You’re Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea

  You’re Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea

It’s normal to encounter people who just don’t click with you. Their opinions aren’t the measure of your value – true worth comes from within. Psychologists define self-worth as an intrinsic belief in your own value, “independent of external achievements or validation”. In other words, you remain worthy even if someone fails to see it. In fact, research shows that our sense of self-esteem ultimately starts on the inside, not the outside. Over time, facing rejection can even build inner strength: people often emerge from adversity with greater self-knowledge and confidence. One resilience guide notes that many who struggle report “a greater sense of strength… [and] increased sense of self-worth” after overcoming difficulties.

  • 💡 Key Points: Others’ opinions don’t define your value. True confidence comes from within. Overcoming setbacks often leads to growth in strength and self-worth.
