I am immensely unimportant.
I think it's sad that they told you this because what we come to believe sometimes manifests itself in our lives. When I am really feeling happy, sometimes I get happy looks right back. An example would be when I was working at an event and cracked a huge ear to ear smile in the direction of a guy that was also working there because he was just so nice and cute (he was only around 25 years old)--having seen exactly how I was looking at him, as our eyes met, he immediately walked up to me and asked, "Is there anything I can get you? A bottle of water? A Monster drink (the Monster vendor that day was handing them out to us for free)? If I was in an anxious or unhappy mood--I would not have gotten that reaction.

I felt like my dad loved me unconditionally and I tried to do that for my children. I don't know if it was the right thing or not (one of my dad's favorite sayings was "you can't spoil a rotten egg" ) but that was the way I wanted to be because I wanted to be like my dad. He made me feel so loved that I mostly tend to assume people like me too (yes, I know I can be annoying and am not that talented but I don't often feel unlovable or that no one cares). It might be all in my head. Half of the life I experience is just what is going on in my head anyway. Sometimes the same tracks just play over and over in my head. It's only real because I am thinking it!
