Stop being self-important.
Stop seeking for acceptance.
Stop seeking for approval.
Stop denying you may be not interesting to people.
That things you work on may be not interesting to people.
That your opinions may be not interesting to people.
Your value is not derived from the amount of likes.
Or the amount of followers.
Or the amount of interest.
You're the one deciding your own value.
If you're living in a real world you know a few things.
Not everybody's nice.
Not everybody likes you.
Not everybody shares your views.
Not everybody thinks you're smart.
Should you care?
No. That's all okay.
The only thing you should care about is your own critical thinking.
Your own analytical mind.
Your own moral grounds.
Your own attitude.
Your own views.
Your own analysis and synthesis.
And acceptance that not everybody does, or ever will, accept you.
Stop being defensive.
Stop living in a bubble where everybody's your friend.
Not everybody supports you.
Not everybody roots for you.
And that’s okay.
Find allies you can truly rely on,
and pop the bubble.

I knew that "good" count is one of the ads, so I didn't care anymore.
The true heart was in the user's heart.
