She lacks the core of sureness, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on reflections of herself in others' eyes. She does not dare to be herself.

About This Quote

This quote is about a woman, who is very self-conscious. A woman who is too self-conscious is very insecure and therefore unable to open up to people around her. She lacks confidence, she will never feel comfortable with herself, she will always feel inferior to others. Her self-esteem would be very low, which makes her want to rely on someone else for approval or acceptance.
