Yep. That shoulder chip is on a pretty unstable perch.
Hard to examine something that ain’t there
Attributing every slight, however miniscule or casually spoken, to personal animosity based on one’s treasured identity, is a hall-mark of narcissism. Just as every time a certain black person sees someone absently looking at them, they conclude it must be racism.
