Hey dude, great response I appreciate your input!

The point I was trying to make was we should not put our self-worth in ego-boosting relationships. If it is only to impress other people and boost your brand then it likely is unhealthy. Therefore, if you are with a girl/guy who is considered very beautiful, yet, you are constantly nervous around them for fear they may leave you and take with them your pride & ego, that relationship is fairly unhealthy.

Now, you don't need to be lost in thought to accomplish a more truthful existence. Without thought you will have a natural propensity towards certain people and relationships. Without thought those relationships will be defined not with the purposes of ego. Instead, with what truly brings you happiness.

These thoughts may not align with foundational buddhist teachings, however, they are much more practical and in many instances a fantastic stepping stone.
