I saw a video about this today, and the quote was:
“I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.”

From my understanding, it means that however you believe others perceive you is what you become. So even if everyone actually thinks I’m a weirdo, if I think I’m cool, a byproduct of that would be me starting to actually be cool through having more confidence in yourself and certain habits changing through this belief?
