Don’t Like Me
It’s fine if you don’t like me. I have high standards, and I don’t expect everyone to meet them. The truth is, I don’t like most people either—not because I’m arrogant, but because I value authenticity, and unfortunately, that’s hard to come by.
I don’t like fakery, and I certainly don’t like how most humans pretend to be something they’re not.
1. High Standards and No Apologies
I Won’t Lower My Standards:
I’ve built my life around values that matter to me, and I’m not going to apologize for having high standards.
These standards aren’t just for others—they’re for myself too.
I expect honesty, integrity, and depth, and I won’t settle for anything less.
If that makes me unlikable, so be it.
Quality Over Quantity:
I don’t need a large circle of people.
I prefer quality over quantity when it comes to relationships.
I’d rather have a few authentic connections than a sea of shallow ones.
If that means fewer people like me, that’s perfectly fine.
I’d rather be surrounded by a few genuine people than many who only pretend.
2. The Problem with Fakery
Why I Can’t Stand Fake People:
What I can’t tolerate is fakery.
People often put on masks, hiding who they really are behind a facade.
I don’t have the patience for that.
Be real, or don’t bother. I value people who are unapologetically themselves, flaws and all.
I don’t care if you’re imperfect; I care if you’re pretending to be something you’re not.
Pretending Won’t Get You Far:
Fakery might get people through the door, but it doesn’t keep them there.
I don’t have time for superficial relationships that are built on lies or pretense.
If you can’t be honest about who you are, then there’s no point in trying to be part of my life.
I’ve seen enough fakeness in the world, and I refuse to invite it into my space.
3. Why I Don’t Like Most Humans
Not Fitting In:
It’s not that I hate humanity—it’s that I don’t fit in with most of it.
Most people are driven by things I can’t relate to: superficial goals, shallow conversations, and fake interactions.
I see through that, and it doesn’t interest me.
I don’t like small talk or shallow relationships, and that puts me at odds with most of the world.
Too Many Masks:
Most humans wear too many masks.
They’re scared to be real—afraid of judgment, rejection, or vulnerability.
I don’t have patience for that. Be who you are, say what you mean, and show up as yourself.
I’m not here to play games or indulge in social niceties that mean nothing.
4. Authenticity Over Popularity
Popularity Is Overrated:
I don’t care if people don’t like me.
Popularity is overrated.
I’d rather be disliked for being real than liked for being fake.
What matters to me is that I stay true to who I am and surround myself with people who value authenticity as much as I do.
Finding My Tribe:
If that means I only connect with a handful of people, so be it.
I’d rather have my tribe of real, authentic people than try to fit in with the masses who are more interested in pretending.
I’m not here to impress or win people over.
I’m here to be real, and if that’s too much for some people, they can keep walking.
5. Don’t Like Me, That’s Fine
You Don’t Have to Like Me:
If you don’t like me, that’s perfectly fine.
I’m not for everyone, and I don’t want to be.
I’m not here to be liked by the world. I’m here to be true to myself.
If you don’t like my high standards, my refusal to tolerate fakery, or my distaste for most humans, then that’s okay.
I’m not changing to please anyone.
Respect Is Mutual:
I may not like most people, but that doesn’t mean I can’t respect them.
Respect is mutual, and even if we don’t see eye to eye, I can respect those who live with integrity and honesty.
But if you’re expecting me to lower my standards to fit in, you’ll be disappointed.
Conclusion: Stay True to Yourself
I know who I am, and I’m comfortable with the fact that not everyone will like me.
I’ve chosen authenticity, high standards, and a life that doesn’t cater to the expectations of others.
I don’t like fakery, and I certainly don’t like most humans because they aren’t willing to be real.
But that’s fine—I don’t need to be liked by everyone.
If you can’t accept who I am, then we’re probably better off without each other.
I’ll continue living by my standards, surrounding myself with people who value the same, and if that means standing alone sometimes, so be it.
