The Concept of Confirmation

Yang terdaya dianjak dik tangan
boleh dikuit biar bangun
yang berangin
dicucuk sembarangan
tiada budi bakal dituntun
yang molek permandangan
yang penting tekun
Allah bilang Kun
Fa ya kun.
Within the self-pity mode of jealousy overflows the need for social approval. One's sense of self is easily denigrated when rejected, snubbed, dissed or whatever people call it these days. There is a strong dependence on getting rewards, getting rave reviews, being in the good books of some highflyers and/or the strong desire to be popularly known as that nice person. Which is pathetic for some, yet one cannot help but wish, hey, I'd so love to be remembered fondly,eh? Within the vanity mode of narcissism,however, there is inferiority complex. When one begins to make attempts to behave and/or perform according to other people's standards and fail to see their own unique talents, one has an existential problem.
The thing with people whose vocation or interests revolve around creative work, much of their sensitivity comes from a great deal of inferiority complex. Ok, hasty generalization, but true to a certain degree. A little bit of humility opens doors to the secrets of the world kan? The products of sensitive thinkers are usually mindboggling masterpieces. I read somewhere that people who often seek the approval of others have a history of a deprived childhood, while people with inferiority complex is affected by physical disabilites or a previous failed relationship. No matter how hard these artists try to portray rich b*tch elitist snob attributes, it is very telling how lonely it can get to swimming in one's own smelly spit.
No no no no...
Don't phunk with my heart
