This person is angry at you. This is because you are being rude to them.

But this single conversation isn't representative of the entire rest of their life! Just because they are angry with you does not mean they are angry with everyone else! If you can't see that, it's because you are a narcissist.

You think what you are saying is what everyone is saying? On the contrary! I'm a person, and I'm right here saying something else!

> You make your own world of explanations to feel like everything is ok.

We've just illustrated that is what you are doing right here. This is a pretty clear-cut case of projection.

Are you just too old to know any better? I don't buy that sentiment at all: if you can read, you can learn.

> Whether it be at me or at someone else, rationality does not follow.

Nah, I'm angry with you, as a rational reaction to your narcissism. You should do something about that.

You seem to think you're an emotionless robot. And I think I have found that the people who think they are emotionless rational robots, are the must subject to the whims of emotions.

Something to consider working on...

At minimum, a person should be capable of keeping their emotions separate when drafting text.

If you can’t, that’s something to work on.

I mean, I'm not taking advice on this from you. You have done nothing to convince me you're worth listening to.

lol, wasn't angry to begin with, but I definitely was angered by the dismissive response. Like if I'm giving them the time of day, it would be nice of them to at least pretend like they're gonna give it to me...
