You must be easy to be nice to, because nice isn't my default. I try to work on that.
It must be good for your mental health to feel that way about yourself, to be sure. I prefer realism, but it doesn't do my any favors in that department. As many issues as Hammy has to work out, I do doubt that wanting to be you is one of them, though. I see him admiring a musical, artistic, introspective type, in all honesty. He seems to value those qualities above an abundance of confidence and an outdoor lifestyle.
My view of myself is based on realism. All of those are true things about myself. My mental health is pretty good, it wasn't always that way though. In my early 20 I was an agoraphobia shut in with panic attacks and many social problems. I worked on improving myself as a person. Something Hammy doesn't seem to even try to do. Really I don't think he and I are that different, in the way our brains work, just that I work on improving myself, and have put a ton of work into figuring out social interactions. Where as he seems very overly sensitive to any criticism of himself or his views at all, which will always limit his self improvement.
I really think Hammy just got stuck on my thread on logical fallacies, and just can't let it go. His main social life is on the internet, so he takes it a lot more personally than all the other people (like youself) who also disagrees about that. He just can't seem to let it go. Apparently calling out peoples logical fallacies on a forum is emotionally important to him, in the ultimate irony. It's pretty funny actually.
I also think it irks him that I get laid all the time and have a lot going on in my life. Maybe he doesn't want to be me exactly, but I definitely get a weird jealous vibe from him.
