Insults and all. The only way to get through this life is to play the " phoney game" that everybody plays.

Your posts, both on this thread, and on my other thread where I was talking about entrepreneurship (which your reply was outright insulting BTW but I won't get into that) remind me of an article I was reading written by this Indian American named Remit Satei who is this self made multimillionaire that makes some very interesting educational resources that I read whenever possible.
He was talking about how while being made aware of one's vulnerabilities and doing something is smart for one's improvement, going around talking about your vulnerabilities and emotions and making posts on blogs and social media shouldn't be done unless it is done in such a way that either helps you improve or makes it look like you're growing and improving as a person. He also claims that those who talk about feelings and vulnerabilities so frequently typically do so to avoid working on their own issues by getting their feelings validated by other people. In fact, it is apparently regarded as not only "socially acceptable" but actually "cool" to be emotionally vulnerable today. Pathetic.
I guess not everybody is destined for greatness. I will have less competition at least
