What's wrong, baby?
Don't they treat you like they should?
Did you take 'em for it?
For ev'ry penny that you could...?
We once walked out on the beach
And once I almost touched your hand...
Oh, how I dreamed to finally say such things
If only to pretend...

The main thing is - it's never good to feel the need to ask others what they think of you. Don't base your conclusions about yourself on other people's opinions; make up your own mind instead. If you let other people have an effect on what you think of yourself at a basic level, if you care what they think, then you're dependent on them and at their mercy. Don't worry about what I or anyone else thinks, it's simply irrelevant.

And if, despite that, you're still curious, then look at how people act toward you; that's what they think of you. Most likely what we do will be more honest than anything we say.

Thank you, mister logic. =P

I'm just nosy.

"The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you." ~Elbert Hubbard

If there's anyone whose opinion of you that you should care about, it's your friends.

Also, often times a friend will hold in minor annoyances with someone because they don't want to make trouble. Submerged, they can simmer and eventually make trouble. Instead, it's good to go ahead and ask a friend if anything you do is bothering them, so you can change anything aggrivating you're doing and make their time with you more satisfying.

Your statement is selfish, and your contingency is vague and doesn't get to the real issue.

Besides, it isn't like she's basing her self-value on our responses. The fact that we're friends with her is proof enough that we think she's great. She's just looking for feedback. Like a restaurant comment card, maybe.

No, don't start shit, Kyle.
Not with Louis anyway.
He is admittedly selfish, but...that's okay. You'd understand, if you knew him, I guess. You'd have to hear his views on life in general and all. -shrug-

-cough-

It's not like I was intentionally starting anything... I've felt that way (like he was talking) myself sometimes. But that's the way we should think about people we don't know, not our friends.

The only thing I said that I find even mildly biting is calling his statement selfish, and I wanted to be completely clear to get my point across. I never called him anything, or even knew who he was, for that matter.

Didn't you say once that I remind you of Louis? If so, this is a big gap in the idea. In fact, I feel like my friends define me as a person.

There's a reason people hang up pictures of their friends alongside posters of bands and movies, pretty paintings, and other representations of their intrests.

Sorry. Kinda went off on a tangent there.
