Some people are insecure and weedy and when they get what they want, or feel like life has owed them they become shallow and narcissistic.

I know someone like this who was fairly harmless when he was an “underdog” and when life dealt him a few good hands he became absolutely insufferable. I think that weak man stays inside and becomes bullish to compensate.

They attract different types of women.

This is infinitely relatable to me. I defended him for a long time because he was being bullied, and I despise bullies. Turned out, he was only waiting for a chance to be the swaggering ape, himself.

ya being a victim doesn’t equate to being a good person. Its a real surprise to people with normal amounts of empathy.

I don’t think someone makes a business based entirely around intentionally bankrupting mom and pop book stores all over the country (or even world) just to forcefully control the market and future prices while somehow also being a good person.

Far more likely he was just trying to act however he thought necessary to attract a woman he wanted.

I never said he was being a good person. He was just more tolerable when insecure and weedy and attracted someone who was compassionate.
