I have to admit, I care more than I care to admit about how much people care about me. Let me rephrase that. I care far too much about my appearance Not just looking good, but saying the right thing at the right moment and being the right mix of funny and serious, and being nice without overdoing it and being thought strangely of. let me get this clear. If you bow to shame, if you alter yourself to fit peoples views and please them, you WILL be a slave for the rest of your life. No alternatives. If your goal is to please people, I'm sorry, but your going to fail. Your going to kiss up to people for the rest of your life, and be thought LESS of for it. Huge amounts of time obsessing over your looks never made anyone respect someone more either. That's not saying to not look your best, but don't live your life a slave to others. Don't live your life a slave to the shame of others. Look it in the face, and TAKE IT. IGNORE it. Shame only has power over you if you give into it.
