It sounds like something my brother tends to tell me a lot, actually! Just worded a lot differently.

[...that could have been some sort of backhanded insult were it not so damn genuine; as it stands, it's just a little awkward because wow, what's tact.]

I know that people might not like or appreciate how I am already, though - I've never really cared much for their opinions, either. People can think whatever they want! It's just recently that I've begun thinking about it; this is more of a learning experience than anything.
