Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
you don't have to convince anybody who you are. even if they're your parents and misunderstand you. it happens. focus on doing good yourself. satisfy yourself before satisfying others--it's not about ego, it's about having sane priorities. when you do good, people eventually see it without having to convince them.
Another soul answered...
Stop caring what other people think. Just work on yourself. Learn some skills and start building things and dont give up. Stop being a useless prick and man the fuck up. Put the discipline in, stick with something and become a great man, and stop wining like a little bitch.
