Serenity... I'm not sure that it's healthy to completely like yourself... I mean,
every aspect of one's self? That would be false pride or conceitedness, wouldn't it?
As far as "expecting" a certain kind of treatment, I think we all have those expectations... either good or bad. If our self esteem is really poor, we
expect people to not like us so we
expect them to ignore us at the very least, while all the time
wanting it to be different.
If we
expect a certain kind of treatment, we believe that we are worthy of it already. If we
want that same treatment and aren't getting it, then wouldn't we look inward and see what about us promotes that bad treatment? Our next logical move would be to change that about ourselves that gives us trouble. Am I making sense? I hope so!

He's making a list and checking it twice...
