One cannot win over everyone

She acts as though it doesn’t bother her, but it’s breaking her.

You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s okay. You can be someone’s cup of coffee instead.

– L.R. Knost

As common people, we must have all had expectations of everyone when we realised that we all had a past, a culture, an environment, and a diverse upbringing; therefore, it is evident that we are unable to please everyone.

It occurs to someone who truly has a well-thought-out plan, has empathy, and views everyone positively. She believes that seeing someone happy makes everyone happy. It’s all so different from her expectations. It turns out to have unfulfilled expectations of a magnificent thing.

She never placed the blame on anybody, again. She constantly gestures at herself, as if she were pointing a finger at someone, even though all four of her fingers are pointing at her. The cliché that escapes her thoughts is “what’s wrong with me?,” to which no one can really provide a satisfactory response. It is nobody’s fault. It is simply a single notion with a set of pros and cons that, of course, not everyone can combine.

Lessons learned in life will never be lost as long as we are here. She starts to trust others less and less as a result. Ignorance of right and wrong, good and bad, therefore continue to treat everyone kindly regardless of what they may think, to say nothing what they actually do. Just be cautious while interacting with new individuals because not everyone thinks the same as she does (as stated in the first paragraph), as others may come from various backgrounds.

Anyway, no matter how hard she tries, individuals who loathe her will continue to do so. So quit satisfying everyone else, since in the end everyone ultimately disagrees with her.

Accepting the issue, apologising, unfollowing, and moving on are all options.
