I privately dread being that person that is unliked. So much so that at times I fear it is becoming self-perpetuating. I mostly shut up, for fear of being misunderstood.
A fact of life is that nobody is going to be liked by everybody. That's just not how people work. Trying to ensure everyone likes you is a bit like trying to ensure that the weather is great every day.
Maybe I should use this as a handout.
