Last month I ordered a bunch of sim racing gear for myself as a treat and the bulk of it arrived - but one £300 part of it got held up at a depot for no clear reason and me and the seller have been collectively working together over the past fortnight to get the couriers to get their act together. Ultimately it's looking like they've lost the package for good and the seller will have to send a replacement, at a significant delay. But through the whole thing I've been extremely patient and cordial with the support agents, both of the seller and couriers, and it just... really reaffirms that despite everything that's not ideal in my life and upbringing and environment, I think I turned out okay. No, not despite, but -because- of those struggles I became someone who's reasonable and rational even in frustrating circumstances. And even as many normies see me as a threat or a defect, at least I can have some confidence that they are, truly, in the wrong.
