>>40820064One of my closest friends was like this, actually. A cocky piece of shit who'd talk down everyone, he was insufferable and made you want to punch the hell out of him, but because of reasons he plus my close group of friends were kinda stuck together against our will, and he actually started to soften up and open to us, and nowadays he's, funnily enough, my best friend and a total bro I can trust with my life.
Funny how life experiences and random chance events can change so much.
