If I treat my needs and wants with respect…

If I treat my needs and wants with respect… That’s frightening, mother would have a heart attack, no one would like me me, I wouldn’t have any friends, I’d have self-respect, it would take courage, people would say I’m selfish, I wouldn’t care what people think, I’d be a human being with dignity.
