References that you're a jerk?

Nope. So...if you think you really are one, embrace it or change it. And if you think I care what others think about you, I don't. I don't care what they think about me, so how could I care what they think about you? The first one who has to like you is you.
"I am who I am, and you either like me or you don't."
I just strive to be the best me I can. And yes, there are people who don't like me, too. I just don't worry about how they feel about me...though I do check to see if I did something in particular that I shouldn't have, and apologize and try to rectify it if I did. If not, I carry on with my life.
Sorry...I'll get off my soapbox. I just hate to see someone put themselves down.
