Hello, I've decided to steal Carly's idea for this thread as it is quite wonderful and I want to also distract both myself and others from the work they have to do!
Post here and choose from a large list of whatever you desire: psychological evaluations, things I like about you, things that I may dislike, songs that remind me of you, honest opinion pieces about you, people I ship you with or pretty much anything under the sun. I won't deny a request unless it is impossible, extremely difficult or private.

well that was closer to 5% accurate but i can't complain about that since i asked
my ego as compared to two years ago is in the garbage, every mean/condescending post i make is for fun and i make it clear that is my only motivation, meanspirited as it is
i will complain because i said i take it back and that i didn't want anything though
I think that you've been "struggling" with the fact that you're an intelligent person for a majority of your life. You are aware that statistically speaking, you're considerably more intelligent than a majority of the people in the place that you live but you're also aware that pointing out the fact would make you come off as egotistical. You suffer from an ego problem - that is, you try incredibly hard to not become self centered and get an inflated ego but it's difficult for you. This post is a perfect example of this. I've noticed lately that you have a tendency to make some fairly tonally condescending posts, posts I wouldn't have expected you to make a year ago. I've also noticed that your caring and moral side is still in tact. You're definitely struggling with becoming too secure in yourself, which is a good thing to be self aware about since many people have the exact opposite problem: hating themselves to the point where they struggle with seeing themselves as acceptable.
Don't rely on other people to bring your ego down a few notches, but keep focusing on the things that are actually true. You're smart, but people don't generally appreciate smart, condescending people. However, intelligence and actual kindness goes quite a long way.
You used to suffer greatly from a strong sense of entitlement that made you come off as childish sometimes. Now, you simply come off as bitter and frustrated. Contrast yourself with how you were a few years ago when you first joined as "Strider". You were pretty snarky then, but there was also a certain amount of silliness to your comments too. You used to actually be a friend, but I would be genuinely shocked to hear a kind word about me or any other user that you're not in love with come from your mouth. I feel as though a sense of superiority and elitism has turned into contempt for literally everyone on the website apart from a very, very specific few.
You come off as pretty rude, but you've gone from "rudeness with a joking, tongue in cheek vibe" to "rudeness at those you think are ruining the site because you care about it" to "rudeness in every general direction, but with a weird, perverted sense of still calling other people out for being rude".
I remember back in 2012(ish?) when you had gotten banned for the millionth time after promising that you were a different, changed person and that you would be good. I'm sure that at the time, I scoffed to myself and remarked that you were incapable of actually becoming someone without self destructive/rule breaking behavior.
When I heard you had gotten unbanned again, I was skeptical because you had already been given many chances and I naturally expected that you would be gone in two weeks tops. Remarkably, you not only appear to have ridden yourself of your previous tendencies but you come off as genuinely friendly now. It's clear to me that you still suffer from some anger issues and insecurity for numerous reasons, but you're actually slowly becoming a positive influence on the site - something I would be hardpressed to admit could happen a few years ago.
I hope that life goes well for you, because I don't think you're a bad person at all, and you're a living example that change is possible.
