    even though inferior men seem to have no problem doing so

    there’s his problem. thinking of others as inferior (and of yourself as “superior”) is egocentric.

      It’s a delicate balance. Swing too far in the other direction and you end up like me, believing you are inferior to everyone.

        You’re gonna yo-yo for another 6 years but every swing will be lower than the last, until you finally hit your mid-30s and adopt an “ah fuckit” approach to life.

          My yo-yo string just broke when my wife told me she wanted a divorce. The “ah fuckit” is already strong in me. And I’ll be 40 in 6 years.

            Ah. You got one of those fancy yoyo’s with disco lights and stuff. Mine just does walk the dog.

        At least you are not actually inferior to others. That’s for me, I am ultimately inferior for real.
