<p>Our lives have become a collection of other's thoughts and judgements. The fear of judgement is rooted so deep within us that before anyone else, we start judging ourselves. </p>

It's Not Others Who Think, It's Us Who Assume What They Think

Taylor Swift said once, "The scary news is, you are on your own now. But the cool news is, you are on your own now" The fear of loneliness has been injected into our minds since we were kids. We have learned that the kid who eats, & sits alone, and has no friends is pathetic. In every book/movie, the kid with no friends is always featured as a weak character who needs to be saved. No one wants to be seen as a 'weirdo' hence, our dread of being alone. We don't want people to think of us as unwanted or not fitting in with the cool kids. We don't want people to think that no one chose us. So what do we do? We start becoming like an ideal version of whom everyone loves.
