What do these lines mean? please help
In Looking
Richie: When I feel disrespected, especially by someone that I care about,
it just does something to me, okay?
Um, my pride is something that I'm working through.
It makes me see things all twisted, and I just had to go and shake it off.
Patrick: Richie...
Richie: No
Richie: I know that I'm extra sensitive about where I'm from, and that's my own thing.
And you have your own issues about it.
I know you think you don't, but you do.
What do these lines mean "my pride is something that I'm working through" / "that's my own thing" in this context?
Richie thinks his pride is a problem for him to see things straight, so he tried to forget his pride?
I have no idea what "that's my own thing" mean.
If you could help me with these lines, i'd really appreciate your help :)
