People always have something to say about the way you dress, the way you feel...
but there comes a point when you really canot justify your feelings anymore. come to think of it, your thoughts, your style, your opinions, the very force of your personality cannot be justified anymore..
you're just you.
and the feelings, thoughts, opinions you have are your own. no matter what people say, no matter what they think. you learn to reclaim them and be proud of them, even if they are not entirely appropriate. because the learning process is yours alone, and you fight the demons yourself. your true friends, your family...they are there, but the battle is yours alone.
doubt, a tiny sliver of it can cause untold damage. for once in your life, believe.
for once in your life, be selfish.

Sometimes people tell you things for a reason, and like what you once (I think it was you) told me, you have to look into the intention and purpose of that comment. If it's for your betterment, then maybe you should take it into consideration.
I'm not saying you should embrace it wholeheartedly, but just reflect on it and find the truths in the statement. Don't take things too personally, and when people make comment, just thank them, and go on.
Being selfish might being being stubborn, so be careful. "Leave me alone, I'm like this" is not going to get you very far, but "Thank you, I'll think it about it" might give you some peace and quiet ;)
