118: Some People Will Think You Suck No Matter What You Do

People would think that no matter what you do, you suck.
There will always be some jerk who thinks you’re just pretty with no talent.
And there’s nothing you can do to avoid it.
Uninformed people making blanket statements

Nobody has the right to an opinion unless they’ve done the exact same thing you want. Helpful advice is always welcome, but I’m talking about uninformed people making blanket statements, making you feel unsure, and anxious about your decisions. 

02:30- 02:47 Helpful advice is always welcome, but I’m talking about uninformed people making blanket statements designed to give you a co-blanket, make you feel unsure, and anxious about your decisions.
02:48- 02:59 For example, You can’t make it in showbiz because you’re too short, You need a degree for that, You’re not qualified to do that, There’s no money in that, I tried that once, didn’t work. 
03:00- 03:27 They always sound like they know they are talking about because they are so damn sure of themselves. And just because someone put it on the internet, doesn’t mean it’s true. It can be shocking how unsupportive and actually downright bitchy other people can be when your life starts to take off. You’ll start to get all sorts of well-meaning advice which means criticism in disguise.

03:28- 04:15 Leading an exceptional or unconventional life can be really threatening for some people. But remember, that’s it’s their stuff, it's not yours. As silly as it sounds, most of us are more worried about what random strangers say than our loved ones. After all, our partner or our mum is unlikely to outright say “you suck and you have no talent”, but people on the internet will and do that to us. People still love to give their criticism in the form of “wisdom” or “advice” and you cannot please everyone so don’t even try. However, negative press or a bad review should be celebrated, it means you’re moving into a new level of success.

04:16- 04:37 The first piece of negative feedback can often be devastating and can make you cry, but it’s the fear of the potential criticism that can cut the most. As Mark Twain said, “I’ve known many troubles in my life – most of which never happened.”


You will never please people 
08:17- 08:43 Some people will think you suck no matter what you do. It’s the truth. You will never please those people who live off complaints and revel in other people’s failure. You can and make yourself small to make other people feel better about themselves but the truth is that you are already a success story and someone will always be threatened by that.

Key Takeaways:

1. There’s no money in that.


2. You need a degree for that.


3. You’re not qualified to do that.


4.  I tried that once, but it didn't work. 


5. You can’t make it in showbiz because you’re too short.
