"My insecurity makes me sick,
Yet my confidence makes me thick"
Nie mogę nigdzie znaleźć takiego tłumaczenia tego wyrażenia, żeby pasowało do kontekstu, a bardzo chciałabym jak najlepiej zrozumieć wiersz, w którym się pojawia.

thick
odporny na krytykę
Kontekst mocno sugeruje, że chodzi o „thick” jak np. w wyrażeniu „thick-skinned”.
Discussion
I want to be a mystery, yet be known
I want to be together, yet alone
Is it too much to ask, To be famous yet unknown?
To be a wanderer, yet have a home?
My insecurity makes me sick,
Yet my confidence makes me thick
Can I be harmless, yet grip the stick?
Be completely smooth yet have a nick?
Can I live in a lie, yet be true?
Can I be unique, yet so like you?
Have no control, yet know what to do?
Can I be ugly, yet beautiful too?
Answer me, I need your help,
Can you help me or someone else?
I need your help, can’t you see, Are you even listening to me?
