Do you prefer to be loved for what you are not or to be despised for what you are?

Question

Do you prefer to be loved for what you are not or to be despised for what you are?

Answer 1

It's always better to feel loved than hated.

Answer 2

I see this come up all the time on quotes in blogs, etc. It bothers me.

Why, anyone has to be themselves. If they're not themselves, then who the h**l are they? It's bothersome, to be sure.

If someone wants to think that they can dislike me for something they arbitrarily picked about me, they're welcome to it. But they're an idiot. If someone loves me because of something I'm not, they're being equally stupid and not even paying attention to me.
