there's his problem. thinking of others as inferior (and of yourself as "superior") is egocentric.
It's a delicate balance. Swing too far in the other direction and you end up like me, believing you are inferior to everyone.
You're gonna yo-yo for another 6 years but every swing will be lower than the last, until you finally hit your mid-30s and adopt an "ah fuckit" approach to life.
My yo-yo string just broke when my wife told me she wanted a divorce. The "ah fuckit" is already strong in me. And I'll be 40 in 6 years.
Ah. You got one of those fancy yoyo's with disco lights and stuff. Mine just does walk the dog.
I suggest working on your emotional issues before committing to another relationship. They might be more complex than you imagine. You might think you are depressed, for example, when in reality this is a symptom of being neurodivergent. Accepting yourself for who you are, right now, is necessary, and that requires knowing yourself.
no that can't be, because you're definitely not inferior to me
Everyone is equally inferior.
At least you are not actually inferior to others. That's for me, I am ultimately inferior for real.
