why are so many people fake. its so obvious they put on a fake version to make themselves more appealing. my favourite type of person is those who can riff in the most unhinged conversation without breaking a sweat. these conversations become a shit test. Fake people are caught off guard and don’t know how adapt their constructed personality to an unpredictable conversation.

Shaving off the pieces... 'We do have this tendency to talk about what we believe in, in a way that gauges what bothers other people and then shaving off that piece. And eventually their is nothing left.' credit Voddie Baucham from probably his last interview:
I was 38 when i realized most people are animals that only appear human by accident of them being an aggregation of the majority opinions around them. They don’t encounter stuff and think: what do i think about this based on what i know and what i think is true. They think: what is the correct opinion because I’m too weak to defend myself. I blame all the micro plastics in their balls. And actually about 50 other things from government school to the world being nerfed.
Guess I'm not reaI. I don't go out of my way to offend people, I ask myself, "to what end?" and maintain an acute awareness that I may be wrong, and certainly don't have all the information. That said, I do lean into friction but interaction should be voluntary and part of that is having a rule set, dropping f bombs don't actually hurt anyone, but I'm not going to do it around your nearly 90 year old grandparent. I urge you all to think of the person who states "I'm just being me" when they are acting like an asshole. We all adjust to the social norms of our situation: with the exception of autistic narcissist-leaning assholes and individuals with borderline personality disorder.
