It's a reality that the world only cares about what you offer it. It's not so much about who you are (nice, smart, funny, etc.) but what you do to contribute. That's what living in a society is, with everyone doing and contributing. The trick is finding a group where you both give AND take because you need what the others in the group offer and they need what you offer. That can be very difficult, though. I struggle with it, myself.
