It always seems like the more people get to know me, the less they actually like me. At first, it seems very promising, but over time, they start noticing the flaws, which are mainly the things I say and believe in. The things I don’t hide as well. It I’m only tolerable in small doses, and eventually, they just drift away or turn cold.
Friends want their egos and worldviews validated. They want to feel good, not be real.
