I have a very low opinion of myself. It just seems otherwise because you have an even lower one of yourselves than is actually healthy. Just my honest opinion...

If your posting history is anything to go by, you definitely think the world of yourself.  It's either that or you have such a low opinion of other people that your low opinion of yourself is still higher than your opinion of others.

To be fair, I do appreciate the effort you've put forth in changing, even if the old EP still slips out every once in a while.  Honestly, I think you can't help yourself sometimes and don't even realize how large your ego actually appears to be.  You may tell yourself that you have a low opinion of yourself, but the words you use and the assumptions you make of other people say otherwise.

I appreciate the implicit advices in here. Thank you for managing to be a bigger person than I am.

I feel kinda bad about derailing the thread, but not really because of the OP's past drama and all.

For a moment there, I had thought he could've taken my place and I could've taken a much anticipated vacation...

Nah, just kidding. I love the vibe of this place right now.

Naturally progressing conversational derails are fine. It's only when one person comes in and derails in a trolling way that it's against the rules.

No need to apologize. It's just that if that truly is your intention, you should think about trying to tailor your message accordingly, because just belittling people isn't going to make them less sensitive. It's going to make people less likely to take what you have to say seriously.

I've already almost gotten one person in trouble for getting them to admit they are not, so I'll just say this.

The fact that you had to ask "seriously" should give you all the information you need to reach a conclusion.

Sarcasm?

If not, you're welcome.
