YOUR values determine your behavior, not what you think she wants, not what you think others want, but what is best for you and best for the relation… - Mark Manson

But a true and accurate measurement of one’s self-worth is how people feel about the negative aspects of themselves.

We suffer for the simple reason that suffering is biologically useful. It is nature’s preferred agent for inspiring change. We have evolved to always live with a certain degree of dissatisfaction and insecurity, because it’s the mildly dissatisfied and insecure creature that’s going to do the most work to innovate and survive.

I'm increasingly convinced the key to life is simply being yourself. When you hide your personality, you attract high maintenance relationships.
