Who you expect to recognize you will enslave you. Always worrying about what others say about you, not fitting in enough, but how to break the cycle? I am no longer interested in leaving a good impression on everyone; what you see is me, I won't refute the good or the bad. You understand me to the extent you do, and you get the version of me that you deserve. This core is really super stable, not defined by anyone. We cannot use others' evaluations to correct ourselves, giving away our own power. If praised for being capable, just silently bear it all; if praised for being good, then give wholeheartedly. Living in the eyes of others will lead to dying by their words, so don't be enslaved. Embrace your own freedom, and regard others' gazes as flickering ghost lights. Boldly walk your own path at night; being yourself is truly high-level.
