It’s for them: The dependency of self-definition as reflected by others… succinctly phrased by character Jeff in the “Community” pilot episode:
Troy: Let me ask you something. People have been calling on me about this jacket since I got here, but if I take it off to make them happy, that just makes me weak, right?
Jeff: Listen, it doesn’t matter. You lose the jacket to please them; you keep it to piss them off. Either way, it’s for them. That’s what’s weak.
