They didn't want to do it since it doesn't seem to pose any difficulties for me now.

Now I eat almost everything, am comfortable with holding speeches in front of people and such. Feeling empathy is a bit hard at times though. Especially with difficult people.

Did I ever claim that?

I said I can hold speeches given the circumstance, not that I want to please everybody.
