Man shares personal story

A young South African man, Andile, hopped on TikTok to inspire people. The chap started a series, Healing a Billion Hearts to uplift others.

In a recent video, he talked about the importance of freeing oneself from the opinions of others and shared his personal story of how he was able to break free:

“You have to develop the ability to be disliked, therefore, you outgrow and free yourself of the opinions of others. I’ve had friends who told me that my childishness is the reason why I have never had sex. You don’t know how much confidence in me I’ve lost from that one thing alone, and looking back, I’d be free to do anything I want.”

Andile did not let that one statement break him, instead, it empowered him to be himself without the slightest care for what the next person thought about him. The young man’s words touched 93.5K people who watched the now-viral video.

Andile shared:

“I didn’t know that arrogant people focused on the flaws of others, while weak people focus on their insecurities, but strong people focus on their strengths.”

He captioned his well-performing clip:

“Day 31: You have to develop the ability to be disliked.”
