Professing their GenuisHood

Himself proclaims to be a "Gold Collar Worker" and proudly pontificates that he has an A+ personality (like its a good thing). One day I told him "Truly great men don't have to walk around telling everyone how great they are". He just stared at me like a deer in the head lights and said "What do you mean by that?" LOL

Mine was a miner for 15 years until they closed the pit down and now drives for a construction company...BUT, he constantly critises his superiors as being Aholes, he could do the job better standing on his head? Funnily enough his grammar is extremely poor too and he thinks everything he does from buttering his bread (yep, its an art form apparently) to building a wall at the bottom of his garden (he informed one of my friends whose husband has been a bricklayer for 30 years damnit) that his wall is a masterpiece, it's just a wall damnit. Let them live in their soup EERIER (sorry, thats how I see their worlds now) if it pleases them, lets just stick em all behind a 50 foot brick wall and let them butter their bread and dip it into their eerie soup for all ETERNITY :)

although mine was accomplished...med school...he often boasted how his iq is so high that mensa wants him to join...i dont know why he said this, its not true...but i assume it has something to do with admiring themselves as usual.

The ex-Psych professor expected to be treated as a celebrity. He treated HIS COLLEAGUES with disdain if they called him by his real name instead of his surname. He had an Oedipus complex that would make Oedipus jealous... because his father IS famous, and the ex-P assumed he'd be famous by default. His father has published textbooks, is a researcher, has legions of students who love him, I've heard him on NPR... and let's just say the son is NOTHING like the father. The ex-P had NUMEROUS spelling problems. His grammar was labored and long-winded. He liked using big words to sound smart. It explains how he treats his students and his colleagues. He thinks he's brilliance incarnate--yet you have probably never heard of him. He was afraid that if I knew the "REAL HIM" that I'd mock him.... *cue self-fulfilling prophecy* Tons of pretentiousness, little philosophy. Couldn't come up with an original idea even if he got enlightened with the Yaqui shaman Don Juan.

"Wouldnt a Narc need something to validate this thought?" Nooooope! That's what makes Narcs sooooooo special. In their minds, they are the only "real" person in existance, and so it follows. When the Universe revolves around you, you get to call the shots, define reality, and are entitled to enforce it, dontcha know?

This ones hard for me. He (jokingly, yet not so...) called himself a creative genius. Although, very boastful and to most over the top, he had a lot to support it... plus this wasn't really that uncommon in this field and group of friends.

Hahahahahahaha.....they really are pathetic! While mine never said this he did say that people did not "understand" him as if to say he was "special"

LMAO! He's a genius because he says so!! That's all the validation you should need. It's all the validation he needs, after all!
