INSIGHT

Don't Take Negative Opinions Personally

  • We shouldn't care about what people who dislike themselves think of us. Their negative opinions reflect their own self-dislike, not our worth.
  • Giving importance to their views is pointless since they can't hold a positive opinion even about themselves.
ADVICE

Reject Approval from Self-Critics

  • Avoid seeking approval from people who don't have self-respect. Their validation holds no real value for you.
  • Focus instead on your own self-worth and not on the opinions of such people.
