Cruel world

I'm in a real bad situation now. This guy at work's a 21 year old loser cultist, right, but he's got a huge ego. The other dudes I work with are pretty average regular people you'd see daily, not thinking they're the center of the universe. I don't know whether to think I'm the crazy one or he is sometimes... is this just how Americans are, each individually thinking they know it all? I know I'm stupid and need to go back to college and learn and become a better person, but this guy he thinks he's the next president or something like that. He continues competing with me, arguing with me, putting me down. No one else does this since it's just rude, and unethical to do so at work. Sure this job is a dirty blue collar job so there's really no such thing as ethics here, but I'm thinking this is something personal. And if I fight back, then what? What's the point? We're here to do a job, keep society functioning, be mature adults who may have differing views but respect each other as Americans should.

Well I'm done with him. I'll never talk to him again no matter what. It's stupid to try to be friendly with someone who's only desire is to break you down mentally. I'm already mentally weak from my last few years of insane internet use. I know the best thing to do in life is lay low and not stir shit up with people, but as always, someone says "hey look, a fine target for abuse has come along, let's bully him and laugh..." SIGH...

Help me Jesus, help me...
