Continuing with the Quote Challenge started a few days ago. Another of my many favorite quotes is this one... Don't worry if someone doesn't like you. Most people are struggling to like themselves. ~Karen Salmansohn I used to worry about others liking me. It bothered me if someone did not want to be friends. But, over the years life has taught many lessons. If you like yourself and you are happy, don't worry about the rest. Feel free to add a quote below. And you can also start a post of your own. No rules, just trying to share a little inspiration.

It’s a perfect quote and rings true. We must all learn to accept ourselves for who we are. For some reason, I’ve been very fortunate to have had lots of friends throughout school and adult life. I try to zero in on those that appear quiet and shy. That may be because I feel like that on the inside.

I have to agree with you. Lessons learned in life. Most outgoing people do have a shy side to them that not many people see.

This quote is so true! I used to worry about what people thought about how I looked, then I realized that most people are too worried about the same thing for themselves!

This is a great quote! I enjoy quotes and used to keep a file full of them when I was a teen. They can be very inspiring and make us feel like someone out there really gets it.

That's a good quote. I think your post reminds me of the different quotes from my past. A good one I saw almost every day in college hung on a door - Knowledge available, bring your own container.

@CarolDM The only thing I live by is the Bible, which is probably why I'm not familiar with a lot of quotes.

What Karen says is so true. Let others think what they want. Let us enjoy life and the blessings we have.

It's human nature to want to be liked and accepted; so you have to overcome that feeling.

Yes you are right, but we cannot be so consumed if we are not part of a group or person. I call it acceptance of ourselves.

How true! I've always liked this quote too. Karen Salmansohn has a lot of wisdom. I've seen her speak on TV and I follow her FB page.

There's a quote about if everyone likes you then you're a hypocrit. And there's this mean quote : You don't like me ? Good, it's not like i wake up everyday to impress you.
