Ugh: This Guy Is One Of Those Guys Whose Personality Is His Entire Personality

Sorry to ruin your day, but this is just so insufferable we can’t look away: This guy is one of those guys whose personality is his entire personality. 

Ugh, dude. Can’t you find something better to define yourself than the way that you are?

Thirty-two-year-old Nonprofit Coordinator Julian Coleman is the type of cringey asshole who can’t go ten seconds without exuding one of his many defining characteristics. His entire personality is based around how he likes certain things, acts certain ways, and holds certain values in a unique combination that is specific to him. 

Take one look at his social media feeds and you’ll find post after post where there’s always got to be some sort of reference to something he did or something he was thinking about or a picture of himself or something he saw. 

It’s like, we get it dude: You’re Julian Coleman! You live in Austin! You’re a fulltime caretaker for your disabled sister! Your photographs of your travels through Myanmar in your 20s were made into a book! You’re funny! Your girlfriend’s name is Stacy and you met her when you got in an argument with her on Reddit about the best Nirvana song! But do you really have to make these things–and the many other characteristics that define you as a person–your entire personality?

God, guys like this are SO annoying… 

Would it kill this guy to find something, anything for his personality to revolve around besides his personality? A certain sports team or diet or hobby, maybe? There’s more to life than being you, man. Branch out a little.
