"There’s a curious narcissism to feeling unworthy of acceptance; I’ve heard it referred to as feeling like “the piece of shit at the center of the universe.” What I’m trying to get at is nobody really cares that much what you do or how long it takes you to do it or who you do it with; they’re too busy worrying about their own life. Real friends don’t care who you date so long as that person is good to you and makes you happy. What will make you happy? It might not be what will make you feel successful or like you’ve proved yourself."
