You say that you're afraid of being disliked by other people, but you havesome people that you dislike yourself, don't you? Arithmetically speaking,there are an equal number of people who you don't like that don't like youback. I'm not saying that if you end your dislike of someone, someone elsewill stop disliking you as well; it's just that you can't change the fact thatif you dislike someone, then someone else dislikes you as well. Your life willgo much smoother if you just give up and accept that truth.
