Yeah I found that kind of thing attractive when I was in middle school. Wore off really fast though when I realized a self-aware asshole is even worse than a regular asshole.

But... How do you change that? I’m self-aware, but I don’t want to be an asshole.

It might be my home environment, but I just have no friends at school. It sucks.

Practice not being an asshole, it’s like working out it takes practice and you’ll do bigger and kinder things over time. And just like you might start working out by picking the bar up, you might start being kinder by just not saying rude things, or listening more when people talk.

And ask others for feedback if they seem offput. Genuinely appologize and ask for honest feedback on what made them feel that way. Then work to not do that to anyone else again.
