I will admit that it's very difficult to avoid the subject entirely when you seem to spend so much energy on what I, and others, think of you. But I think that it's mainly just because it's a relationship. Admittedly, not a very good one, but it's something involving more than one person. And all that I can bring to it is myself, so I'm trying my best to use what I have.

No, I don't know you. Not the way that I need to. Or the way that I want to. But what I just told you is what I believe that I do know.
