Don't fret.  The Irrational One has already told us he likes the fact that he's a dipshit.
I suppose he thinks it's part of his charm.

If I had to pick a favorite Neil song it would be either Cowgirl in the Sand or Laughter in the Rain.

Oh no, charm was never in my DNA. I was always picked last in sand pick up games of football, basketball and baseball. And I was always late on the uptake in insults. I would think of one 5 million hours after someone picked on me.

Brian, dude, that level of self-aggrandized self-pity is incredibly unhealthy.

You can't use feeling sorry for yourself at anything productive. You can't use it for anything other than miring yourself in negative thoughts and be trapped in thinking it's justified.

Do something productive and that which you find meaningful, for starters. Preferable something tangible that you can point to, in literal physical terms, could be anything, e.g. writing something down that has personal value or making a cup of coffee with beans you ground up yourself. Anything tangible, as long as it means something to you. [/armchair psychology]

When I’m feeling down, I usually build a piece of furniture. Always helps.
