自分の返信したメールを冷静に見てみると、自分のことばっかりだ。相手が与えてくれた食いつきどころもそれを出しにして結局自分のことだ。これではいかんな。もう少し気をつけよう。の英語

You say that you're afraid of being disliked by other people, but you have some people that you dislike yourself, don't you? Arithmetically speaking, there are an equal number of people who you don't like that don't like you back.
