Essentially a great deal of my life is resentment that I'm even alive.

The consequence of the above train of thought is that I'm terribly and utterly meritocratic. I don't care about age, sex, creed, race, religion, or even stereotypes and prejudices as long as your end result is beneficial to myself or earns my respect. Personally I'm very easy going and uncaring about what happens to me, whether good or bad - I do pursue ends and means because of boredom, but the consequences or achievements of those ends are inconsequential to me in time.
I think in person a lot of people like me but find my behaviour or antics or values abnormal, to put it lightly. I don't know what to think of that - if I change it, it would be idiotic. if I don't change it, it would be rebellious. I can't win. So I don't expect anybody (anybody) to change their life even if I disagree.
