When depressed, I'm a humorless asshole.
When not depressed, I'm a gleefully manic asshole.
Someone help me math this out. Want to at least have the option of being, you know, just kind of a jerk.

I've been meditating for 11 years or so. Mostly made me a whole lot less neurotic about my being an asshole. The assholishness itself remains.

What makes you think your an asshole? Do you kick puppies and drown kittens?

I am conceited and arrogant, and have very little to show for it.
No, I love animals. I sometimes yell at my dog, though, which is definitely not OK.

You didn’t correct my typo, so there’s some hope for you.
Arrogance is a two edged sword — too little and you have no self worth or self confidence. Too much, and yes, it can be unpleasant for others.
Perhaps consider the illusion of free will; I find it’s a good equaliser.

First off, linguistic QA is literally my job, so I don't exactly feel like doing it on my free time.
Second off, grammar Nazis deserve to be punched almost as much as real Nazis.
Third off, I'm mostly joking, but I do have trouble hiding my disdain for certain forms of stupid.

Though I'm not sure if that qualifies as arrogant or just not particularly virtuous.
I wouldn't say I treat normal people worse than they treat cognitively impaired people.

Don't mind me, I'm in the gleefully manic asshole phase. If you want to have a longer conversation, you may want to grab a salt shaker.
