The flip side of having likes and followers in social media (or everyday life) is the haters. Like it or not we are all going to have haters. Not everyone is going to like us.
I have never been the popular person. Regardless of how much I wanted everyone to like me, I have always been challenged by those who didn't like me. I always hope that I am a likeable person to most people but sometimes people just don't like me for various reasons.
The reality is that we can't please everyone. So why can't we? People may not like us for many reasons.
Sometimes the reason people don't like us has nothing to do with us. I have encountered many arrogant people who are either excessively critical, selfish or feel the need to be competitive. Some only think of themselves and what benefits them. If you aren't of value then they don't make the effort.
I once had a person in my life who NEVER had a positive thing to say about me and was always critical about everything I did. It bothered me for many years until one day I realized that just because this person had an opinion about me didn't me they were right. I decided to go on and mostly not pay much attention to their issues with me.

We also know that people can be judgmental of us. They will assume things about us because of our looks, financial status, family, etc. They never get to know us. They make assumptions and decide they don't like us from the beginning.
Many times the reason people don't like us isn't about us but a reflection of the other person's own issues and insecurities. We can't always control it and we can't always "win" them over.
The way we deal with it is to do the best that we can and if we don't have anyone who likes or follows us, we just live our lives regardless of what they think of us. Believe me - from a person who lived most of his life trying to please people, you end up being the one that lives a miserable existence. Yes, we should do our best to get along with everyone but when we can't we shouldn't stress out about it.

Stay composed and true to who you are. Set boundaries and choose not to take it personally. Yeah, I know that's hard to do but you will do better when you can be more chill about it. Let go of your need to be liked by everyone. Live with integrity and focus on your own values and goals.
