Awesome people certainly recognize other awesome people.
Being a people-pleaser is the enemy of assertiveness.
Happiness comes both from within and from without. Without internal sources of happiness perpetual frustration and dissatisfaction is inevitable and without external sources of happiness perpetual boredom and emptiness is inevitable. Extracting both appreciation and pride from within one's self, identity and values and enjoyments and pleasures from outside one's self, identity and values -- from the external world -- is required to be at one's happiest.
