People talk about themselves all the time. Directly or indirectly, they
usually have the intention to promote their views, opinions, or increase
their self-esteem. I'm wondering now if I'm too radical when I say that
I do bother about this behavior...
Sometimes I can't stand being close to someone who is a narcissist.
However, what **really** pisses me off is talking to someone who
**pretends** not to be a narcissist! This is absurdly annoying. They
frequently talk about themselves, mentioning their freaking
achievements, secretly waiting for other people to admire them, **but**
they also like to say that they are not so good as they wanted, or that
they should give more value to what they do, and so on...
Oh, man. Really? Can't you just stop appraising yourself externally, and
start doing this internally, which is by far the most important thing to
do? Can't you just be a nice guy/girl and stop talking about yourself
like you were in a freaking presentation?
On the other hand, I understand that this kind of people probably have
some serious internal issues (who doesn't, huh?), and they probably want
everyone to pay attention to them as much as possible. We've got to be
patient with them, understand their problem, and maybe try to help
(how??). But sometimes it's just too hard to do that.
New year's resolution? Nah, I don't think so...
