Here's the truth: No matter how many friends or acquaintances you possibly can have, the only person that is consistently trustworthy is, yourself. Only you can provide the strongest constructive criticism, make yourself feel like shit about your talents or about your looks and have absolutely no worries about being brutally honest with just about anything. And keep in mind that any friend, family member, fuck! even some random stranger can provide the exact same insights for that matter, but the problem is that friends, family or strangers just might be saying things only to bring you down. When in reality only you can fully trust yourself to be honest from within.

One of the bigger human behavioral issues noted ( If not the biggest ) is the fear of rejection, and to counteract that feeling, one will behave or react in the exact opposite in order to regain self reassurance. At one point or another everyone yearned for the desire to be accepted, acknowledged or just wanting to "fit in". And so, it's easy to say “I don’t give a fuck of what people think of me” but yet, it’s a lot harder to actually live in that statement and if were not careful, we can even find ourselves molded into someone that really isn't us, just to have people like who “we are”.

Most importantly, at the end of the day, I do not go home to question my actions nor do I look at myself in the mirror feeling miserable nor disgusted. Of course, we’ve all shared some ( if not several ) unforgettable personal experiences of shame in our lives, and naturally, it's never a pleasant feeling. But neither is lying in bed questioning your daily life choices, all because you don't come to grounds with who you really are.
Now, if I were to question my actions everday it would end up with the same conclusion, which is, I wouldn’t have done anything differently from what was already done by me, because I maintain true to who I am as a unique individual. If people can’t accept me for who I am, then they shouldn't be the people I want to be associated with. After all, don’t they want me, to accept them, for who they are??
It’s a two way street, that most of us ignore.
