The document describes a man named T.O. who stresses about what others think of him. At a lunch with new friends, he dodges questions and avoids talking about himself and his interests for fear of being judged as weird. He realizes he bases his self-worth too much on gaining approval from others. To overcome this stress, he needs to remember his true value does not depend on others' opinions. Writing down why he has value regardless of what people think could help him act with more courage to be himself.
