To answer these questions fairly I would have to say that sometimes yes and sometimes no.
There are some who can realize who I really am and stay by my side, in good times and bad, and there are others with selective memory who only "pretend" during the time when my skills or knowledge can be of some use to them, but after they get what they need they forget who I am.
But honestly, I don't give a shit anymore haha. With me there are the people who know who I am and value me for it, I don't care about the rest!
That's right babe! and I think your are taking the proper attitude. :)
In my opinion it's healthier don't give a shit anymore... well, unless... that everyone be willing to take with them an equipment of tomographies, another of magnetic resonances and, just in case, one of electrocardiograms every time they approach to us to be able to know us better. Hahahaha
HAHAHA just like that
