I won’t argue with her premise of believing in yourself and not looking for outside validation. I spent way too much of my life living like that. The blind squirrel syndrome.

But when she says, “There are people who don’t even know you exist. They don’t even know your pain. They don’t know your struggle”, I say they don’t know of my existence, pain and struggle either but I don’t expect them to and don’t care.
And no one needs to be told to think of themselves as an “other”. That is not inspiring. It is passing the buck.
