If you like me, it's okay. And if you don't... that's okay too.

When I was younger, I used to want people to like me.

I would do whatever I could to be liked. This might be through praising or complimenting another person. I would have done this, and I might not even have meant it! Now when I look back, I did it to be accepted.

These days I might say a nice thing about someone, but it's genuine. I just do it and don't expect anything in return... don't need it, like I used too.

If people like me, then great. If they don't, then that's fine also.

I think dropping the need to be liked can be very liberating.

It can enable one to take more risks.
