little vent:
i really don't have it in me anymore to let folks who see most other people as NPCs or think they're the smartest person in the room try to get close to me. i can feel superiority complexes from a mile away. i've historically kind of placated this behavior, but it freaks me out, man.
getting closer to individuals who are warm and empathetic and don't try to position themselves as the center of everyone's universe has helped me realize that i don't have to put up with unsavory bullshit just because someone thinks i'm neat.
