Relationship With His Past Self

✅ A child who mistook cruelty for intelligence.
✅ A kid who thought he was right—and that’s the most terrifying part.

❌ Someone who sold out and “got soft.”
❌ A version of himself that wasted his potential.
What They Can’t Admit About Each Other:

- Modern Self doesn’t want to admit he still has that anger inside him.
- They are not separate people. They never were.
Background & Defining Moments
Early Life:
- Naturally intelligent but never challenged. Teachers praised him, parents called him a genius, classmates envied his effortless grades.
- Praised constantly but never meaningfully tested.
- Adopted a superiority complex—believed he was different, smarter, above it all.
The Collapse:
- First true failure? He took it personally.
- When he got called out, he doubled down.
- One particular mistake haunts him:
- An online forum post, brutal and ignorant.
- Mocking a group of people he didn’t understand.
- Irony? He later realized he belonged to that group himself.
- He was too self-righteous to apologize.
- But somewhere deep down, he knew.
What Happened After?
- Self-awareness set in. It didn’t humble him—it hollowed him out.
- Instead of growing, he just learned to hate himself.
- He convinced himself he had changed, but really, he had just buried his younger self under layers of sarcasm and guilt.

Key Coping Mechanisms:
