What fact did you learn too late in life?

I had been hanging out with this group of guys. I guess we were all in our mid 20s at the time. I didnt really know all of them as i was introduced to the group through a friend i knew for better than 5 or so years. We would mainly all get together on monday night to watch the football game. Soon after a few weeks it tuned into us all going out to clubs, going to ars, even a few barbq's. i thought i was well liked but low and behold one night i was in this guys car as he was giving me a ride to my car because we car pooled. I mean I dont remember but i think he offered to give me a ride, but anyways this guy and I didnt really interact much while everyone was hanging out and i never thought about it much. But halfway to our destination that night out of nowhere he just looks over and says, "I dont like you.". I was shocked. I didnt do shit to the dude. I was a super nice guy to everyone in the group. I dont to this day have a clue why he said that. I basically had nothing to say and laughed at him and said...OK man...and we stayed quiet until i got out of the car. That was the last time i hung out with the group. They would always call and ask me what i was up to but i just felt like well shit If im not liked for some reason and we are all supposed to be friends then what the fuck am i doing? So i said fuck it and found some new friends. Im sure others didnt like me either but they maybe didnt have the balls to say it. Maybe he said it for them. Who knows. But moral is lifes too short too worry about people that dont like you. Thats their probem and not much you can do to fix it if you hjavent done anything wrong and are just being yourself. Maybe because i was an attractive male who got attention? Thats all i could think at the time. This has been over 20 years ago so this comment brought back some memories.

Fuck people if they dont like you. Find some new friends and never look back.
