Moral of the story? Don’t do what I do and constantly only think about yourself. It took me nearly the entire semester to get my head out of my ass and realize this guy was just trying to be my friend. Better late than never I suppose.
(One of the biggest flaws we have as Americans isn’t that we only think about ourselves, but that we constantly think the worse of others. Maybe a lesson is learned here, but we’re in bad shape as a country because we succumb to the people who play on our worst instincts. Like a certain orange meathead pussygrabber.)
