Or do you remember how as a kid, other kids literally dragged you back on races so they can get in front of you while you may fall and finish last? Yeah, it could be that too.

It’s so tempting to add a ‘you’ to the end of it.

This is kind of a BS mentality as it’s borderline saying to surround yoursef with people who only support you. While you may feel validated, that can be dangerous and can make people lose the grip on reality. You need to be confronted, you need your opinion matched against others, that’s how progress works.

Well... good luck my friend.
