If somebody doesn't like you, romantic or platonic, it's not necessarily because there's something wrong with you, because you're gross, because you suck, because you're horrible, because you're annoying, because you're cringe, because...

because you're not cute.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you just might not be their cup of tea.

That could be simply it.

And you know what?

If you have trust in your sense of self, if you've built trust in your sense of self, when someone doesn't like you, romantic or platonic, it's very easy to be like, eh, I'm just not their cup of tea because I am kind of awesome.

I've done the work.

I'm a morally good person.

I respect myself because I make promises and I fulfill them.

I'm awesome.

I'm a badass.

I'm not perfect, but I'm pretty awesome.

And so if somebody doesn't like me, it's probably because I'm not their cup of tea.

Much easier to be mindful about these things if you're in a good place with the other things.

But it is true that you're not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

if someone disagrees with you instead of being like i'm an idiot i'm dumb i'm stupid the reality of the situation is we all learn from each other whether a disagreement leads to further reinforcement of our own personal belief because being tested on it and not budging reinforcement or our minds expanding and us having an epiphany through a conversation with somebody and

changing our beliefs.

What a beautiful thing.

That has nothing to do with your self-worth.

That's just like how we interact with one another as human beings.
