It's not fair

— Susan Sontag, from “Death Kit,” (1967) (via lunamonchtuna)

What I’m not about to do is shrink myself just to make others comfortable. I’ve done that before, especially in dating and social situations—toning myself down to seem more easygoing or likable. But the truth is, I carry myself with confidence, and that’s not something I’m willing to suppress just to fit into spaces that were never meant for me. It’s not my job to ease other people’s insecurities by pretending to be someone I’m not.

When you’re feeling lonely, it’s easy to fall into that trap because the need for connection can be strong. But when you know who you are and stand firmly in it, your perspective changes. You stop worrying about whether people like you and start asking if you actually like them. The right people won’t be put off by your presence. They’ll appreciate it, respect it, and be drawn to the very things that set you apart.
