To my perception you were being funny and I giggled while reading it 😓

Hey Carolina — then it sounds like a nailed it.

I have a ton of posts saved from your Instagram account and they all disappeared and that sucks, but I feel like the mockery was directed at someone else, not me.

It's not grandiosity but it's more than a joke. It's a form of satirical grandiosity used by all great spiritual teachers, like when Jesus said "No one comes to the Father except through me", or when Osho called himself "Bhagwan".

Actual grandiosity would be your friend's behavior, or me worrying about what will happen if I ruin the joke by posting this comment.

Also “all great spiritual teachers” is wonderful. 😂

Dude this is cool. You’re right — it is more than a damn joke. I default to this response, but I know better. Thanks for pointing it out. Great examples too.

Do you remember a few of the posts you saved? I’d be curious what you had in there. Maybe I can redo it, but better.

I can't remember what I saved from your ryanorrico account, but I saved 50 posts before October 2022. I have my Instagram backup from then, so I can give you the URLs of those posts. I've also saved a bunch of posts from unusuallyfocused and randomtalkingvideo, and I can tell you what those are if that's helpful.
