Not everyone is going to like you or accept you - that's just how life is. The most important thing is that YOU like you. In this episode, I talk about my personal experiences with how people treated me poorly for no apparent reason at all - and what those experiences taught me.

0:00.0 | Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of Date Yourself Instead. I was supposed to take a flight |
0:06.6 | out to New York City this morning but it's pouring out in Miami and I thought I would just be |
0:12.5 | a better time to leave tomorrow instead so I changed my flight because I had a new episode idea |
0:18.9 | and I couldn't help but turn on my microphone and start recording because I think this episode |
0:26.3 | is really important and it's something that should be talked about so let's dive right in. |
0:31.6 | You weren't put on this earth for every other single person to be obsessed with you and to love |
0:37.2 | you and admire you. You were not put on this earth for other people to give you constant validation. |
0:43.5 | You were not put on this earth to receive praise from every single person that steps into your path |

1:17.0 | boost my confidence and it would stroke my ego and I constantly made it a challenge for myself |
1:23.5 | to get the hottest guys I could and to get anyone that I set my eyes on because it made me feel |
1:30.6 | better about myself and we often do this in our relationships. We can do this with people that we |
1:35.9 | want to be friends with. If we want to be well-liked we can do this in any area of our life really. |
1:42.5 | Trying to receive validation from things and external factors and people and situations |
1:48.8 | and promotions and whatever it is that'll stroke our ego and make us feel good. We're constantly |
1:55.8 | trying to hold on to that because it makes us feel happy temporarily. It makes us feel more |
2:01.1 | confident in the moment and it's easy to get sucked into this idea of if everyone likes me then |
2:06.3 | my life is going to be perfect. If everyone likes me then I'll like myself more. If everyone likes me |
2:11.6 | and approves of me and accepts me I'm going to be a better person and I'm going to be more confident |
