How to become a grown-up in 468 easy(ish) steps.

Step 29: Acknowledge that not everyone who dislikes you is jealous of you.

They probably just don’t like you. And that’s OK. Do you like every person you meet? Every song you hear? Every food you taste? Extrapolate that. All around this world, there are people of all stripes — men and women, young and old, of every color and station — who, for whatever their reasons, do not or would not like you. Just move on.

Except, side note: Wouldn’t it be awful to be in a stadium with all the people in the world who are prone to not like us? It seems improbable, but I hope that never happens.
