I've always hated threads and websites like this.
It's always best to express your feelings
It's an excuse to be egotistical about yourself, in an attempt to sell yourself. Basically, you have to go around saying "Look at me, how awesome I am." And then you expose yourself to criticism from others who want to be better than you, or cut you down somehow, who comment about your flaws. Most egoists will ignore any comment about their flaws anyway, regardless of the truth value in them.
Yea many of them will...and overall I have been told I have a big ego depending on my mood hehe that I do admit.
And then there's the types who are desperate for validation,
some people have low images of themselves, and would always try to figure out what others thought of them...who don't have a very good sense of self and body image, and are looking for outside confirmation. The internet being what it is, they almost always get flamed, which further adds to their low self esteem. Otherwise someone realizes the person is desperate and takes that as an opportunity to exploit.
So...if everything you said, really did mean something, are you not a person who chooses to exploit others?
Have you ever asked yourself what you gained from it? Then ask yourself, what if it was not John Klyne that started this post, how would I respond?
I bet you gained, the fact that you can feel superior to others, feel a position of power, where your criticisms may in fact matter...maybe you gain the fact that you are here replying to make yourself sound smarter, to make up for the lack in real life...maybe you gained ...well you can answer the question yourself.....
Now if it was not me, (John Klyne) responding, how would those other people take your criticisms? ....well...I bet it would make them feel like **** : ) isn't that reason you probably even bothered to respond...to put pain upon a person who you find vulnerable, because you want to let of your inflicted pain onto others.
A person with a bad enough self esteem will love somebody who flatters them incessantly.
Not sure what incessantly means, but then (I think it means excessively? or something to that extent)...well have you ever found a person who loves being excessively flattered, who showed that they really thought they were better than everyone else out there? Have you never met a person who loved being flattered? Let me rephrase it...it there ANY person out there in the world, who would not love to be flattered.
There really isn't a point. I've known plenty of really ugly people who manage to get laid, and plenty who have gotten married. This applies to both ugly on the outside and ugly within. You kinda need to be able to look in the mirror and be honest with yourself. And if you don't like something about yourself, its up to you to change it.
My two cents
I like your two cents, it made a hefty donation, to my assignment
