I understand what you're saying. I used to stress out alot over whether people liked me or not, but finally i learned that we can't like EVERYONE. And if people don't like me, oh well. Life is too short to be bothered with pleasing everyone -- it's impossible to do.
Just make sure that friends/relatives don't take advantage of you, like the family member who kept bugging you for something you couldn't afford. Once you say "yes" you'll be an easy mark next time they want something. It's OK to say no. And if they get mad at you for saying no, that's THEIR problem, not yours. If you can't afford it, you just plain can't afford it!  Besides, we can't see to it that people get everything they want.
Take care! Hugs, Lee
