im pretty sure i am a nice guy, most of the time at least.

anyway im going to try the fake confidence thing - i have a feeling its going to work.

my parents say im self centered because for years i have had almost no consideration for other people. i.e. my mother would recieve a box of chocolates for christmas, and i would eat every one before she even touched them. theres no way i would do something like that now however, which means i may be improving. and also im generally kind of unempathetic to people, but im just saying this, im not really totally sure. and is it even possible for narcissism to be evident over message boards, haha? how would you be able to tell if i WAS narcissisic?

anyway thankyou for the post - its brightened me up a bit. i hope your right about everything, but i honestly feel like i shouldn't take one persons opinion with such weight. i feel like now im just going to use your post to disillusion myself into thinking i actually dont have a problem when i do. god, i dont know. i dont know why i worry about this kind of thing, i should just try to play the cards ive been delt. cause this stuff is like hard-wired into your brain. anyway im going to put out a conscious effort to be more considerate, less selfish, and just be the best person (socially) that i can. if i do this and things still dont work out, well then im just screwed i guess. i think i might be a mental hypochondriac.
