Of all the memes done to death by boring manchildren like this, I think only Pepe has gone through a longer and worse dragging through the chud mud. Feels bad, man. kermit-pain

    Yeah, was uncomfortable in my skin and anxious most of the time and kept my hands in my pockets cuz I didn’t know what else to do with them. Always hoped others didn’t notice too much and you’re shattering the illusion I sustained for at least a decade…

      That in itself is not bad, it is that in conjunction with bullying others to sustain the facade to yourself that you are cool that is bad. Everyone does it to some extent but people like Elon never grew out of it or did any self-searching to diffuse their need for self-consciously seeking strangers’ approval.
