Wow, I can’t get past the first couple of paragraphs.

Are there really people like this? HN is probably the wrong place to ask this question, but this is so far outside of my bubble that I just cannot relate. Some people feel like this, for real?

Ok, sure. But is the disbelief there are other people unlike him out there warranted?
