Rather profound , I inadvertently did this years ago in fact while still in school . My Dad solidified it for me after coming home frustrated with an individual , I said "that son-of-blah blah blah , did XYZ " my Dad said who ? When I explained he said who? , rhetorically meaning he's nobody to me and he's nobody to yo either.

Thanks Bud! That means a lot to me.

It's hard to let go what people think of you because you are conditioned during school years. As you get to mid life - times a ticking so being yourself gets easier.

When you realize how little you mean to people outside of your family/friend circle , pushing yourself to impress people outside of that circle is pointless.

Agree with this. Being yourself is the way to be. There will be people you have little in common with, people who have no interest in you and you them, and others who you just connect with on all levels. Being fundamentally you attracts more of them. Thanks for writing, I just subscribed.
