Grandiosity
Grandiosity
Just for laughs (I hope), does anyone want to mention their favorite instances of grandiosity?
Last night we were watching a comedian on TV, and suddenly H announces..."I should be a comedian." I just stared at him, half-laughing. He goes on to tell me how funny he is, etc and he always should have been a stand-up comedian.
This is funny to me for several reasons:
A) this is the first time he's ever said that...so in his typical fashion it just entered his head because he saw a comedian on tv at that moment. But he's "always" thought that.
B) He does go around desperately TRYING to be funny, saying stupid, embarrassing, and inappropriate things at inappropriate times in an effort to impress others, especially people we don't know very well which makes it 100 times more embarrassing.
He got more and more swelled up about it telling me how funny everyone thinks HE is...and got really condescending about it. I just laughed and said, you know, sometimes you are reaaallly full of yourself. He just shrugged and laughed.
In the same conversation he also told me he should be able to go on and on talking til he's done and then I can say something (that's his definition of a conversation)...even if it takes an hour. He was being sarcastic about the hour, but he was getting miffed that I would want any limit at all on how long he was to have his monologue.
I just observe him like a scientist now. ;P
ROFL!
