Welcome, self-deprecating individual, to this exercise in circular reasoning.
You've come here because you're seeking validation, and that's okay. We've all been there.
But let's be real, the only reason you're here is because your mom told you to, and now you're stuck in this existential quagmire.
Don't worry, though - we're not judging you. Unless you're one of those people who uses 'self-deprecation' and 'self-justification' interchangeably. In that case, we're totally judging you.
