The perks of being a wallflower

Strange isn't it that people don't like you, irrespective of being friendly. No matter how often that happens, we never get used to it. I feel curious to know why? Are you really so bad and unpleasant? Definitely not, you are as good and amazing, as any one of us here. Then, why this situation in your life? Do you like the people whom you claim to be so friendly with? Have you really been nice to them, always with no kind of grudges or despair within? Is your friendship genuine, or just for the sake of having someone around? Oh, I learned to handle it because I had to, but it's never comfortable to be disliked. Of course other people's reactions matter to you. This is also true for all of us to some extent or other, even those people who like to shout about how little they care what anyone thinks. If they really didn't care, they wouldn't need to tell all of us that they don't. You get over it because if you don't, you'll never leave your room. You get over it because not everyone dislikes you and not all judgments are bad. You get over it because you live in a community filled with people, some of whom are very nice and helpful and like you. That's how you get over it, by having a sense of perspective. Don't worry, sometimes we meet people, who may not realize the goodness in you, same as sometimes, we fail to recognize in others. Just let it be. Be nice to people anyways, because we never know, what they are going through in their life. Everyone has a cross to carry just like us.
