The fact that you’re aware of it means you’ve got a pretty healthy advantage. I’m guessing your wife loves you, your kid(s?) adore you, and you’ve got healthy friendships?

I’ve encountered a handful of pretty insidious, abusive bullies on here that hide their worst instincts in public really well 99% of the time, but you confront them on the wrong thing or get them in private and their true, gross selves come to the surface. And then it’s no surprise when you learn they’re forever single, or divorced, or have trouble making friends.

If I’m deciding who is more “evil” between the abrasive guy who says whatever even if it’s offensive but you always know where you stand and he treats the people he loves like gold, vs the outwardly friendly guy who would almost never say a bad word in public but talks behind your back and goes home and beats his wife, it’s going to be the latter.
