The Courage to be Disliked
Hello lovelies,
In a world where fitting in is the name of the game, having the audacity to embrace your true self is the ultimate power move. The people who embrace themselves through fashion, poetry, showcasing what they love on social media, and doing what they want to do without caring what others think are living for themselves and are genuinely authentic. These people are secure and have immense self-respect, self-esteem, and self-worth. These people know their worth and what they bring to the table and embrace every aspect of themselves. Now, this is going to upset a lot of insecure people. Insecure people lack self-confidence and want those around them to be on their level. These people live for gossiping about others, speaking ill of those who intimidate them, and are the people you need to look out for and stay away from. Insecure people want to bring down the magnetic, the genuine, and the good-hearted people to their level of pettiness and unhappiness. In essence, they lack self-esteem and self-worth. Beware of people like this, and always listen to your gut feeling when something feels fishy. Tolerating things to keep the peace is a thing of the past. This is the day and age of living for you, knowing your worth, and removing people and situations with no business being a part of your life.
Now, let’s talk about the fear of being disliked. From the mean girls in high school to society's judgemental whispers, the fear of rejection is a powerful force. But remember, those who dare to be different are the ones who leave a lasting impression.
How to step into your power
Silence the noise: In a world where everyone has an opinion and social media reigns supreme, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of expectations. But here’s the thing: the only opinion that truly matters is your own.
Embrace your flaws: Your quirks, your imperfections. They’re what make you unique. So, instead of hiding them away, flaunt them with pride. Own your quirks and watch the world fall in love with the real you.
Cultivate an unbreakable sense of self-love: You are worthy of love and acceptance precisely as you are. Treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would a dear friend. Celebrate your victories, forgive your mistakes, and never forget you are a force to be reckoned with.
Embrace your true self unapologetically: Wear that bold fashion piece, dance like no one’s watching, and speak your truth with unwavering confidence. Make your time on this earth meaningful and live without regrets because everything happens for a reason, and embarrassment is an illusion.

What actionable steps can you take to start?
Positive affirmations: Start the day by showering yourself with compliments. Look in the mirror and affirm your worth with statements such as, “I am confident,” “I am powerful,” and “I am worthy of all the things I desire”. Repeat these affirmations throughout the day to affirm the mindset.
Step out of your comfort zone: Challenge yourself to try new things. Whether you sign up for a hot yoga class, take yourself out for dinner, speak up in meetings, or strike up conversations with strangers, pushing your boundaries is the gateway to boosting your confidence.
Find your hobbies: Learning what you love to do for fun is a way of learning who you are. When you know what you enjoy, you are learning how to be authentically yourself, and in turn, you attract what is meant to find you.
Become unbothered: Becoming unbothered is the first step in embracing the courage to be disliked. An unbothered mindset is the key to showcasing your worth and developing the confidence to live your truth.
Become unreactive: This is the ultimate way to showcase that you know your worth and solidify your boundaries. Being unreactive will upset insecure people, as you are not reacting in the way that they would. This showcases that you are a secure individual who doesn't rely on others to dictate your worth.
