I'll have to agree...

I can't stand people that think they're all that when they aren't..

I can't stand people that think they have no talent when they do..


The people I like best are those that have a balanced picture of themselves. It's refreshing.

A little boastfulness and self-congratulations is okay, kind of humorous in my opinion, but when conveyed a little too often, it becomes a little overwhelming. Ha ha.

My favorites are those who -- *whatever* their self-assessments, --
are inoffensive to their fellow-beings.
That's the bottom line.

as opposed to those who despise themselves as worthless and spread theyre hate onto others.no if your going to error on either side of a self image i think that it would be better to error on the side of over confidence. but on the other hand anybody with healthy self esteem wouldnt give two shits about anybody elses opion anyways if it did not contribute constructively to theyre goals and values which makes this thread fairly obsolete.

What would your definition of inoffensive be, zorro? I have to disagree with you if you're talking about somebodies inclination to challenge. That's the way it's always been. Competition for resources. If there was no competition we'd all be living under one communist government, wearing the exact same clothes, reading the exact same things. I'd personally rather have someone offensive than inoffensive.

As long as someone knows what they got, dishes out what they have, and takes out only what they dish - they have my respect.

My public speaking instructor once said that the easiest topic to speak on is yourself. you already have the facts and the research is done. although unavoidable, using the ord "I" makes me wince. i hate to sound conceited, but its the most comfortable subject to talk on. i know that i (god!!) talk about myself alot, but i (ah!!) really hope it doesn't come off all high and mighty.

conceited people do bother me. there is a differance between being good at something and letting everyone know you are good at somthing.

I (sorry!) agree on the part that the word makes me wince. It makes the sentence choppy.

Do me come off as trying to sound high and mighty? I realize that me uses the word 'I' a lot in my posts. Honest answer please...me realize that I can sound conceited at times :mad:

ARG! Arrogant people suck!

But we should really feel pity for them, because after all, them feeling the need to let others know how good they are shows that they are actually really insecure doesn't it?

But still, doesn't mean we have to like em. ;)

I'll tell u a story of how me and my buddy really got back at this arrogant stupid bitch (who will be refered to ASB from now on) in primary school... hehe.. oh the delight we felt!


The whole class was separated into groups and we had to make these mural thingys around the class. Unfortunately, my friend and I were in put into the ASB's group. Well, after consoling ourselves, we went about the group work, well, group that was until the ASB got involved. My friend and I were going to start when the ASB came and started nagging about how we were doing it wrong. I kept saying, just wait and see how it looks a bit first. She kept going and we were starting to get pissed. Then she said it, and that was it.
'Look guys, if you want this to look good, let me do it.'
That was it. I felt so much relief, 'YES!' I though, the perfect senario to get her! If I had a spiritual image, it would have looked like a demon with a evil, satisfied smile on its face.
'Alright,' I said.
And I put the pencils into her hands and my friend did so too and we walked away while she said, 'Hang on guys, hey, come back!'

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA!

Yes, it was a bitter victory for our 10 year old minds! :D

they still shouldn't be going around telling the world. There's no reason to do so. Or a better thing to say would be:

There's no reason to do that, true or not, unless you needed to. For example, for a job interview, at an emergency scene where your skills might have some purpose, etc.

Otherwise, its just pointless babbling.

Actually, reading fredx's posts inspired me to create this topic, read into that what you will. ;)

Man, who rattled your chain?
In your opinion noone should give a shit that has a healthy self esteem, its nothing to do with self esteem, people that brag all the time always find themselves taking bullshit but dont admit to it cause they are compulsive liars. They put others down and make people feel worthless even if they have no reason to feel like that - i generally know better than to listen to people like that but other can feel put down. People that feel that they need to let everyone know how cool/brainy/whatever are insecure in my opinion. I was just wanting to know what the people of this forum thinks on the matter and no this thread isnt obsolete.

Yeah, raven,

I'll have to go with dudeyhead. It's great that the people who are all that know it. But what I've found with truly amazing people is that they don't flaunt it. They're generally quiet or soft-spoken, and you can feel greatness coming from them. They also realize the fact that although they may be great - it's a lot idfferent from being superior. And so, they treat everybody - idiots and geniuses alike with equal amounts of respect and compassion.

Do you like people that love thereself? Do you like people who love their-self. :p lol

It depends what you mean. I think it's healthy to love oneself, as long as it's not a narcicisstic love.

And yes, it is so much more annoying when someone doesn't even know theirself, especially when someone loves the person that they are not. I think that people that love themself are boring Err, I have to say I think it's healthy. There is something wrong if someone hates theirself, and an indifferent approach to the self, by a biological being, again cannot be natural. One of the two: love or hate, has to be the most natural, and I choose to love myself.

Actually BillClintonsCigar, it should have been "themselves" to begin with. Now you look even dumber than Captain Crunch did to begin with.

If its reasonable loving themself, then no problem. If its someone who seems to live purely for their ego, then yes.

If its someone who seems to live purely for their ego, then yes. By this I presume you mean immediate self gratification, that is what the Ego is.

Its well known im not the best at spelling and grammar but i do think it was obvious to anyone what i meant and i thought it was the conversation or the point that the person was trying to make that was the most important thing. Stop the petty nitpicking. Pm me if you have a problem with the way i spell or the use of my grammar. It doesnt matter how many times this is said you always get people picking on grammar and spelling, this forum isnt exclusively people from the english speaking world.

When i said love thereself (thats what i typed but i meant themselves :P) i meant the people that have a huge ego that can do nothing but praise themselves and rate themselves very highly compared to others around them that may be more intellegent and have more going for them etc.

One of the people i know basically lost every freind he had due to this 'elitism', considering himself to be 'better' than everyone when he was not, we all eventually got sick of the selfpraise, therefore he lost the freinds that he had. To me, if you have a habit of thinking your elite you come across as a bit of a tit and people, in general, will not like you for it. Any thoughts on this?

Cheers.

"Do you like people that love thereself?"

Most people i know (including myself) act like "they think they're amazing" but I've never known anyone (closely) who truly believed it. Arrogant people are just better at projecting their false confidence, otherwise their just like the more practical people of the world.
