Very possibly, but I'm being completely honest with no ill intent when I say perhaps you're also misjudging yourself.

Again, perhaps my perception is wrong, but I find it very difficult to believe the person you describe yourself as would write the words you have written here.

I haven't even read your history so I fully acknowledge this is speculation. I'm just saying, I haven't met many people who can't think of several ways their thinking has changed over the years, on a constant basis. This is often referred to as wisdom or humility. But occasionally you meet the odd person who seems to have known it all their entire life. Hopefully you don't fall into the latter group.

Well I am sorry you are so unable to take my stated problem at face value. Given your admission that you really have no familiarity with my history, the logical and courteous thing to do would be to take me seriously and not project a lot of personal baggage from your past onto me.

I see no real reason to try to persuade or convince you. But perhaps you should think twice before lecturing a stranger on their assumed bad traits while behaving rather badly yourself overall.

Hi Mz,

I was thinking about this on the way home and I've come here to apologize for the way I spoke earlier. Even now as I reread your earlier comment, my mind is simply unable to process it in any other way than I did initially, but my response to you was nonconstructive in the extreme, not to mention rude, arrogant, etc. Especially ironic in this thread.

I could go on, but I hope you get the idea. My sincere apologies.
