I guess a part of me has always strived [i]not[/i] to be a hypocrite. People very frequently refer to me as "preachy" and "self-righteous", but I sort of pride myself on the detail that I always [i]practice[/i] what I preach; I'm my own biggest critic and I never place expectations on other people if I don't believe I can meet them myself. If I tell people they can overcome something then it's because I adamantly believe I can overcome it, for example.

You're making sense to me. I'm just a very conflicted person by nature because I have the ability to see every side of the story; even the ones I'm in heavy opposition to or don't agree with at all. The discussion I had with someone before coming to the hang-out thread doesn't actually reflect that too significantly; I was already in one of my moods before the talk began.

Another issue persistently bothering me involves this site; I'm not giving names, but while quite a few people have made me not regret joining this place (yourself included) there are also quite a few who make me not want to be here. I'm sure everyone has that problem; I'm not ignorant enough to believe I'm unique in that sense. Where I [i]am[/i] perhaps a little more unique is that my personal dignity would very quickly cause me to leave this place for good if I felt disrespected.
