the most entitled, manipulative people always spend the most time crediting their bootstrap theory of dogged determination and positive thinking to whatever situation they happen to be in.
and then get so angry when anyone taints their luck with negative thoughts and feelings.
"don't infect me with your buzzkill," they say. "i can't afford to allow that energy around me to pollute the magical thinking and sheer magnificent will that makes good things somehow just materialize, for reasons that have nothing to do with my sense of personal entitlement!"
no, you cunt. everything you have is something you got from the goodwill of others, same as the rest of us.
and nobody else fucking wants what you have. get over yourself. least of all your ungracious attitude about the people who give you everything and receive only scorn.
you are only here today because of the people who loved you, cared about your well-being in a way that you will never learn to love or care for another. people who sacrificed without asking anything in return because they didn't want to see you hurt.
you are no self-made genius.
