Whoever is his real life friend is a lucky fella.

I'm also comically uncomfortable with praise, so this is equal levels kind and a brilliant troll job.
I do happen to see the self-critic as a massive boss fight most of us don't realize we're fighting. If I trace any of my weaknesses back to the source, it's typically that I spent a few decades really not liking myself. If you can break that spell (I'm still working on it), you start to see it
everywhere.
Which is partly why this thread is a real red-button for me. A cruel parent (intentional or not) is tough as they set up the scaffolding and start your story for you. If the story they start is of you, the hapless idiot, it's cutting you off at the knee before you even can get going. Once you realize the story was just that, and orchestrated by an author that was hurting themselves, things can get mighty interesting.

Haha, what game was it? Here I was thinking our only interaction was when I saw a clearly able-bodied guy rolling up to Brewsters in a motorized scooter and I thought "surely it can't be.... but then how can it not?".
