There will always be people who hate you! It's unavoidable. In this episode , I share an experience of being treated poorly by someone I thought was a friend. I recount a texting incident where the person responded rudely and then ignored me in person. Despite feeling hurt, I decided to extend grace and not let their behavior affect me. Takeaways - Sometimes people may treat you poorly for no apparent reason, and it's important not to let their behavior affect you. - Extending grace and kindness to those who mistreat you can help them confront their own issues and may lead to resolution. - It's important to focus on the people who love and support you rather than dwelling on those who dislike you. - Not everyone will like you, and that's okay. Surround yourself with positive influences and don't let the negativity of others bring you down.

Do you know the difference between a support response and a shift response? Stop talking about yourself and ask more questions! People will want to talk to you more if you ask them about them and not make the conversation about yourself.

Stop texting people who don't respond. Surround yourself with people who do, because they like you.

Having too many "friends" can be empty. And are they really friends or just acquaintances? I've found focusing on my small group of actual friends is more fulfilling.
