“And I know I struggle with rejection, so I don’t give people the chance to reject me. I search for physical connections with people to feel validated, because I need someone else to prove to me that I’m wanted. So I call myself self aware because I know those things about myself, but in reality, I don’t know anything about myself. I say I’m my own person, but every choice I make is because of something someone else did. That isn’t being my own person.”
