There’s a misconception that we should be liked by everyone we come across. The issue with this line of thinking is that everyone is different, so being well-liked by everyone is impossible task.

There are many things that differentiate the human from the animal. One of those things is the need to stay busy. Plenty of animals would be happy doing absolutely nothing, knowing that they have love, shelter and food, of course. They have no problem spending the rest of their days doing nothing.
