An opinion you’re seeking validation of? :)

No, I don’t need validation of my opinions, but depending on who it’s from, it’s nice to have when I recieve it. But, touché, nonetheless. 😉

Everybody thinks they’re so damn important, and they don’t matter at all.

On macro-scale, we/they don’t. I think what hits close to home is that too many people just aren’t fulfilled by only mattering to the people who really do care about them. Mattering to friends and family just ain’t enough to fill the hole inside, and their either unaware of it, they don’t care, or they’re ashamed of themselves and the guilt of their nihilistic consumption feeds their need to be congratulated for it.
