  • He’s unlikely to see it at his age. When I was 23, I had zero clue that the things I said actually had emotional impacts on people. And if someone got upset after I said something I was genuinely baffled. Turns out I’m autistic, and it just didn’t compute for me. Now, in my 40s, I’m very conscious of how what I say impacts people. But that may just be learned behavior. I’m not sure I have any instinctual empathic sense in relation to how people hear words. I’m not saying this dude is autistic. He could just be wrapped up in himself and arrogant. Something to think about. But it’s highly unlikely he has some kind of epiphany in the near future, and suddenly internalizes and processes all the feedback you have given him, correctly.
