The common advice of, “Not everyone is going to like you” is bad advice and is almost always used as a coping mechanism for people with bad personalities

I understand that this is advice has well-meaning intentions. Sometimes people, especially children, may get frustrated over doing their best so a person likes them, but they still don’t. I am not referring to this though.

Pretty much everyone who I have met in my life who has uttered something of this nature is a person who is disliked not because they are so great or awesome, but because they have serious character flaws or are just generally an unpleasant person to be around. It seems to me that although this is some advice intended to help people who may be struggling a bit with interpersonal relationship, it has been almost entirely highjacked by people who most definitely should change things about themselves to be more approachable and pleasant but now they can just shake it off with a lame excuse.?
