Summary

This quote suggests that it is more valuable and authentic to be yourself, even if it means being disliked by others, rather than pretending to be someone you're not just to gain superficial affection. It encourages individuals to embrace their true identity and values, recognising that genuine love and acceptance will come from those who appreciate and embrace them for who they truly are. It prioritizes integrity and self-acceptance over the desire for approval from others.
