"Why do people love us? We are always trying to figure that out, but only by using our own point of view. That way is so limited. Sometimes they love us for things we don’t even know about ourselves. For example they love our hands. My *hands*? Why would anyone love my hands? But they do and they’ve got their reasons why. You must accept that and realize the person they know and love is different from the one you know."
