Bubble

They say that many times there is a difference between the way you see yourself and the way others see you...is this a malady that affects us all or are there people who overcome this? Why is it that the person we know the least is the person we are closest to - ourselves? Am I the only one who is living in the world of bloated self-importance? I increasingly get the feeling that I want to believe that I am important in so and so's life...and I keep looking for clues and signs...and I keep creating situations to increase that illusion...and the bubble keeps blowing till it bursts one day, leaving me feel absolutely small and insignificant...again and again...what am I doing?
