"You need thick skin, instead of having everyone around you feel sorry for you." Let's get something perfectly clear. I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me. I've gone through my entire life just being myself, and in doing so I have kept my collection of friends narrowed down to the only ones I need. If you talk to me because you feel sorry for me, go home. If you talk to me because you think I'm lonely, go home. I'm really not a charity case. If I lose friends because I don't want pity, I'm all the better for it, because the people who are friends with me for me are the only ones that matter. I'm not going to lose sleep because I lose fake friends. "To all of you, uh, all you phonies, all of you two-faced friends, you sycophantic suck-ups who smile through your teeth at me, please leave me in peace. Please go. Stop smiling. It's not a joke. Please leave. The party's over. Get out." -Bruce Wayne, Batman Begins #realfriends #fakefriends #justbeyourself #truetoself #goth #batman #nerd #outcast #creatures #openyourmindbeforeyourmouth #cuttingoutnegativity #punk
