A: Friends may come and go, however you are stuck with you forever. So you might as well get along with yourself. And that's why it really doesn't matter how important your friends consider you, instead what's more important is how important you consider your self? Important enough to be concerned about this? Important enough to ask this question?

The more you value yourself, the more others will value you. The other thing to remember is that probably all your friends are thinking the same way about themselves. Remember everyone's main focus is their own self. So repeat Richard Carlson's mantra to yourself: "Don't sweat the small stuff; and it's all small stuff."
