I could make fun of myself but maybe it's to hide how big my ego really is. I notice I got admirers for this , I'm guessing it shows good sense of humor?

in moderation, a slice of humble pie can be a good regulator.

we're all not THAT important; in the grand scheme of things - so; yeah ....?

In the grand scheme of things you COULD actually say we're all worthless.

i don't think we are worthless in our own little micro-cosmos; you give your own importance to it ....but we are passers by; and as an accumulated mass; we fucking suck.

Well then you could say we should all just pull ourselves apart and be important 😉 maybe narcissism is quite solicited!

Been good 🙂 Just lurking as usual, I like to reinforce that all aquas come and go, appear and disappear 😄 plus I love self deprecating threads!

Yeah, as long as it's in moderation and not of the "desperate for you to contradict them" kind of variety.

In a way, it shows that a person is comfortable in their own skin, honest, and willing to be less than perfect.
