  • Your needing people to care about you is pushing people away.
  • Others want to feel cared for.
  • Others are in their own heads; their own struggles.
  • You must acknowledge this, and make the first move.
  • This takes courage and forgetting yourself.
  • What has helped me is realising there is no ‘self’ to protect anyway.
  • Your idea of ‘self’ is in your mind.
  • People thinking they have any kind of ‘identity’ makes them need others to confirm it.
  • We’re a walking gaseous mass of stories and beliefs.
  • You do not have an identity outside your thoughts. You are free.
  • To receive love is counterintuitive. You must first give it.
  • This does not mean giving to be liked. This means giving without expectation.
  • You must put your attention outwards, no matter how much you are hurting.
  • When you do that, your self-consciousness will go away.
  • Wake others and you won’t worry about getting the attention you thought you deserved.
