It’s a waste of your life to try to be like someone else that your haters favor more than you because you’re allowing them to control who you become.

“You’re lucky you get to choose what to be upset about. Others don’t have the privilege.”

They worry so much about interacting with strangers in public that they will procrastinate on important errands just to avoid people.

1. I stopped at a red light and saw an attractive young man jamming out to “Stairway to Heaven,” in a Chevy truck next to me, but as soon as I looked at him, he flashed his blinding white teeth at me as his eyes started oozing out tar and smoke billowed from his nostrils – then the light turned green, but when I pressed on the gas as hard as I could, the engine began to sputter.

3. Being deliberately ignored and excluded

1. You don’t see yourself as too spiritual or too good for this world.

Guilt may hold fast to you, but you’re still moving, despite how much it’s pulling you back.

Those with a strong victim mentality will villainize you for being more fortunate than they are and believe you’re not doing enough to help.

You tend to overanalyze the way you come across to other people, from every single angle possible.

Reach out to a few people you admire. Tell them how your life has changed for the better because of them.

Jealousy is a tell-tale sign that you subconsciously feel like you deserve awards, accomplishments, praise, others’ approval, and other forms of external validation.

You ultimately believe that you can be better than you are now.

You’re still not interacting with people authentically, and you force yourself to maintain a very stiff public face because you fear that if you show your true self, people will think you’re unprofessional and immature.

If I give up on the things I should be doing, then I’m a failure and don’t deserve any success, even if I change my direction in life.

You have two favorite types of writings: lists and personal essays.

Even if you think you’re non-conformist for not watching much TV, you might still enjoy watching a couple of shows that are popular, and you’re inspired by certain characters (hello, Blair Waldorf).

You embrace the freedom that comes from living simply in obscurity.

They let go of the idea of greatness and focus on appreciating the smallest and simplest of joys that they can attain with every passing moment.
