Not everyone is going to like you, and it's not your job to force them to.

I taught my children (at least, I hope) this at a young age, and I hope it sticks.

All we can do is be ourselves within our chosen "window dressings" and hope our personality (because Anne Frank really did say it best) shines through.

But, people are not going to always like you, find you attractive, or want to hang around you. And you should not concern yourself quite so much with that.

Who are you really... at the end of the day? (you don't need to answer that to anybody but yourself)
