Either way, you are a whole and complete individual that exists outside of other people’s perceptions. If you live believing that you’re merely the sum of the way you are seen by others, you are going to have a very empty life. Be alone for a while — intentionally. Discover who you are when nobody else is around. Discover what you like when nobody else is there to tell you what to like. Discover what you want when nobody else is there to tell you what you want.
