How do you feel about people that always have to be better than you? They always have to “one up” you?

[Wallythewalrus2]

I was telling, what I thought was a friend, how excited I am about becoming a EXPER Level 6, instead of being happy for me, this is basically what she said, “You’re such a loser! Big deal, I’m a level 7 and nothing changed for me. You should just grow up”! Wow, just WOW! She couldn’t be happy for me, just had to make herself feel superior. Do any of you know people like this?

[LazerBean]

I knew someone like that. Today is actually his pre trial for sexually assaulting his nephews and nieces. I don't feel very positively about him.

[Slingblade1126]

That sounds like a horrible situation! How did you know him? By the way, Hi, LazerBean, nice seeing you again.

[Wallythewalrus2]

@LazerBean Don’t forget what I said about his head!

[LazerBean]

Thanks, sling! Nice to see you again too.

And he was the weird kid that lived up the street from my husbands parents. My husband predicted he was going to be a child molester years before it happened.

[Slingblade1126]

Wally, you son of a bitch! I told you to take that picture down! LazerBean, my head isn’t that big, Wally’s is just that tiny.

[Wallythewalrus2]

@Slingblade1126 NEVER!

[Lisia]

THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID

[Lisia]

Am I getting mho now?

[Wallythewalrus2]

I’m having a hard time typing through my tears. You hurt me! Bad! I

[Lisia]

I'm sorry but you hurt me more when you said you didn't want to come to Antarctica for me!

[Wallythewalrus2]

Okay, I accept your apology. Let’s just go on like nothing happened.

[Lisia]

Deal

[Wallythewalrus2]

You wash my back, I’ll wash yours!

[Lisia]

Thanks dad! I'll wash your back a lot from now on

[Wallythewalrus2]

I like the sound of that! 😉

[Billlewis]

The reason he's asking is because Wally is better than any other guy, without even trying... lol

[Wallythewalrus2]

I can’t argue with you, Bill.

[Billlewis]

Thank you very much, Sir. How's the tanning coming along?

[Wallythewalrus2]

My ass looks like it’s made of bronze. Perfect for you to 💋

[Billlewis]

Yes, Sir, thank you very much. It's a privilege.

I had a childhood friend for 50 years. She married a guy with a rich family and has never had to work.

She was just using me to show off her life to me. It took me until I was in my 60's when I finally figured her out. Duh!
She was always trying to make me envious of her. Sending me pictures of all of her vacations around the world when she knew I was sick and bed bound and couldn't go anywhere. "Oh, look at us having fun. Too bad you can't".
Finally I got upset with her because I really needed to talk to her, and she was too busy at the beach in a $3,00/week home on the beach. See, she always had to let me know the price of everything too.
When I didn't get a text from her, I reminded her of what a good friend I've been to her all these years. She texted back telling me how she was offended by my text.
I never texted or contacted her again.

And actually I felt better by ending the one-sided relationship. I even tore up all of her pictures and that was cathartic. Felt good to do that!

[Wallythewalrus2]

That sounds just like my wife’s sister.

[Beckybooboo]

A guy I went on a date with. I actually told the story on one of Lisia’s questions. If I told him about something I did, he did it five times and better. He would ask me a question and basically tried to answer it for me. I was so glad when the night was over!

[mandyfire98]

Narcissistic people need to feel like they are the smartest and best in any room.

[Wallythewalrus2]

I hate to say it, Mandy, but I used to be like that (kind of), I wouldn’t say I was a narcissist but I would one up people at times. My wife hated that and actually complained about it so much, my behavior changed. You can actually teach an old dog new tricks!

[mandyfire98]

I'm glad you improved

[Slingblade1126]

I have a cousin like that, drives me fucking nuts! He’s a doctor and basically walks around telling everyone that. I have another friend, that happens to be on this site, that is like that.

[Wallythewalrus2]

Becky? I never saw her as being arrogant at all.

[Beckybooboo]

Me? Only thing I’m better than anyone at doing, is ruining fun. Lol

[Slingblade1126]

@Beckybooboo Not you, Becky! You are wonderful. Lol I think Wally is drunk again.

[Beckybooboo]

I know, Slingblade, it’s Wally causing trouble. I’m thinking of blocking him, AGAIN! Lol

[tfan1]

Oh yes some of my family I don’t talk to at all. All of them have always one upped me. So I don’t deal with it anymore. They want to stick their noses in the air so high an airplane could fly into the nostrils? Best way to deal with it, ignore them.

[IslaTheWitch]

Some people are insecure AF and look for any occasion to prove and get confirmation of their worth...

[serious]

Yes of course, there are many people who have that kind of attitude. Such people do not act on logic rather they always want their big egos to be satisfied and to do that they always try to show they are superior to others.

[The-Stud]

That's pretty toxic behavior, you don't want people like that around you.. waste of energy lol

[RebelinSteel]

There is always someone that has been to Elvenarife or twelvearife.

[exitseven]

I invite anyone who thinks they can be better than me to go for it.

[KrakenAttackin]

Just let them have their narcissism and slowly cut them from your life.

[WhitneySnow]

She sounds like a very unhappy person

[Wallythewalrus2]

We made up.

[WhitneySnow]

Good

[laly520]

never cared about em
I believe to each person their own pace

[Wiredone]

There are a lot of people out there that are like that. They don't care about other people's happiness

[justabuddy]

I try my best to just focus on myself. That way I'm not competing with anyone.

[PrincessFlora]

Yes they can ruin moods easily

[Wallythewalrus2]

Don’t even wanna be in the same room with them!

[Ashley1993]

Should be avoided lol

[Alex-Snow]

I have no use for those kind of people

[TiaNour]

I hate them

[Wallythewalrus2]

I knew you would, because you are classy.

[TiaNour]

Is that a compliment 😭

[Wallythewalrus2]

I don’t know, I’m drunk AF!

[TiaNour]

Wally don’t get drunk
