Hubris and ego usually do go hand in hand. I see a lot people say that the reason people freak out is because of the rewards. I don't think that is true because it seems like the freakouts are about the same whether it is pennies or not. Usually it just seems like the person that freakouts is inherently hostile and naturally treats people that way.

One should never go full retard though.

Never go full retard! Maybe I should add something to that effect to my downvote comments 🤣

Keep being yourself man. I doubt we would have had such a good experience meeting each other if you were pretending to be something you are not. Fake people tend to have very boring conversations. 😅
