    Imagine being that old and still desperately looking for confirmation in literally everything you do. This man has failed his entire life to build up any kind of real self-sustaining self confidence.

    He is a black hole of confirmation. No matter how much he seeks it and gobbles it up, at the core what remains is this gaping soul-crushing nothingness.

      It’s because he has world-class Imposter Syndrome, and while most people struggle to overcome it, he knows it is absolutely deserved. Nobody knows how virtuosically stupid and ignorant he is more than he does. He is reminded of his own ignorance every time he has to make up a lie to cover something else he doesn’t know.

      He is desperately trying to keep the entire world from seeing that he is a profoundly broken human being, and is simply responding to his own Psychopathic whims and obsessions.
