Anna, I'm not that familiar with you, but I noticed that you placed much emphasis on the number of friends you have. Thus I'm going to take an educated guess that you don't have many (if any) friends in your life. Maybe you've been told that you weren't good enough, smart enough, funny enough, or pretty enough. You just don't "fit" in.

I applaud your courage to be who you really are, but I'm concerned that some people (with intent or not) are validating those negative beliefs. I refuse to do so.

It's your world
That you want to have a little pride in
Your world
And that's not a place you have to hide in
Life's not worth a dam
Till you can say
I am what I am
