> you're definitely an egoist
If you aren't just salty with ressentiment (not a typo), you probably think in calling out the reason for this thread I was attempting to pull an "I'm not like other girls". Not at all. Anyone who'd enter this thread is either proud or wants to reinforce their self-loathing (or both), so...necessarily, you're at least a bit right.

I don't think I harbor an unrealistic view of myself. I know the difference between being one in a thousand or so and being one in one billion. On a global scale, all of my talents are fungible commodities that are unearned and not worth taking pride in (though I feel a bit differently about concrete achievements that benefit others). The effects of my death would be localized and short-lived. I know that Norman Borlaug is an objectively far better human being than me. I'm really not into believing I should be worshiped because I'm talented in some way.

I also have volunteered in various ways and donate to charity despite not currently making much money, so while I'm not an exemplary humanitarian, I do care about others' well-being as ends in themselves.

> and a young one.
I'm in my early twenties.

>you'll find your verbal acuity useful when describing your suffering to yourself in the future.
This has already happened and continues to happen. I prefer writing fiction and bitching with friends to keeping a journal though.
