It’s tough when you’re in your teen/tween years because the most important thing that think about is “Why don’t people like me?”
It’s a tough question. Why don’t people like me? I think people do like you, the question really is, do you like yourself?
I know you look at the popular people and think they are lucky because every seems to like them and they get all the attention they want but I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, they don’t think anyone likes them either. And even more, most of them don’t like themselves very much and are pretty insecure.
Me telling you to like yourself seems stupid, right? What’s to like? Well, that’s what you have to find out. What is it about you that makes you special? What are you talents? If you can’t think of anything, ask someone who cares about you and then listen.
Don’t go into that conversation and discount everything they say, they love you, they see you and they know you. Your great qualities are standing out there, you just have to see them…..and then believe them.
Once you know what you’re good at then you get a confidence that allows you to walk taller, smile broader, and laugh more often. All that brings people to you like bears to honey. It’s about your feelings about yourself that show others how to think about you. Seems weird but it’s true.
So try it. Find 4 things you like about yourself and tell yourself over and over these 4 things and see how you feel. Do you walk taller? Do you feel better?
Like yourself and the others will like you too!
