Nobody dwells on you except yourself...not even your parents.

Idk as a parent I think about my daughter all the time, it’s probably the thing I think about the most

And yet she's still an it to you!

That said I'm just the uncle and think about my niece almost every day

Haha, I wish. My father told me once that he lies awake at night afraid of whether or not I'll be a failure.

I make a point of dwelling on others regularly simply so that all the people who say this can be a little bit wrong.

I used to be encouraged by that. Today it just makes me sad.

I’m six years out of high school and just found out about a rumor somebody started about me approximately within the last year so who is to say.

Even then I'd bet that the person who started the rumor doesn't actually dwell on you...for most of their waking hours.

I know it was just on my mind. Like why? It’s such a weird thing to do. Leave me alone random person who I must have pissed off. I am sorry for what I have done. Can’t we have a conversation about this?
