paddington bear Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Know this guy who something could have happened with but never will because he: talks about himself ALL the time (and I mean without pause, for hours) boasting, over-emphasising his achievments (bordering on outright lies) eyes glazing over and looking bored when the conversation is not centered on him telling me things that I already know as if he is imparting some amazing knowledge to me Repeating what I've said back to me as advice or an opinion, kind of like this (but about other subjects): Him: I hate fried potatoes Me: Really? I really like them, especially when you add rosemary Him: The thing is Paddington, you should really try fried potatoes with rosemary, I think you'd like it Me: wtf? I am curious, is this 'normal' selfishness, just unaware of how he comes across, or is it more than that like narcissistic personality disorder? Either way, would have been interested in this guy romantically, but he's repeatedly blown it with his inabilitiy to talk about anything but himself.
Kamille Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Any chance you intimidated him and he was trying to impress you? Or is he like that with other people too?
0hpenelope Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Man, I would run away from him faster than he can yell "STAY!" Though I do wonder if Kamille's right. What if he's just trying to impress or if he does this to everyone? Can't understand people who talk about themselves all the time... I get bored.
kalikula Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 I think we've dated the same dude... Such a waste of time, we were casually seeing each other and stopped. My friend told me it was for the best and mentioned that when he (my friend) tried to talk to the guy about running, he stopped paying attention after a few seconds and just started staring off into the distance. (Not like my friend talks that long!) Wtf? So rude... I'm really glad we stopped seeing each other! My other friend mentioned how much this guy bragged about his own (cycling) achievements and exaggerated them when in fact my friend is a superior cyclist to him, but more modest. Sounds like very similar egotistical personalities. -eye roll- What was I thinking?
