You are a reflection of the world. Anything you can find out there, you can find inside first. If you want meaning in the world, you'll need to find meaning in yourself. If you want approval from others, find approval from within. |
Yeah.. but I just can't see myself getting approval from myself. Plus I think sorting out the caring about what other's think too much problem is more important.

Very good. So the next time they call you out, just say no. If it's pointless, don't do it! Your life is too precious to waste on pointless things. |
Yeah well I guess I don't want to lose any kind of opportunity to socialize.

Oh, and don't worry about "reputation". You said yourself that you don't have a reputation with these guys, so doing things to "protect my reputation" is the most pointless thing you can do.

You don't think I know this ? The problem is the emotional reaction not my rational understanding.

Stopping to care is not the solution.
Making sure that YOU are in control of your emotions, rather than the other way around, is the key.
I won't lie to you. It ain't going to be easy, and it will probably take you a long time to master. But you can do it. And believe me, once you get there, it will be worth the effort.

Oh well.. I've been trying to master some emotions for the past few years and it has only gotten worse. The only thing I improved in is understanding where all the emotions come from and how pointless everything is.

And if it isn't... well, lets just say that if you don't have the courage for relatively small things (such as standing up to your friends), you aren't ready for this ultimate journey.

How can you know ? Maybe whatever happens after death has no connection whatsoever with the way you lived life.

No need to rush, though. You have all the time in the world. Proceed as slowly or as speedily as you wish. After all, it's your show.
Good luck

Well not really, I'm not immortal (and gladly so).
