Differences in Actions between Damien and Myself
Scenario: Someone insults you to your face.
What I Do: Play it off like it's nothing.
What Damien Does: Shoots back a much snarkier insult and/or kicks insultor in the shin.
Scenario: Someone ignores you in a class.
What I Do: Pretend I'm not being ignored and try to think about something else.

Scenario: You feel incredibly upset.
What I Do: Hold it inside and pray someone notices.
What Damien Does: Finds his best friend and demands comfort food immediately.
Scenario: You're too tired to function properly.
What I Do: Attempt to power through so as not to let anyone down.
What Damien Does: Tells the world to suck it and takes a power nap.
Scenario: You spend forever doing something special for someone who does nothing for you in return.
What I Do: Act like it's okay.
What Damien Does: Threatens to stop talking to said person until they start actually being considerate.
Scenario: Someone never texts you back, even if they've promised they would.
What I Do: Get upset and glare at my phone.
What Damien Does: Sends said person an extremely nasty text/very angry phone call and then refuses to talk to them for a week.
Scenario: Your life.
What I Do: Live it constantly trying to please others and consquentially get stepped on myself.
What Damien Does: Kicks ass when needed, offends all the time, beats up everyone, and has the time of his life doing it.
See, I know that Damien's an absolute asshole and everything, but sometimes, sometimes, I wish I was like him. Because then I'd not feel terrible about hurting the feelings of people who've hurt me. Sometimes, all I want to do is take someone by the shoulders and shake them and scream at them. But I can't. Because I'm a nice person.
I've realized why my favorite character I've created is an asshole. It's because I lack the ability to be one.
Alright, I'm done now. Happy early Valentine's Day to everyone, tata~!
