Does ego bother/annoy you?

Post Reply New Topic

Oh gawd I've met people in my time who talk in the third person, the whole works. People like that irritate me to the point of making taking them down a sport. I went out with a girl who actually said my greatness made her greater... ahah wow, what an idiot. Some people should not be allowed Cocaine.

I work in a factory filled with testosterone pumped chauvinistic men that think all that matters is them. It's like one big competition to see who's the toughest, and it makes me sick. I am in the wrong environment, and I am the wrong type of person to be mixing with them all the time. It is literally making me ill. Their egos are way too inflated and I'm too much of a sensitive person to cope with it all.

Sometimes though I must laugh at them for being so childish and looking like a bunch of cocks without realising it.

The sort of people that bother me are people that act like they are the only (insert condition here) in the world or on the forum or people who think whatever happened to them was the worst while there are other things out there that happen worst than that and has have happened to some other people in the world, or people who act like who are better than others and seem to keep on bragging. I know everyone "brags" because it's normal and part of small talk (saying your kid used the potty or your kid took their first step, telling everyone about your new home or how you got a home run in the game, etc. is "bragging" and lot of people do that) but saying the same thing over and over comes to real bragging. I also can't stand people who think they can never do wrong so they're blind to their own actions or pretend they don't notice and see themselves as victims when their victims react in a negative to their behavior. Then they get mad when their flaws or faults are pointed out when they are acting like hypocrites. It's all due to ego they have and they get upset when you hurt their pride. They just can't handle the truth and they see it as an attack instead.


I had to block someone online because she had this huge ego about herself and her problems and telling me she wants other people to feel bad and she has every right to complain because she had it worse than others but no there are other things that are worse than what she got and those people don't act like it was the worst thing that has ever happened to them and they don't try and act like they are better than others and more important because of it. Then when she told me I am aspie so I have to put up with it, I never spoke to her again after that. She even admitted to likes to brag to make others feel bad and she called everyone else snobs or spoiled because they had things she didn't have such as getting to travel because their parents paid for their trips. We had things in common but this was just too much for me. She also happened to be Bipolar and she decided to quit taking her medicine so the bitterness returned and this all came back. But this was too much for me to deal with so I ran.

It's okay, not everyone can be as awesome as me.

This doesn't bother me at all. Others can talk about themselves in whatever ways they want. I don't usually notice that someone is bragging, or maybe I can't tell what is bragging in the first place.

It is one of my greatest beliefs to never show arrogance or brag unless an accomplishment must be entailed for context. It makes everybody except the braggart feel angry or inadequate and is a main cause for demotivation. I just had a meltdown today relevant to somebody bragging of an accomplishment(or what really wasn't a great accomplishment, but they perceived it as such) of mine without my permission on Facebook(which I already have problems with,) because apparently their relation to me makes it acceptable, despite my strict rules to not espouse egoism from my self, let alone other people doing it for me( especially when they have a misconstrued idea of the 'accomplishment.') I enjoy reflecting about individual progression and benchmarks in private with maybe close friends and family rather than expressing individual accomplishments in public or on a social networking site, to be honest.

I'm either indifferent, or blind to egocentric people. Otherwise I'm egocentric myself! to the people around me within my special interests at least, literal bragging rites...

If I don't constantly tell myself that I'm smarter and better and more deserving than everyone until I actually believe it, I think I'm a worthless imbecile, I deserve suffering, and everything I say people are thinking "This guy is stupid", or worse "This guy has AS." I really, really wish they had not put me in with the learning disabled kids in third grade because I had dysgraphia. I saw them, thought "these are really stupid kids, they're so stupid I actually hate them, but the teachers think this is the place for me!" That they pulled me out a week later to put me in the gifted and talented program didn't help, if they still initially thought I was stupid and it required testing to show I wasn't, that was the same as being stupid. Believing I'm better than others is the only thing that makes my unipolar depression better besides psychedelic drugs, and the first one is safe and effective for everyday use.

Of course I know people don't like people who act that way, so I simply don't act that way.

Yes, except when it's my own.

Ego honestly doesn't bother me, when it is not out of order.
