You don't like me - I don't like you...

I found out today that this person who I showed houses to yesterday - you know the ones - don't trust my wisdom in Real Estate. SO....basically b/c I am young. He would prefer to work with someone else who is older and perhaps a man. Well, he IS a man but I meant perhaps that is another reason. I didn't feel good about this person from the minute we met. And I must say, I have excellent initial judgement with people. ANYWAY - there were a few things that happened yesterday that just weren't right. No need to get into them right now. I found out today that this person would probably prefer to work with someone else. And at first I was irritated and worried - maybe I was too casual, maybe I should have known more, maybe I should have spoken differently. But then - I realized not everyone needs to like me. I certainly didn't like him. So I think it's worked out best. In this business, when people blatantly blow you off, you can really take it personally. It can get you down. But after 5+ years, I KNOW I am a good Realtor, so I don't need others to think it too. SO much in my life I have worried about what people thought of me....but to be honest, I don't love all the people I know. We forget that it goes both ways.
It's a mature and enlightened way of thinking. This is the 41 year old me. Took a long time to get me here, that is for sure. However, damning these people to hell for wasting my time is not beneath me ......
