because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

I should not mind a bit.
but if a friend of mine had a sorrow
and refused to allow me to share it,

so that I might share in what I was entitled to share.
If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him,
I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.

in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.
