Here’s the thing: What other people think of you is none of your business - you can’t control that.

Worrying about it is a fool’s errand. It’s letting the people who hate you win.

Most of the time, their hatred has nothing to do with you - only what’s going on inside them.

Nothing you ever say or ever do is going to change how they feel if they don’t want to. So, fuck ‘em.

There are so many people in the world you can connect with who will love you. One (or many) people hating you doesn’t change that fact.

In the last year, people who talk about how awful I am or call me names usually have very toxic energy - they don’t have internal stability.

They look for validation in the likes and clicks of others.

They wouldn’t know how to function without their obsessive fanboys.

That’s a sad place to be. I don’t want people to live like that (even people I don’t like) but that’s not my choice - it’s their choice.

Only they can change it.

And I’ll hope some day they do, even if they still think I’m “the fucking worst.”

The only thing you should ever concern yourself with is what you think of yourself, and learning to love yourself unconditionally.

And release any anger that you might have towards people like them - that only hurts you.

That’s how you avoid becoming them.
