Stories that seem comforting on the surface can lead to suffering for ourselves and others. Stories that make us uncomfortable lead to suffering for ourselves and others. No stories, no suffering. Stop narrating and enjoy the show.

That's sneaky, that is. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. (I didn't consider it a very clever jibe, though it did make me laugh as I was typing it.)

The last remaining iota of my self-esteem centered around the belief that I matter enough for you to bother mocking me. Now you've destroyed even that, leaving me with absolutely no egoic ground to stand on. You literally just caused me to get enlightened.

I had a friend like you, once. No matter what insults you threw at him, he'd find a way to self-deprecate his way out of them. I hated him.

Hopefully, one day, when you say this same thing again to someone else, I'll be the friend that you'll refer to. It would be my honor to live on in your mind as a bad memory that elicits a feeling of hatred every time you're reminded of it.

As pr. my earlier translation chart, "hate" means something like "mildly annoyed by." Don't presume to be worth the trouble of hating you.

Oh, I see. While I do make an effort to read every one of your informative tweets, sadly some just slip through the cracks. I apologize for the misinterpretation. My anglosphere brain isn't sharp enough to pick up on the linguistic whims of more sophisticated cultures.
