Let's look at your principles too. It's clear that you don't value your own choices at all. Instead, you look to things outside your control. For example: What will this person say? What will people think of you? Will they see you as educated? Have you read Chrysippus or Antipater? If you've also read Archedamus, you think you have everything you need. Why are you still worried that you won't show us who you are? Want me to tell you what kind of person you've already shown us? You've shown yourself to be petty, whining, angry, cowardly, criticizing everything, blaming everyone, never calm, and full of yourself. That's what you've shown us.
Let us look at your principles also. For is it not plain that you value not at all your own will ([Greek: proairesis]), but you look externally to things which are independent of your will? For instance, what will a certain person say? and what will people think of you? Will you be considered a man of learning; have you read Chrysippus or Antipater? for if you have read Archedamus also, you have every thing (that you can desire). Why you are still uneasy lest you should not show us who you are? Would you let me tell you what manner of man you have shown us that you are? You have exhibited yourself to us as a mean fellow, querulous, passionate, cowardly, finding fault with everything, blaming everybody, never quiet, vain: this is what you have exhibited to us.
