Also, when we like ourselves, we won't attract as many people who don't like us into our experience. I have an article called, What Other People Think About You Is None Of Your Business.

I always need to examine my motives and my desire to be a ‘people pleaser.’ Sometimes I am far too influenced what other people think of me. This often causes me to be something I am not.
