Reality TV World: Because of critics on social media and the fame The Bachelor brings -- which can have both positive and negative effects -- did you have any reservations about starring on the show when it became time to make that decision?  

Ben Higgins: No. Because I think personally -- and this might just be because of my friends and family supporting me -- but it's almost like, the people that love you are going to love you, and the people that aren't, I don't want to try to go out of my way or force myself to be a different person for other people to like me. 

You're never going to make everybody happy. But when it comes to your question, and I think that it is something everyone needs to consider, I don't think you can hold yourself back from opportunities because of a fear of what people are going to say or think.

With this opportunity, I felt it was right, and everything aligned for it to happen. So I wanted to do it! And that's how I want to do life. I don't want to be fearful of what everybody is going to think all the time. That's paralyzing.
