>>99962455>I'm shit but at least I know I'm shit which makes me kind of the shitKek, interesting rationalization. Mine is that a "bruised" ego becomes "swollen" and "inflamed". And so you shit on yourself before anyone else can in hopes of avoiding further trauma because the metaphorical damaged organ is sensitive.
As for whether it works or not, or if you secretly think you're better than others or not, that's a whole other story.
