I think you misunderstood. I simply meant that tara (and certain others, usually of the feminine variety) often receive positive replies and reassurance even upon admitting something that's not exactly nice.
It's kinda the opposite of me, as I've been known to get negative thumbs even if I comment something 100% positive, helpful, etc.
But if you want to think of me as an asshole, at least you'll be in good company.

You're also an extra in the background of a million other stories. And that's okay--the world doesn't revolve around any of us.
This is great. I'm a supporting person in someones life because he needed the motivation, and I am giving that. He says I'm such a nice person for helping someone I don't even know.

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
