bleah.

I hate it when I am inarticulate in Important Conversations, don't get my meaning across, and - worse - end up (probably) getting quite a different meaning across than what I'd meant.

Then come away from conversation frustrated with not having been able to make Person believe, not really, what a magnificent human being he is.

sorry, but...

...having been subjected to quite a few Important Conversations, I have to say that the worst torture for a he-type human being is being made believe he is magnificent, primarily so because the main Implication of such belief is some kind of Responsibility and Obligation, both of which we bastards thoroughly avoid. You might have been TOO articulate and he may not have liked the meaning...

I dunno. Speaking for myself, I believe that I would feel very uncomfortable being called a magnificent human being. Because I'm not. Perhaps he also is not a magnificent human being, and is frustrated that you can't see this.
