Unfortunately, people are constantly making impressions or images of themselves continuously as grown-ups, and sometimes the popularity contest never ends. But really, hopefully, Margo was finally able to escape that. I don't think it's easy for people to change that about themselves, but it seems that Margo wanted real close friends eventually, and to be more herself with others. (less)
