"Je préfère être détesté pour qui je suis plutôt qu'aimé pour qui je ne suis pas"
— Kurt Cobain

Simplified Meaning:
It’s better to be disliked for being your true self than to be liked for pretending to be someone you're not. Authenticity is more important than approval based on a fake persona. Imagine you genuinely love painting, but pretend to love sports just to fit in with a group of friends who don't value art. You might get their approval, but you're hiding your true passions and identity. In the long run, this can make you feel lonely and unfulfilled. By being honest about who you are, you might face criticism, but you’ll attract people who appreciate the real you. Embracing your true self builds genuine relationships and self-respect.
