Isn't it tremendously exciting believing that you can see the pendulum's next reversal?
At some point in life I hope that you find yourself on the precipice of life and death.
Not as a threat or because I wish harm upon anyone.
It is only when you are faced with that choice for real that you decide whether you want to be that sad person that allows others to dictate their emotional state.
Nevertheless, you are right. And so I have burned my fingers plenty.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I learned at a young age that I am to be the universal asshole, and for a very long time I was not okay.
It took a substantial part of my life to get to a point where I am able to be okay with that.
As for others, they rarely understand why I am the way I am, and that too is okay.
We are all here to grow and eventually realise that we all need each other to survive, so we compromise, we adapt, and we ignore the ugly parts of others so they will tolerate the ugly parts of ourselves.
Bruh I have been in multiple life and death situations, I didn’t come out of them thinking I was amazing for not being considerate of others.

No you’re not required to be the “universal asshole”. That’s a choice you are making everytime you have the chance to be better and decide to go with the easy path of being a dick. You have the agency to do otherwise and you don’t get to absolve yourself of those choices.

I feel like a guru now, anyways I'm going to bed.
