thought.

So, I noticed that a lot of people have those statuses where it says something like, "Like this status and I'll tell you..". I'm guilty of always "liking" it too. But the first thing I thought of was, "Wow. A lot of people like to hear nice things about themselves". But then, I thought about it some more. It's not that they're self-centered or anything. In all honesty, it's caused by insecurity. Insecurity of not being what society says you should be. The mere fear of not living up to an expectation. Not everyone can be 100% confident in themselves 100% of the time. We have our moments of weakness. And some more than others. Also, another reason could be the need for reassurance. If someone is constantly surrounded by negatives, it's inevitable that gradually that person will become negative as well. People love positives because it's attracting. It's comforting. It's reassuring. Reassuring that even through all the bullshit, mistakes, and regrets, somewhere along the line, people are able to see the good in you, whether or not you can see it within yourself.
