myLot reputation of 80/100. tskmjk55 (482)3 months ago

In psychology, its called "Superiority complex". This kind of people always and will irritate me no matter how I can control my emotions. Now a days, its became a common phenomenon and I learnt a lot from this people on how to lie big time. But some times, I lose my patience leading to a mini brawl. Atleast, they should not tell lies concerned to my department or interests like Science/Technology, History and Programming. My colleagues are big liars or SD people (means Self dubba). Sometimes, I will excuse people who are modest most of the time but sometimes, try to assert themselves.

Hi,tsk,there are people in the society with both the characters -superiority complex and Inferior complex.Both are not succed in their lives.Superiority complex people always feel that they are great and don't accept others greatness.For that type of people,we initially act that we too agree with him whatever he says.Later slowly comvert to our path.All the best and have a nice time. thumbdownthumbupcool

People like that are really common nowadays bu8t I tend to ignore them and just try to listen to them even though I really feel irritated. I will just respect them and don't comment at all since they are really like and I am not responsible for changing them. I have friends like that..and most of my other friends just ignore them...


myLot reputation of 80/100. tskmjk55 (482)  3 months ago

Lot of people say that to ignore those people who has this pathetic habit but you cannot ignore people whom you work with. In that case, proper counselling and calling spade a spade are the best tactics even endorsed by psychiatrists.

Happy Mylotting!!

Hello tskmjk55,happy

well, yeah, and i think it's called bragging as well. it's hard to get along with those kind of people really.in the end they tend to loose it all and beg for forgiveness. in short, they're just a bunch of losers who don't know where they belonglollol


myLot reputation of 80/100. tskmjk55 (482)  3 months ago

Thanks for teaching a new word in english. As told correctly by you, they tend to lose their way due to lack of focus.

It's good to praise themselve to boost some self-confidence, but it will become bad will they over praise themselves. All these people hardly be success in life, they only live in their world, they can't accept any comments and think they alway right and other people is wrong!

Well, normally I just let them say their big lie while I just don't care about them. It only waste my time hear them talking.


myLot reputation of 80/100. tskmjk55 (482)  3 months ago

Thanks for your perfect in sync words. I will tell you about my colleague who says double what others say. Take this...

Friend of mine: My younger brother has brought Hayabusa bike which belongs to his friend. I was amazed by the size and power of it. super bike!!!

Colleague of mine who brags too frequently: Thats nothing...my cousin in kolkatta has purchased it last month only...

When I asked him what his source of income and his work profile, I was shock to hear that he earns a meagre 20k per month and does not have any big amount. He has purchased it "just like that".

I felt that it is too much bragging..


myLot reputation of 98/100. zed_k4 (4781)  3 months ago

I agree with what you said, leoling. Sometimes, I find myself like in the brink of a waste of time listening to bragging talk. This happens a lot in the life outside nowadays, hmmmmm. For me, at least..

Yes i have met this kinda person, I nearly have fight with. I don't like to praise one who like to praise themselves, its bad for their soul, bad for our life, bad for our country. I tend to ignore don't care, I'm not trying to make friend.


myLot reputation of 80/100. tskmjk55 (482)  3 months ago

People with less patience tend to fight with this headache people. I have somewhat commendable patience due to other reasons so I am OK with them but I dont make friendship with them.

6. myLot reputation of 99/100. moneymakingtoday (1806)   3 months ago

we have some office mates who are like that but one is so conspicuous to the point of already irritating people. she always talks in a loud voice for everyone to hear whether it is something she has done at home or in the office. she does not acknowledge work done by other staff and always thinks she is better than anybody. it is so irritating to hear her. what i do is ignore her but sometimes u just can't ignore listening to her loud voice ... i plug earphones into my ears and listen to music instead. that way, i am not hearing her high praises of herself and boasts. some other employees also ignore her and do not mind her. sometimes we walk away from where she is.


myLot reputation of 80/100. tskmjk55 (482)  3 months ago

I have seen some people who will look surroundings and if anybody is there, then they started boasting themselves or their family members so that others will be impressed.

I hate it when people praise themselves and think they are better than everyone else. I have wanted to say something to someone who does this but I usually keep my mouth shut to prevent conflict. Some people are that way and I have accepted that. People who praise themselves don't relize they are making a fool out of themselves when boasting in front of everyone. Sometimes they don't relize it but they are actually hurting peoples feelings. Boasting about what you have or making it a point to thow it in someones face is not polite at all and very rude. People like need to take a class in good behavior. That is the way I see things. Everyone should treat others the way they would want to be treated and respect them. Recieving respect and giving respect is a very good feeling.

well, since it is their nature and they are happy that way. I let them do all the talking until they get tired then proceed to make my own point. Then, if the person insist that i listen to him it hardly makes any differences as they only listen to themselves and is happy to ruin the ears of the listeners while they brag on their accomplishment with no sense of common sense that the people who they are bragging are secretly annoy with their antics..

Now a days, I have adopted a new technic to handle this crap people..just say OK whenever they say something

They r the most difficult people...They use the word 'I' a hundred times in 5 minutes....They think they know everything & all others r fools. They r not good listners, so better avoid them, politely making some excuse....They will win all arguements. so better we keep quiet....


myLot reputation of 80/100. tskmjk55 (482)  3 months ago

You are in sync with my opinion..They use "I" instead of "we" this shows clearly they are losers...

I will just change the topic. If they really deserve the praise, I will patiently hear to their words. If it is false boasting, I do not have patience to hear to that nonsense. Just change the topic and that person has no other way other than changing his boasting topic. He will also get a hint that it is boring for the other party.
