@Gaolaitch@cupoftea.social I think I know the root of my irk. It’s the duality, I struggle with that. My brain fizzes when people present themselves (self-certified) as ‘good’ but show actions of ‘bad’.
I once met a person who said she believed she lit up a room when she walked in. It took all of my strength to not knee-jerk a rebuttal.
Honestly, the world would be so much more straightforward if the bad ones just said so out loud. No subterfuge, no pretending, and I’d respect them way more.

@SquirrelwithaninvisibleW@mastodon.social I spend waaaay too long wondering how my self-image relates to my image to others (and to the truth). So many pitfalls for the hard-of-confidence.
