I'm trying to have a dialogue where one character says something to the lines of "You're being really hard on yourself. You're only _human_." That line doesn't feel right when dealing with an anthropomorphic bug character. They consider themselves ant folk. I tried "folk" I tried "worker" (the general name for members of an ant colony.) But still am left with a blank. I could say "You're only a _bug_. Would that have the same impact?
