I feel like I've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because I don't want to become an embittered asshole.

In all thy humours, whether grave or mellow, Thou'rt such a touchy, testy, pleasant fellow, Hast so much wit and mirth and spleen about thee, There is no living with thee, nor without thee.
