    31. Beware the Cucks.

    People who change themselves around others are the saddest types of people, because all they are actually doing is broadcasting their insecurities to anyone who actually knows them, and insulting themselves in doing so. I’ve encountered almost every variant of this kind of person and found there to be no similarity amongst them, aside…
