...most people could care less about me one way or the other -- but some folks actively dislike me.
You never really know if you're pushing hard enough until you ruffle a few feathers along the way.
I'd rather have a few folks "actively dislike me" than worry if I compromised too many times over the years. I haven't and it sounds like you haven't either. I think we're both doing fine.
Once I started getting glowing reviews from the clueless, then I'd start to worry.
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoYou never really know if you're pushing hard enough until you ruffle a few feathers along the way. I used to think if I worked hard enough, I could get anybody to like me. When people didn't, I viewed it as some sort of personal mistake. Now I'm thinking that random chance has a lot to do with it. The more people you interact with, the more who are not going to like you -- there is always going to be that 1-5%. Oddly enough from this position I am beginning to see the logic of your point, although I have never taken it to heart. The more real work you are doing, the more people you interact with, the more change you make -- of course is going to ruffle feathers. You can't help it.
