Summary
- You will be disliked whether you're true to yourself or trying to be someone others expect. Only one of these paths may lead to self-hatred, which happens if you aren't genuine.
- Being your true self might not stop others from disliking you, but at least you can love yourself for who you truly are.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing self-reflection as a daily practice. Spend a few minutes each day to think about who you are and what makes you unique. This helps ensure you're being true to yourself instead of trying to please others.
A good way of doing this is by keeping a journal. Write about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This helps you understand your true self better and boosts self-awareness without needing to spend money or time beyond a few minutes each day.
Another strategy is to surround yourself with supportive people who encourage authenticity. Reach out to a friend or community group that values honesty, and spend time with them. This can be done with little cost and serves as a reminder that being yourself is enough.
Lastly, practice positive self-talk. When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts about needing to change for others, replace them with affirmations of self-acceptance. It's a simple mental switch that costs nothing but fosters self-love.
These steps keep you aligned with your true self and reduce the risk of self-hatred, even if some people don't appreciate who you are. Remember, being genuine might not change others' opinions, but it changes how you feel about yourself.
