I dont hate Bashir, but it doesnt surprise me that he studied psych. I have met a ton people, even those that only minored in psych, that think they are master manipulators. Yet their shtick becomes obvious once you realize it. Sometimes its one of those things that you felt but couldnt place what it was and then when you realize, you cant believe that you didnt know sooner.
The little smile he does after he asks a question or receives an answer is a good indicator. These people think they are smarter and are trying to extract information to confirm what clinical terms they diagnosed you with
Bashir might not be doing his thesis on fishtank, but he does treat everyone like they are his little test subjects. Maybe one of the reasons he always acts holier than thou and its okay when i do it because im rightous but not okay when you do the same thing. And so confident that his beliefs are right and finds it foolish to consider something that he doesnt believe.
Or hes just a narcissist and im a faggot
