    My character is 17 (actually 23 due to dimesional fuckery), has published a math textbook, and is trying really hard to not murder people anymore. He’s also firmly on the blue and orange morality spectrum, loves teaching literally anything at any time, and is disgusted by the concept of the afterlife. Fun guy. Wonder what a therapist would make of him

      You are immature for your age and try to now grow up. You think you are smarter than most people, which you are, but not by as much as you think. For that reason you struggle with impostor syndrome and hold yourself back from achieving the career you actually want. But still you manage to come off as condescending to people around you.

      Please don’t take this seriously.

        Everything is correct except the last line, but only because I have poured a tremendous amount of effort into it (and I still slip up sometimes). Making the person I’m talking to not feel judged or condescended to is actually my most well-developed skill, very important for the education field.

          That’s awesome and really shows we can learn skills which dont align with our natural tendencies.

          Also I find it hilarious and a bit scary how accurate this was then.
