stop trying so hard

I’m sure there are only about 5 people in the world who get me. There are probably only about 4 who I actually like and want to spend time with. But I’m surrounded by people all day, and I have to be nice to them and be likeable, when in fact I can’t stand any of them. They’re all children, with petty problems and no thoughts for anyone but themselves. Where are all the people like me? I try to be funny, and the few people who know the real me, and understand me, they’d laugh, we’d have fun, but I consistently find myself trying so hard to be liked. But I don’t care what any of these people think, cos they’re awful themselves. I need to be myself and forget about what I sound like. Cos eventually I’ll find that group of people who will be friends for life. And it will have been worth the wait.
