On top of my prior discovery, I've found out that those same authority figures have some sort of incredible super power.

The power to make you wish you never existed with just one remark about how you screwed up. Knowing full well you've told yourself that a dozen times already.

I know none of you want to hear this, and I get that this putting up with endless ranting and complaining is annoying, but it just makes it feel so much better. I'm not kidding, it literally melts away the stress and frustration in a few instants. You don't even need to look at this, really just posting it helps.
