The Dark Truth About Being Liked - Machiavelli

Everyone wants to be liked. And you’ve been told that if people like you, everything else will fall into place—success, love, respect, happiness. But deep down, you’ve already sensed the cracks in this fallacy. Because no matter how kind, agreeable, or accommodating you are, you continually get overlooked. You still get used. You still get ignored. And no matter how much you give, you don’t seem to get anything in return. You’ve realised that it’s not the nicest people who rise to the top and get what they want from life. And now, you’ve realised that it’s time to change.
