Nah, I don't get affected, I just worry about people sometimes, anger is a hell of a drug. Rest easy, brother.

No projection, just making it absolutely clear that all the shade thrown isn't adding anything, you just look hurt when you do it, especially when it clearly didn't come from a place of throwing friendly barbs, it is very much the essence of the tough front, it's just not adding anything.

See? Al Always with the tough front even when I'm being nice to you, it's not a sign of healthy behaviour. Brother, listen to me, really listen to me. You're going to heal. You'll get better. You will find your place in life. Everyone gets lost sometimes, you just need to find yourself. No one is impressed by acting tough, everyone knows it's just a hurt person hurting people.

I can tell that what I said got under your skin, so I apologise, I was just barbing with you, and I know you probably won't to keep up the tough front, but I forgive you. Keep yourself healthy.

You're going to be fine, seriously. Things can seem bleak, and you think everyone is after you, but I'm just being nice to you. I know that's probably rare in this day and age, but I'm wishing you well, I hope you heal. Be at peace, brother.

I can tell you have issues that you're working through, but I just want you to know that you're going to be okay. For real, say something nice to your parents, man, it'll do you all a world of good. I know it can feel like isolating yourself from the world is the best plan, but it's really not, connect with friends and family and find some joy in your life, I believe in you.
