“When given the choice about whether to displease someone and protect myself or help someone and exhaust myself, I would almost always land on option C: hurt myself badly, even though no one had really asked me to do that. I wanted, I know now, to be loving and loved, to be needed and necessary, to be so generous that I was above censure and so kind that I was above being subjected to anyone’s cruelty.”
― Lena Dunham, Famesick
