This resonates with me sooo much. And you summarized it perfectly with these words:

"The real goal isn’t being liked by everyone, but letting go of the need to be liked by everyone.

That shit is a long and difficult process."

I've spent YEARS trying to de-program myself from that way of thinking. I'm just about there. But unfortunately, I hear it whenever I am around my mother. It makes me IN-sane. I try to point out to her why she needs to think differently. But it's impossible. I see where I learned it from and am proud that I've recognized how unhealthy and just wrong it is. I'm aware of my thoughts most days. And thrilled with my growth.
