I get this when I zap. What is it?

If you dress sharp, they’ll laugh and say you’re showing off. If you dress plain, they’ll whisper that you’re broke. If you speak your mind, they’ll call you arrogant. If you stay quiet, they’ll call you weak. If you succeed, they’ll say you got lucky. If you fail, they’ll say you didn’t try hard enough. Work too hard, they’ll warn you to slow down. Rest, they’ll say you lost your drive. If you love openly, they’ll call you naive. If you protect your heart, they’ll say you’re cold. Stand firm, you’re stubborn. Bend a little, you’re weak. The truth is no matter what you do, people will judge. They don’t see your struggles, your late nights. Your sacrifices. They only see what fits their story. One day you’re too much. The next, you’re not enough. If you keep chasing their approval, you’ll never find peace. So stop running after applause. Stop living in the noise of their voices. Focus on your path, your peace, your growth. Because in the end, their opinions won’t build your future, your actions will.
