You relate to antagonists because they're honest about their wounds. They don't perform goodness. They don't pretend. Your darkness isn't something to fix — it's something to understand. The soft villain archetype is the most human one: someone who was hurt, didn't heal, and built armor out of anger instead. You deserve a redemption arc. The question is whether you'll let yourself have one.
