People are difficult. I doubt any of you can protest that.

I really don't.

How is it not a complex?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

How is it a complex in any way at all?

[pandorabox]

Because you have this dumb obsession with being perfect even though you aren't and never will be! That's a complex!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's not an obsession. And you are really the last person I would expect to be able to correctly judge my perfection.

[pandorabox]

I am an amazing judge of character, Azu-baka.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Do you really think that?

[pandorabox]

I do.

I work very hard to maintain my perfection. Surely you and your amazing judgement have noticed that.

[pandorabox]

You're not perfect. You're delusional.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

If I'm not perfect, then why do I appear to be?

[pandorabox]

You don't appear to be perfect at all.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Then you must have a skewed idea of perfection. Either that, or you just haven't been paying much attention.

[pandorabox]

You're just blind to your own obvious imperfections.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Name any of these "imperfections", and I'll counter them.

[pandorabox]

Lack of compassion for others, a skewed view of what a ruler shoulder be, the tendency to throw a fit when things don't go your way, and your nose is too big for your face

The first is a strength, the second is untrue, the third is an exaggeration, and the last is also untrue.

[pandorabox]

The first is not a strength, it's a flaw. The second is very very true, tyrannies and monarchies never last long. The third is not an exaggeration. And the fourth is also true.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You are extremely stubborn.

[pandorabox]

Aoko calls me obstinate all the time.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't think that is a compliment.

[pandorabox]

It was a very nice compliment, thank you Azu-baka!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Persistent would have been a compliment. "Stubborn", however, is an insult. It's like the difference between confidence and arrogance. Persistence indicates that you are unmovable about something worthwhile; stubbornness just means that you're cowpig-headed for no particular reason.
