They need everyone else to notice how "successful" and marvelous they are.
I don't know where that insecurity comes from, but thank god I don't have it.
I've met other people.
They're idiots.
Why the fuck would I ever care if they're impressed with me or not?
The only person I've ever wanted to impress is myself.
Small, quiet and slow is the way to go.
