    “Great” is such a strong word. Let’s just say that I’m in a constant state of self-improvement. And as long as people make an attempt at being respectful, I try to take constructive criticism for what it is meant to be. Of course, there is a wee bit of bias in those two statements, so I’ll leave it to the community at large to call bullshit if it’s needed. 😊

      Everyone should be in a state of self-improvement. But sometimes you do need to take a step back and realize that you are orders of magnitude harder on yourself than anyone (that you would want to be around) will be.

      You said your friends and family think you’re fun and enjoy being around you. Do you think your friends and family are actually shitty people just stringing you along for the fun of it? Do you trust them in other aspects?

      I was talking to a friend about this one time and he cut me off and just said “that’s hurtful man. Why would you say that about me?” and that really gave me some insight. Because I was telling myself “my friends are all fake”, but what my friends here is “i dont believe you are there for me”.
