I would never let somebody say that they're me. That would be the ultimate betrayal of what I stand for.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The worst thing would be for them to find out who I really am, because that's where I hide.
I don't know what else I would be if I wasn't me. I am not looking from the outside, looking back. I am who I am.
I'm not hiding who I am anymore - not pretending I'm something I'm not.
I feel like you have to tell people who you are, but you don't have to be disrespectful about it. But you also don't have to be a shrinking violet.
I wanted to be left alone to live my life, so it was very easy for people to pretend that they were me.
There's nothing that anyone could say about me that would hurt my feelings.
I'd reached a point where there was a direct conflict between what I was trying to be and who I really was.
It would be an egregious mistake to ever refer to me in the same breath as most of the people I write about.
There's no reason to change what you are, but if you're not being you, then you need to acknowledge that.
I really don't care if people know who I am or what's said about me.
