I hate how I don't feel real enough unless people are watching.

Chuck Palahniuk
About This Quote

I hate how I don't feel real enough unless people are watching. It can be scary. It’s true. When we’re alone, we don’t feel like we’re “enough,” but when we’re with others, we forget about the fact that we’re not perfect and that our flaws are visible to others. We stop focusing on ourselves and start paying attention to others, which makes us feel a little less alone and a little more real.
