Help[Opinions] Re: Oh, you're right. I just changed my mind. Calvin is great!

Why is it, that she 'respectfully disagreed', and you still have to act like an asshole? I find it tremendously hard to believe you're 26.

Always remember, I am talking about names, not the character of a specific person. I don't dance to your feeble tune, Missy.

"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.

I hope not!
Suddenly I'm scared of turning mid-20. I don't want to be nasty and have everyone not like me! :-/

One thing you may look forward to is not taking seriously the immature insults and emotions of teenagers. In fact, when your my age, you'd be wise not to associate with them at all unless they're family for a number of reasons, this correspondence being but one exemplified confirmation.

None of the other people in this thread are teenagers, genius. In fact the majority are older than you.

Oh, only some people go through it :-)
