I didn’t say to be okay with being an asshole.

Trying to live so that nobody ever sees you as an asshole is a recipe for depression and regret.

How, else do you interpret that? Assuming that depression and regret are things to be avoided, then saying living so that no one sees you as an asshole = depression would mean that, if you want to avoid depression, you necessarily have to be an asshole. I suppose you can be an asshole without being ok with it.
