I really, really, sincerely doubt it. The only people I’ve met who’ve said they’re those things are very much not those things. (Honestly, they’re usually awesome.) The people I’ve met who one could argue are those things? They don’t think they are, they think they’re hot shit and everyone else is the problem.

Also, I’ve seen you around for a while, and you just don’t seem like it! You seem cool, thoughtful, intelligent, and interesting to talk to. I genuinely mean it.

But, I totally get and understand the feeling. I do the same thing, unfortunately. Our brains tell ourselves some silly shit in order to try to cope with our fucked up situations, and it often starts in childhood. So it’s some poor little kid just doing their best to make sense of things in there, ya know? They deserve kindness.

I’d appreciate it if you’d do what you can to try to be more kind and understanding to my cool acquaintance Mac. Mac deserves that. :) <3

(Would you believe that this is the short version of what all I wanted to say to you? Ha! My genuine apologies to you if it’s obnoxious or unwanted!)
