Reality

How others treat you doesn't measure you as a person,
        but how you treat them.
How you are in front of other people doesn't make you better than them,
        but how you are when they're not there.

What others think of you is none of your business,
        so you don't need to guess.
What others tell you doesn't define you,
        so stop being bitter.

Life is short to waste your time worrying of others
        if they don't like you, they won't even bother
You only live once so make the full out of it
        embrace life because this is reality, so learn to deal with it.

A very empowering poem. So much truth in it. The important thing is not to react to other people's reaction of you, but show how you feel about yourself and how you treat them. This is a very good write!

I agree 100%. I stopped fretting over how other people judge me years ago. It's a never-ending highway to misery. If we're always trying to be what other people want us to be, it's like living a phony life; never finding our own self.
