I'm not adding a single lie to this.
Up until high school, I thought I was extremely handsome..
Of course, I'm not ugly..
So..
I thought I was extremely handsome, that's what I mean..
Then I went to university..
As time passed this way and that, I naturally came to realize
I am handsome,
but I'm not extremely handsome..I'm only at the level of Won Bin..that's what I realized..
This was what I thought until university..
I thought I was a genius..
If I put my mind to it, I could always come in first..
If I put my mind to it, I could do anything..
But as time went on, I realized..
My brain is good..
but it's not extremely good..so I'm not at Einstein's level.. that's what I came to realize..
At first I was disappointed..
Now, well..I just accept it..
When I meet people, there are often those who boast about themselves..
Most do it as a joke..many are just trying to make people laugh..
In my case..
When I write, it may seem like I'm boasting a lot about myself,
but when you actually meet me, it's not like that..I'm the type who just speaks facts as they are..
But..
Even at this age, I sometimes see people who haven't yet come to this realization..
From what I can see, it's definitely not a joke..
They seem to firmly believe that they really are that way..
Probably..
They seem to be someone with incredible skill(?) that can even deceive themselves..
When I meet people like this, I do something..
I have a bit of a rebellious and crazy streak..and of course, you've experienced it a lot, so you probably already know..
I boast about myself tremendously..
At first, they look with curious eyes,
and later, they almost lose their composure, as the saying goes..
To the point of thinking "How can someone like this exist?"..
I tell them my boasts..no, I tell them who I really am..
It's what I call a counter-boasting operation..
There's a mirror effect to this..
Some insignificant person shows up
and someone who's nothing special boasts about themselves tremendously..
Thinking "How can such a person exist?"..
they discover their own reflection..
Of course, not everyone discovers it..
In this short life..
everyone lives savoring the taste of their own abilities,
and actually, well..there's no need to necessarily discover it..
