what the fuck is my problem?

In the last 72 hours, i've had thrown in my direction charges (from different people) that i'm too whiny and too mean. This has made me more self-conscious than usual, and i wonder if perhaps i'm just behaving badly as of late, or if i actually have a deep sociopathic streak to which i've been turning a blind eye.

I'm not looking for comfort or reassurance, though. I'm looking for criticism. If you're reading this, i'm laboring under the assumption that you care, to some degree, about me. And so, i ask you, gentle reader, to point out what fault you find in me. If you feel that you don't know me well enough, then by all means preface your criticism with, "I don't know you that well, but it seems to me that..." For your peace of mind, i'm screening all comments, and i'll unscreen yours if you ask for it, and, by all means, make an anonymous comment if you wish (although i'll likely do my best to figure out who left it via your IP address).

So, do i complain too much or too loudly? Am i a cruel jerk? Something else? One thing: You can't criticize me for having a huge ego. That bit is obviously non-negotiable; if i didn't have a huge ego, why would i bother obsessing about myself enough to ask you to criticize me? Otherwise, anything goes; i'd prefer serious and fair criticism, but light-hearted stuff or even plain ol' viciousness will not be turned away. I pledge to not berate or flame you if i don't like what you have to say or how you say it; at worst, i'll ignore you.
