Are you trying to insult me by complimenting my parents love? Do you even Reddit bro? And yes, I was and still am loved. Is that not normal to you from your own experiences? Or were you loved too just like me and you're just saying we are different but the same? I accept you for who you ARE not what I may be predisposed to assuming about you by your comment (in other words placing your sense of self above my own perceived notion of who you're supposed to be). I know there is more to you as a person than one comment calling me a smart ass. I don't even consider it an insult or disparaging in any way. My view on that is nowhere close to original, but true all the same; I'd rather be a smart ass than a dumb one any day. Have an upvote my friend!
