[ he doesn't know what this guy's been through, but he's seen his fair share of people being unnerved by the abnormal, and the way he talks about it makes it sound like he's used to people freaking out over him. it's often quite difficult for peter to shut his mouth or filter his thoughts before they reach his mouth, but he can admit when he's done something wrong. ]
