They are usually A-holes IRL, too.

(I have my moments.)

I've been actively avoiding then IRL for 20+ years. Much more difficult to avoid them on social media, unfortunately.

Your ignorance is showing. I suggest you do more reading and educate yourself before you jump in here acting like an expert. You're just embarrassing yourself.

I say this to myself every day here.

I say a variation of this to myself all too often.
- posts or replies in here (including this one)
- posts in all other forums and media site/apps
- IRL suggestions or advice
- to & with my kids
- to & with my Better-half
- on “tech support calls” especially after the reading of their script limitations makes me ask them questions & explain the history of multiple calls to them (specifically our DSL provider) when it starts to apparent that their skills are too limited and they have to tag in a “supervisor” & then the cycle repeats with said “supervisor.”

/takes a deep breath

(Pauses)

/end of line….. for now…

I think it's called "Imposter Syndrome." I too suffer from it. People ask me questions, I do my best to answer, then wonder, "What if I'm wrong?" , "I'm no expert!", etc.

Are you stupid, delusional, or both?

So many times I would love to say that.

I have heard that talked about a few times over the last several years but, wasn’t fully grasping its definition until the last year of chats with my therapist. Then it finally gelled.

Being in HR I regularly wish I could say "what the @#$% is wrong with you?!?"
