[Opinions] Re: Oh, you're right. I just changed my mind. Calvin is great!
"I find it tremendously hard to believe you're 26."I actually don't have trouble believing that.Remember what I was like for a while? A self-righteous little bitch, sure I had everything figured out and was intellectually superior to everyone around me? I was a bit younger than him then (24 and 25 rather than 26) but not that far off.In my case, it was an act - an attempt to create a perfect online persona that would make up for my (what I saw as) my complete incompetence and uselessness in real life. An arrogant shell covering an interior completely devoid of self-esteem.I'm beginning to suspect that it's a stage some people go through in their mid-20s. I went through it right before I finally understood that there's no such thing as a finished adult, and that everyone keeps on growing and changing throughout their entire life. I'd been trying to show that I'd attained a complete, final level of understanding, and I've seen =A= make much the same claim about himself.I think it's just another bump in the road to self-awareness.*hands over 2 cents and steps away from the soapbox*
