Well, GUESS WHAT, friends! It's even worse being completely irrelevant! With them, they have a ton of people who love them and a few who hate them. With me, people either hate me or don't care.

5k followers, steadily gaining popularity, still not satisfied, craving for crumb and bits of these never-lasting happiness to feed their ego.
Dude, it's normal to feel a little
jealous. But I honestly wouldn't want you to end up like this person who craves these until it defines them. She may look like she's happy, but she has already expressed her un-satisfaction about not having enough people that look up to her. Ask yourself, do you want to be like her, being entangled in this vicious cycle of never having to experience complete satisfaction?
I have a friend who is may be similar to her in terms of traits and obsession with self-attention, but we just acknowledge that they're conditioned to behave this way and learn lessons from there instead of being the judge.
I can fully understand how it feels to be looked as
irrelevant. I don't know how I can describe it to allow you to understand why we should look away from the word irrelevance. I'm not going to be like...follow you and give you the attention your mind wants, but rather, make you understand that you have to re-evaluate about what your mind is trying to direct you at.
