Oh, Garrett, you have no idea just how much people really do like you- you don't even give them the chance.

I know that I, for one, have longed to have your friendship for as long as I have known you, and in trying to obtain it, you just look at me as if I am insane. Perhaps I am, but the point is that you have the same high expectations that you suspect others have of you. And if you don’t, then you certainly act as if you do. Whenever I try to talk to you, all I expect is you to be generally nice to me and have something somewhat interesting to say- I don't expect you to be perfect; and you know something, Garrett, no one wants you to be, because otherwise they would feel uncomfortable and inferior just as it seems that you do.

I can assure you, Garrett, that you are incredibly intelligent, and I imagine that you would be loads of fun to talk to if I didn't have to watch what I said because I was afraid that you would push me away.

I DO like you, Garrett; I wish that you would talk to me every once in awhile, and I wish that you could start to see (even just slightly) that you are a good person and deserving of self-confidence and good friends. Because I must be honest (and possibly slightly mean, although it is not meant to be) you will never get over these feelings of inferiority just by people such as myself telling you how great you are, for I have been in the same boat as you, and I know that I always found reasons to reject what they were saying.

I know that I have been rather tough on you, Garrett, but I will tell you this: I really do care about you, and I know that there are others that care about you too. You ARE a good person that deserves happiness and strong friendships, Garrett. I know that you will go far (much farther than I, I am sure) as long as you (enter cliché!) “believe in yourself.” I know that that is a horrible cliché, but it is true- you will never be happy unless you know you are entitled to happiness.

I wish you the best of luck on your task at hand (realizing that you are NOT inferior to ANYONE!) and I hope that I have not offended you too terribly. It is meant to help, sir.

You can talk to me anytime (unless you are incredibly offended and hate me forever),

Dear Garrett,

I realized that I was incredibly bitchy and cruel, and for that I apologize. Just ignore all the mean stuff, and multiply the nice stuff by 134,987!
