24. Lots of us have had lousy childhoods

That alone isn't enough to be insane. My mother, for instance, was by turns abusive, neglectful AND smothering and manipulative.

I turned out okay despite her, and with a normal-sized ego. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a hopeless moron about a bunch of stuff, and will cheerfully attribute it to sheer laziness on my part (takes too much effort to learn all I could about X or Y).

Maybe that's why I could never get swayed by a charlatan like that...thing. I can't relate to people who can't admit that they don't know everything. I can't relate to people who can't ever admit that they're wrong. I find it weird to be so fragile that you can't ever be...human.
