maleficent

I am probably the wrong person to be answering this question.... because I will be the first person to send off a laundry list of my shortcomings.. there are many, and if people don't see t hem, I w ill happily point t hem out.

I can see some people doing so, as a means to get other people to say - -OH NO you really aren.... insert adjective here.... that's not my motive.... having spent my entire life practically being told by teachers, parents, people who knew me that I wasn't smart enough o r pretty enough or anything enough... that it because easier to point out my shortcomings and laugh about them.. rather than have soemone else do it and have them be hurtful... (humor is a wonderful defence mechanism)

I come across other people in my daily life with way overblown egos, and I'm not sure that's any healthier than my method because I swear that they are delusional... that they can't possibly be as wonderful as they seem to think they are... but it's there fantasy world -- live and let live... but I know others will make them a target and when reality hits them I would imagine t he crash would be pretty hard.
