I don't think that was at all intentional on his part. 
I think I can understand the feelings here because I felt that way two years ago right after joining a forum for the first time. I even posted that I'd suffer severe mental damage if I lost my draconity, but then when I lost it for the first time and regained it (similar to here), somehow it just didn't happen. My head didn't cave in suddenly, or whatever it was I said.

I'd have worded it a bit differently. We humans aren't really ALL bad... just horribly misguided by one another and not honest enough with ourselves about our feelings as we should be. If we thought things out a bit more logically, held a bit more respectful honesty toward our emotions, and maybe didn't pollute so much, we wouldn't be too different from most of the other animals on this planet.
A lot of thinking types tend to grow down and gloomy when criticizing humanity, but I think that our flaws can be overcome, even if only by one individual at a time. For me to think that there'd be no hope and for me to be COMPLETELY disheartened by humanity, there'd have to be exactly zero human beings in the world who care about me, a sentiment easily struck down however hard my 'other half' has previously tried to push it. 
So please don't feel that way goldendragon. To an extent most people actually have a potential for overcoming their various flaws... it just takes patience. (And for the record you'd be surprised at how antlike the dragons that adopted me were.) As of now, you have a body that can communicate freely with others, build new innovations, and discover stuff. Would it really be worth tossing that away because of some other people?

Quite a wise statement. If I were not other kin. Well I'd just be human.
I am always proud of who I am. I never let anyone tell me who I am. If I want to believe in dragons that is what I'll do. But as Hyraxylos said, you can't just throw away who you are. It leaves nothing but shame in it's wake.
I learned this the hard way. As a drifter you tend to forget who you are from time to time, but there are always people I trust enough to be who I am. That sometimes is all it take to know who you are. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. When push comes to shove will you rise up or stand down?
