I love this sort of story. It is a type of internal dialogue in which the narrator betrays character flaws. All the while the narrator expects the reader to be sympathetic, and as the story unfolds the narrator's self-delusion becomes evident. You do this very well. It's easy to overplay the self delusion so it's not believable. You strike a nice balance.
I leave a small tip instead of a vote for now, because my VP is low. I couldn't resist commenting, though.
Thank you very much @agmoore for your support. I'm glad I was able to deliver the message just how i wanted it delivered.
