    I think you reach a point where you no longer have to prove anything to anyone. If you no longer need an audience, then why hang out with them?

    Look at the people who surround themselves with an entourage, how insecure are they?

      Oof, I hope you don’t really believe that. Aside from “attention” that you get with friends, you should also get compassion, empathy, and love. And sometimes it’s just nice to have companionship.
