THIS ^ Was going to mention a similar thing, that no one is as good or as bad as they think they are. Plus, you really can't charge a sense of self to a credit card. No amount of money, clothes, cars, et al. can substitute it. In fact, and this is related to a lack of self-esteem, psychologists also identify excessive bragging as a lack of self esteem. The telling quote "Show me what you brag about and I will show you what you lack" , is true. A happy medium of humbleness with RESPECTFUL homage to your positive qualities is ideal, IMO. Then you wil/can attract the QUALITY PEOPLE you seek and who will REMAIN LONG-TERM in your life. .
If this was 4 years or more ago I would of agree with you... These days the forums is full of 6 figure making, 6 series driving, 6 IT certification holding, international traveling playa's.
You had to know the usual suspects would use this as I'm better than you why can't you be dope as me thread. Now that to me is the biggest manifestation of low self esteem. Can't go a single day without telling the world how great you are.
He does have a point. Positive energy is contagious and some cites/locales have a lot more than others. Cali people are generally cool as shit and the women are lovely; a big part of their charm comes from happiness.
Cali has no water and brimming with homelessness and desperate illegal immigrants and insane gang violence. So all the charm you talk about refers to a really small demographic.
Huh? are the Cali people stressing over their next glass of Dasani? :smt081 I am speaking from the reality of a college educated professional because that's what we both are. Unless you roll dice with crack dealers, you are missing the point.
Don't even waste your time trying to explain Even our homeless people and gang bangers got a little charm.
the point is even having all that stuff going on we don't find time to wallow in our own self pitty. see you notice it too and you get it. right!
