Figured would toss these on here as I’m both lazy and a disaster, but here you go (these are ancient history fwiw, when I was 9). Shouldn’t have any triggering/sad shit (didn’t screenshot, basically) but may as well share 9 year old me’s glorious basedness:
fascinating that the metric for egocentrism is not caring when someone else speaks about themselves.
True lol… while admittedly I know as a matter of fact that I am absolutely egocentric (but not selfish generally about it if that makes sense), it certainly sounds and probably was a certain way for them to assess me like that.
Kid me used to go around talking about how “pride wasn’t a sin,” etc. though, or rather I have always had- either an ego or the ambition to meet those levels of ego (and faking it till I make it sorta nonsense). Back at this age, not sure if I was doing the “pride wasn’t a sin” bit yet (I think so?) but I was definitely claiming I “inherited my parents’ anger/pride” and doing highly interesting things like hissing at people at that age (the hissing ended sometime soon after I feel? Hell if I know. More self-awareness developed over time)
Pretty much, was incredible energy levels and at least some glimpse of future based potential even back then maybe (arguably, highly debatably) particularly for some elementary schooler
