pleasant, happy man who attracts people with your sunny disposition, charisma and empathy.

You are pretty close.

Nahh. In reality, I'm somewhat sad and brooding, but I am both empathetic and charismatic... also handsome and youthful in ways I neither deserve nor understand... and here's the part you'll never get. I have a great number of friends, neighbors and family members who adore me and know me as someone they can count on through thick and thin.

You on the other hand, strike me as a shallow, miserable cur... one who's amassed some modest amount of lucre, and whom but for that, would not have a "friend" in the world. You have probably never known anything beyond relationships of convenience. You have no important sense of morality or value; you're an empty thing, devoid of any capacity for empathy or introspection... essentially a sociopath. I'd guess there probably isn't a soul in your life that would think to count on you in time of need.

Good luck with all that.
