[Creepy-Snaps]

You do not *truly* empower people because you fundamentally do not respect them. That's what its coming across like to others, it's this core empathy that you lack and any lack of empathy is always annoying no matter who it's coming from.

I choose who I respect. And no, I do not respect the average person who argues how others should do things for them, and doesn't take responsibility to improve your situation. I can't respect someone who isn't willing to work. So if you get that vibe from me, you're absolutely right.

People see your cheesy grin in that avatar and they want to troll you and light your skin on fire so you cry along with the rest of the human race.

You have issues.

If you really want to be this dude that helps people and gives real inspiration,

That's not what I want.

then I think you will listen to mine and Gilly's constructive criticism.

No. I think you give good advice, if I were truly trying to change your opinions here, or motivate you guys, but I am not.
