Stephen ChboskyI just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with someone even if they could have. I need to know these people exist.
About This Quote
No matter how much we want to deny it, we all need the support of others. We need people who care about us and can listen to us and know what we are going through. The problem is that there are many people out there who only love themselves and who don't want to help others. They try to sleep with other people so they can feel good about themselves.
That's not what you should be looking for. You should be looking for someone who respects you and who will put you first so you can feel good about yourself.
