You're assuming that everyone are assholes, and that nice people just put filters on. Not true. And you should probably go see someone about that. Such a world view doesn't come out of nothing.

Lots of people are really nice without any nicety filters.

I think you're wrong, and you should go in therapy because I'm obviously right.

I am in therapy, so that's already covered. Any other ways in which you wanted to be funny?

Thats the difference between knowing and being.

Those that learn how to be good by books, that are not actually good, try to sugarcoat and wonder why being good doesn't work for them.

For it to be effective, it has to be genuine.

This is a symptom of psychopathy. A double edged sword in terms of societal value. While I find the argument in favor of psychological diversity compelling, I can't can't help but be revolted by psychopaths.
