Likely yes, you do. But the difference between what they are, your goal to make them grow to and what you can actually achieve are vastly different. A shame. People with true potential are so rare. I would so love to see you find your own strength.

You think they're so different, but they're not. I know myself far better than you do.

That's a distinct possibility, but then, it's also perfectly probable that I've been completely correct about everything I've said. I've never even see you fight or perform something you would say fits under your specialties, so I am merely extrapolating what I can from your personality. And for all I know, your mannerisms are in fact very good fakes and you've actually achieved a personal strength. Maybe your personal strength is giving people the impression you've not found one.

What an interesting idea.

A mannerism is a characteristic and often unconscious mode or peculiarity of action. You possess all the classical mannerisms of a person who believes they are a self crafted person who stands at the height of the world, but in actual fact has been crafted by someone else. A preoccupation with generic strength over personal strength, a search to eliminate all flaws, your particular attempts to control the flow of conversation. I would hazard a guess that at least one of your parents is deeply involved in your daily life.

I know what a mannerism is. All you've done is extrapolate, and come to the wrong conclusions because of it.

It could have been a term you don't have in your world. I decided to play it safe.
Naturally you would believe my conclusions to be wrong. That is one of your mannerisms as well-a certainity of self.

Of course it is, but not to a fault.

Surely you are aware that a person with a deluded certainity of self would say exactly that.

That doesn't mean that everyone who says it is deluded.

True, but it does mean your position is particularly difficult to defend.

No, it means you're deliberately trying to make a point that is technically impossible to disprove so that you can tell yourself that you've won.

It's quite easy to disprove, actually. It's just beyond the scope of your type of person to realise what it is.

I'm sure you think silence is the same as implying you don't need to respond.

It doesn't.

My facial expression was my response, actually.

A response would make a point. You simply had nothing to say.

I felt that it made my point very well, actually.
