It's a competition that only exists in your own head. That doesn't make it less valid, though - it's normal to feel that way and to have those worries, especially having gone through everything you have.

But at the same time...

I can't think of a single person here who would act that way. Those who have real relationships back in their real worlds, and those who don't - they're both in the same boat here. They're both having experiences and forming bonds that they never would have been able to otherwise.

Not a single person here would have ever had Dolph Laserhawk in their life unless they found themselves here, and vice versa.

Whether you're someone's true love, or best friend, or guiding light... the way you fit into their life couldn't be filled by anyone but you. Thinking that what you bring to them is less valuable because of that "competition" is doing a disservice to them, and to yourself.

It's a difficult way of thinking to challenge, but I hope you can, just a little.
