People need people

Why do we care so much about other people's opinions? We're each living our own unique life, so why should we let others dictate, or influence how our life plays out?
Are we scared of losing some people? As if they don't like something we do, we would just discard that something without second thoughts in order to keep that person? Are we scared of trying for the fear of rejection by someone we like or admire? Are we simply ok just always being on the outside looking in?
Sometimes people use people for their own gain, and times we are ok with it because we think "hey at least they are paying attention to me", so we just go along with it.
People shouldn't be able to make others feel inferior, yet we all have that ability if we choose to use it. Sometimes the people who seem the most befriended may in actuality feel like the most loneliest.
I honestly don't have any answers for these questions, except that were human, and it's our nature to want to be included, and feel wanted "people need people" "no man is an island" both true sayings. No one wants to be isolated.
But not trying to reach out can be just as bad, if it doesn't work (yes as much as I hate to admit it, it might) there are hundreds of other people who given the chance might enjoy what you have to offer. Plus you never know the fears you have may be nonexistent, and things go smoothly when you reach out.
Lastly on this subject just remember if you want to make friends with someone, then your gonna have to be a friend to someone.
