My old roommate wrote him and got a brief letter back thanking him for support and so on.

### REPLY:
Sweet. My issue is that he comes off very pompous (even if he doesn’t intend to) and everyone including himself knows he is very smart, so when it comes to interacting with a personality like that it feels very intimidating to me, so I end up coming off more passive and flustered than I want to as I create a power struggle in my head over it.

### END.
