- "You're lying. That's why you feel depressed and empty. Because you're afraid to feel. That doesn't mean you need to call him in desperation. but you need to feel it, to not be afraid to feel it. Admit that it hurts... This is why you do drugs. This is why you feel terrible. You think it's because you feel everything too much. But it's not. It's that you don't feel things enough. All those times that you panic and get hysterical waiting for some guy, any guy, to call you, it's not because your feelings are exaggerated. It's because you don't feel at all... So you overreact to nothing, but that overreacting is not feeling- it's reacting. If you just sat there and said to yourself that it hurts and there's nothing you can do, you'd get through it. Instead you drive yourself crazy wishing these things didn't hurt. You feel stupid and bad about yourself for being bothered and then you drive yourself crazy. That's what's inappropriate. Before you even know a guy well enough to be attached to him, you feel deeply, because you are so desperate to feel something, and then you sabotage it. You don't give it a chance to get to the point where real feelings would be appropriate."
- Your whole thing is that you want people to like you anyway. You want people to like you in spite of yourself, and that's kind of a lot to ask... But it doesn't have to be that way. You can just be cool. instead of being the difficult girl, you should just be the cool girl."
