But what if I validate myself through being really great at something, and draw self esteem from pointing out to other people how I'm better than them???? So I study and research ways to do things the right way and, over time, begin to believe that anything less than what I believe is technically kind of cruel?? Kind of like how these kitchen counters are FILTHY AS FUCK and if you don't go over them with a fresh new store bought sponge (counter clockwise scrubbing every time) and the right version of 409, you're infecting your house and everyone you love and its NOT FUCKING CLEAN GOD DAMNIT ITS NOT FUCKING CLEAN. So I think to myself, if I love my dog, then my dog should have standards. You have standards, don't you? If you eat filet mignon then doesn't your four legged baby deserve just as much? Would you shit in a box? NO, which is why when it comes to cats the only acceptable answer is this custom litter box I sell on etsy for 125.99 and don't you tell me that I'm off base because I NEED THIS GOD DAMNIT.
Or they're just yet another American asshole who thinks they have the right to shame random strangers for not doing everything their way.
@Cupcake don't let these birches sorority bully you. Just be like "I have another arrangement. Have a nice day." and bail. You owe them nothing.
