I used to try to please everybody and be nice to all people and nobody gave a fuck. I used to go out of my way to do something they'd like to stand out from the rest but all I got was a thanks or an entitled answer.

Now I don't give a fuck because my inner game is to the point where I don't need approval from anything or anyone.

Now people bend to me. They get butthurt If I'm not base-level nice or If I don't buy into how great they think they are. & because I do that, they give me special treatment to get their little validation back.

They go out of their way to show their approval to me. The more I don't give a fuck about it, the harder they try.

I can do a super small gesture of kindness, and it's a big deal to them. They think we're friends now. I'm afraid of being nice to a girl because she will interpret it as me trying to hit on her or something.

When I wanted their approval, nobody gave it to me. Now that I don't give a fuck about it, I can't get enough of it.
