Couldn't agree more...they can't be better simply cause they are that way (all that you said + thinking they're better).

People who feel the need to, relentlessly bag on others, do it because, deep down in places that they keep hidden, they know that they suck. So they have to make themselves feel superior by dogging others.

That is so true.I used to know someone like that .If some subject would come up & he happened to know more about it,he'd laugh in your face & try to belittle you in front of people or not.He'd even manipulate the conversation so he could laugh in someones face.He was totally insecure & uncomfortable with himself(been there)but that was the only tool in his toolbox to deal with it.He had to have been miserable all the time but would'nt accept the truth & was unwilling to change.He's divorced now cuz he was a bee-yutch.

It's a shame that other people have to put other people down like that. However, it is great that we have all found a place like this where we don't have to worry about stuff like that.
You melons rock !! #rock# #blindmelon_01#

So they have to make themselves feel superior by dogging others. I know this isn't the quote thread, but I thought this one would be appropriate here. . . “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” - Mark Twain

lol I always make remarks about my "brilliant-ness". But then again, anyone that knows me knows i'm joking....its all just a cheap laugh with me really.
I think it takes real arrogance and blind ness to outrightly assume you are better than other people. I know a few people like that, and no joke, i actually LAUGHED at some of the things they've said in the past....but then come to find out they were being fucking serious...and i'm like .... You know, you can't just do that??
I don't know lol People really surprise me sometimes. All the time actually. I wonder what planet you're all on.....you humans are nutters.
Some people are brought up with parents that tell them they're amazing all the time and that they're better than everyone else. Ok i'm not bashing parents that give thier children words of comfort and support and help them build thier confidence, etc.... I'm just bashing the parents that tell thier children that they actually are better than all the other kids in school...etc.
I got a friend who actually said to me:
"You know Briady, nobody can resist me because i'm just so beautiful...i'm more beautiful than anyone else, and thats why i get so many guys"
I laughed but then there was an awkward silence, and i realised she was being serious, and it was on the tip of my tongue to blurt out:
"Actually the reason you get so many guys is because you'd give anyone a blowjob and everyone knows it"
But i didn't say it...i just felt sick then said something like:
"Yeah thats why i get so many hunks too, they cant resist my amazing brain powers....i'm just a guy magnet"
But i said it as a joke then laughed at myself. There was an awkward silence for the rest of the walk. (We were on our way to a party) It was honestly one of the worst feelings ever, i hate those long awkward silences when you know you've done something terribly wrong, but you also know that you were right to do it.
I suppose in the end, all i can do is joke and make laughs about things like that because people that are that fucking up thier own arse....are actually....ridiculous.
And everyone knows that the funniest things and best things to laugh at are the absurd but real things in life.
Abit like when once about a year ago, i was throwing these tiny little sweets over a bridge...and this old lady came upto me and said:
"You 'ain't had brains since the day you were born...."
It honestly made me laugh so much.

My grandma always said "If you had brains, you'd be dangerous." To this day I still have no idea what that means. I would get some brains to try to figure it out, but I don't want to endanger anyone.

My Dad told me a story once about how he admired how this older mentor he had could just go up to people all the time,introduce himself with a hand shake & make eye contact,to total strangers in different situations.My Dad eventually brought this subject up to him,telling him how he admired that.The guy just says...I'm just as nervous & uncomfortable as everyone else.That's how I get over it,I force my self to face this Fear of People by just walking around introducing my self & force my self to look people in the eye...My Dad has been like that since I can remember & in certain situations,I do the exact same thing.Looking people in the eye is still a struggle,but I enjoy being around people more when I do that.

Imagine if you would have told her this. I can only imagine the look on her face. A bloated ego is a big turn off, they usually can't laugh at themselves and people that can laugh at themselves are usually pretty nice to be with because they're usually pretty funny.

i was staying at me aunts place and she gave me two times the amount of hydrocodone I'm supposed to take and i also took cough syrup and ibuprofen. i don't remember much of what happened until i woke up in the hospital and she came in and was acting like she cared or some thing so i just said with a laugh in my voice Shit happens ( when my best friend in the world that I've been friends with since i was a diaper died she said shit happens thats all nothing else just shit happens with a laugh in her voice ). i guess it kinda pissed her off because when i got back and nick came over she was telling him about all these times i did stupid shit like piercing my ears with a button, stabbing some kid, and sleeping in grave yards... and she told my mom it was my fault so now me moms mad at me keep on keeping on
