Why are some people so proud to reject someone and boast about their high standards yet get upset when someone rejects them?

Question

I feel like it’s narcissism… People think they’re just the best thing that ever existed. I’m not talking about men and I’m not talking about women there is people like this of both sexes.

They brag what high standards they have. Many aren’t looking for love they want money or sex. People who are decent people know this.

These type of men and women always go after the top tier of the other sex and get rejected and become very bitter. But they are so happy that they reject people left right and center…

Its not like they don’t have options… Well some don’t. But they’re never happy with anyone.

Wow you described exactly how I used to be. You are right, when we do get rejected we are bitter about it. Thankfully I have found God, he saved me.

Saved my personality and made me revaluate my life and what kind of person I want to be. I'm not like this anymore and I thank God that I'm not anymore. I've mature considerably too which I think a good chunk of why someone acts like that is because they are very immature.

I'm sorry you have come across a lot of people like this. I'm sorry to everyone who has been stepped on and had their heart ripped out by people like this. It's truly awful and disgusting. It's like they and me included (at the time) forgot how to be human and treat people as human beings with respect.

It's an ego boost but at the same time it is pathetic to act that way and treat people like that. Don't worry they'll reep what they sowed. I did ten fold and I got a ton of karma for being such a disgrace. I deserved it.

I will always regret the way I treated the guys that approached me. They thought I was a catch and realized later they dodge a bullet, because I was crazy.

Crazy for playing with their emotions and time as well as enjoying to break their heart. To add them to my list of men who have asked me out and who have liked me. I really hope and wish you find the woman/man that makes you happy. I hope you never come across a person like this again.

A lot of people just can't think past themselves. They view things as if they are living in a movie and they are the protagonist, and then get mad when they get treated like a side character.

You're confused.

Not everyone has realistic ideals, let alone standards. They can delude themselves all they like, as long as it doesn't break any laws.

This should be among the lessons learned at school, but fewer kids these days get to build a social life or social skills. Hence why most teens and adults now are fucking retards when it comes to relationships. They take their cues from porn, sitcoms and fly by night dating articles, usually written by people as hopeless at dating as them!

Regardless, some people just don't handle rejection well. They will deflect onto others, but in most cases it's just their lack of social skills and nothing else.

they are proud because there's no one there to stand up to them and give them a dose of humility

there's simps and white knights there to cheer on and enable this bad behavior so those egoists neither change their ways

these egoists get upset at the concepts of alphas and betas yet they have the audacity to believe in "leagues" and that they are superior to some and others that are deemed beneath them and not worthy of their attention

You are surprised when you observe hypocrisy in others?

catiecatie · Answer

I’m not going to lie but I’ve rejected people a time or two, maybe more. It’s not that I don’t like them, but it’s ruining a friendship or our energies wouldn’t really be well as a couple. I like this one guy and I hope he likes me back. It seems like he does but who knows. Fingers crossed it works out though!

It’s funny that all the pop songs nowadays like Taylor Swift and all that garbage is about what a loser their ex partner was and how proud they are to dump them… yet you were the one stupid enough to date the loser in the first place Taylor, your poor judgment is nothing to be proud about.. Taylor, Miley, (and all the rest of you auto tuned pop tarts)

Thieves hate when someone steals from them, cheaters hate being cheated and people who reject others for satisfaction of their ego dislike being rejected. That's because everyone is very special for themselves.

Success breeds  vanity  and  egotism  if not careful.  People are like that because they really believe they are better than others. They are ignorant and mislead.  Don't worry about them. Focus on your goals and your life. We all need to do a better job at focusing in.

Guccigabbana18 · Answer

They're actually insecure. They boast to get that ego boost and maintain an image of being desirable enough to reject people. To be the one who's "wanted" and better.

AdithyaR · Answer

Yep that's a mix narcissism and hypocrisy.
They love rejecting people cause it makes them feel like they're in a position of power. That kind of mindset can also lead someone to be unnecessarily rude while rejecting people.
But people who dish this out can't take it. Cause when they get rejected they see it as being the one of lower power or status, so it bugs them.

Canoro · Answer

Is not the same to punch than be punched. Of course you're gonna hurt if you get punched. Why boasting about punching someone? Obviously because you want social recognition, or else you wouldn't boast about it, and probably that person sees that person's that boast about get treated better, so s/he wants to be treated that way too, so he offer the group of people an offering to be treated good, that s/he punched someone.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I think you make a lot of sense. Delusions of grandeur and narcissistic tendencies could be a valid explanation.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

shades777 · Answer

Some people are jacked up in the head man, if she ain't head over heels just leave her alone, thats my advice

LiamJHayden · Answer

They're delusional? Stuck up? Anyway, someone who brags about it tells me to avoid the person.

Z1pTD · Answer

Eh people are selfish. It's human nature so I try to not let it bother me.

Hot take: Rejection is completely acceptable and usually a good decision made for good reasons. Rejecting someone because you're at a different stage of life can be one of those good reasons. Talking about how someone is below/behind you and that's why you rejected them puts you way below their level.

Deserter · Answer

Cause they want to act like they're special, like the people they reject aren't, but then get pissed when treated the same

LibertyOrNothing · Answer

They've been told they are special and that the other side is not.

Adaeva · Answer

Everyone is upset when rejected. Therefore, the fact that someone boast and have high standards is not relevant.

Archferret · Answer

Because - they think rejection is only for other people, not for them!  they think their standards are so high, no one else should be able to meet them.
