The correct, well-adjusted individual’s response to such would be comfort and confidence in one’s own accomplishments; I’m not a correct, well-adjusted individual.

Melodrama, much. I suppose this is why I get reporters assuming I’m an emo neurotic shit-head. No offence to emo neurotic shit-heads, some of the people I love are emo neurotic shit-heads.
‘Tis okay; there’s always time for soul-ness later.
