Is it the situation that I dont fit into, or is it something larger and its about myself? Either way, I believe when we have reached a comfortable confidence about who we are inside, what others think of us matters less and less. Thats not saying I dont care about my conduct, it means if I am confident my conduct is appropriate for the situation, if others dont like me, thats more a reflection on who they are and the place theyre at emotionally, than it is a reflection on myself. I take time to give the other person complete consideration, maybe there really is some aspect of myself that is presenting my place as not being as healthy as it could be. I dont know you so I couldnt say what your exact situation could be. Sending good thoughts to you always.

It makes sense since I don't like myself very much, don't like the way I look. Thank you.
