About This Quote
When we make a mistake or fail to do something right, we feel like the world has ended. We feel like we are worthless and that our lives aren’t worth living. We feel like our life isn’t worth living because of what we did wrong or what we failed to do right. However, this feeling is just temporary.
When we think that the only thing that is making us feel this way is ourselves, it can be hard to convince ourselves that the world doesn’t revolve around us. But it does. What makes us feel bad about ourselves is not who we are, but how others see us.
When these people who see us react negatively, it actually makes us stronger than before. It shows us that there are people out there who think badly of us and they don’t mean anything bad by it. In fact, they don’t mean anything at all.
They are saying what they think based on what they see on the outside and on the inside. When these people say things about our appearance or how we act, they really have nothing to do with who we are as a person. And that’s another reason why we should be happy when others react negatively towards us because it gives us a chance to prove them wrong.
If someone reacts negatively towards you, take the time to look at yourself in a positive light and look at them in a negative light as well so you can get an idea of who you want to be instead of who they want you to be.
