Because everybody has critical opinions about people they love as well as total strangers. It is a fact of life. Embrace it and accept it. Instead of trying to change reality, start using it to your advantage. Let Them. Here’s another truth: Just because someone has a negative opinion doesn’t mean they feel negatively about you as a whole. I can think a bad thought about my husband and still love him and treat him with so much respect and kindness, because two things can be true at once. You can be annoyed by the way someone is acting and still love them to death.
