally).

      I guess as we grow older, we learn about better ways to survive.

      Too much selflessness, like what I once had, will kill you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)

  6. So true. And this is why, for the most part, I've learned not to care what others think. It's quite liberating, actually! :)

  7. Gah! this is so true! these people are those who have "crab mentality". They are acting as if they want you succeed but in fact, they want you to stay just behind them.

  8. Flexibility and knowledge come to terms with each other. Trying your best to blend with different personalities and know their weaknesses will do. By giving them what they wanted but with such condition to explore their hidden agenda.

  9. I think Envy is another word for that. If you are not on their level they can empathize because you are not a threat to them anyway,

  10. That's very realistic so my say is just do what you want the best way you can and let that stand on its own.

  12. You can never really please everybody. I think you just have to make sure that you do the best you can and be the best that you can be. It is up to the if they want to be friends with you or not.
