When people underestimate you, does it motivate you even more?

I said I wanted to get a roommate after I buy a one - ten million dollar property and them give them a discount on rent in exchange for them doing chores and people kept talking about how I’d be better off living alone and gave me examples of the terrible roommates they previously had. I thought it was disrespectful cause these people have never been at my house or spent a day socializing with me. I’m so likeable and nice, I think I could get billion CEOs fighting to live in the same house as me and these people who have never spent a physical day with me think I’m only capable of getting trailer trash as roommates. I have never even had a friend who smoked weed, or told lies and in university, I went 6 years without hearing a single person swear around me cause I only talk to high class people.

From my experience, the people who underestimate me and tell me I'll never be able to do it, they're the jealous ones. I've written close to 100 novels and short story collections. I may have never published anything, but at least I can say I finished something.

You'll noticed when it comes to your goals and dreams, people bash those the most because they're the easiest to downgrade. And if you do get a roommate that has odd behaviors, it's not about hey they behave, but how they behave toward others.

Me personally, if I had a roommate that smoked weed or was a little eccentric, I could overlook it as long as they're kind towards me and others. A heart is only as good as the love it provides. Honestly, people that are always trying to be 'Normal' are the ones who I feel sorry for.

I have a character in one of my book series that always bashes another character for being too positive, but one day she explained, "If you invited negative people in, they take all the positive light out of your world, and the sun no longer shines."

Live for you. I made a lot of money once and had a lot of friends. In the end, I discovered money only complicates and destroys. And also in the end, the only people I kept around were the ones who appreciated me.

I'd ask yourself if you can trust these people that are saying these negative things to you. If you can't trust them, you probably shouldn't take advice from them. I know I wouldn't.

Not sure. I tend to ignore naysayers and continue on with my plan.

[Pinay_ako]

Yes yes yes. When they say I can’t do it, I say watch me

It would be wise to write that book so you can get that house before you start talking about renting a room in the house.

Usually... most of the time, I just do my thing and let people come up the learning curve.

If it's someone I care about I get offended

If it's just people I get so motivated and set very high expectations just so I can shatter theirs

[AnusNdaPainus]

No it means I’m under the radar right where I need to be 🐍

[Luckycharms12]

Of course love when people underestimate me lights fire under my ass to prove them all wrong

[Nirghata_Vrishaghata]

I don’t normally care what others have to say.

[the_sinner]

It does but only for a short term period.

[riverrat3]

Nope
