"The truth is that we don't need everyone to like us;
we need a few people to love us. Because what's better than
being roundly liked is being fully known - an impossibility
both professionally and personally if you're so busy being likable
that you forget to be yourself." ~ Jessica Valenti
At my therapy session today, I was expressing how I often feel unlikable -- I'll let the source of that neurosis be fodder for another day. Dr. Bob responded that no one is universally liked. Everyone can name people who don't like them.
I replied, "Yeah, except Tom Hanks. He's probably the only person on the planet who is liked by literally everyone."
