Young man...

Just be yourself.

All you have to do is turn on you inner confidence.

It's in there somewhere.

Sit down with yourself, quietly, in a comfortable chair...

and seek.

I don't get jealous about someones success and achievements. IF the guy made a million last week on Wall Street, cool for him. Tell me how you got that knowledge to do it and was it just luck? I get interested in things like that. Oh, you just bought a Corvette. Cool, what did you get on it? How do you like it? The guy who gets p*ssed and jealous because he drives a Caviler has issues. Maybe that's why wealthy people come up to me and just start spilling their life history at random with me. I'm not the type to ridicule them or snub them. I want to hear about it.
Interesting post.

Since you aren't a a$$ about it, wanna take it for a spin? Sure! Sometimes people make you feel so guilty about what you earned or have and you are half afraid to even say anything about.

When you walk in on somebody doing something, tell them how your way of doing it is superior and tell them why. Iinstruct them on how you do it. Then correct people on their piddly mistakes. Then tell them how disappointed you are in your successful life when theirs obviously sucks more. Or complain about your flat abs around people who are flabby. People will take this to be conceited behavior. I used to think this was normal behavior but now I know just how conceited I have been. I thought I was just stating facts. But average people just can't handle superior standards.

no, they just don't care to "handle" douchey behavior

I mean really, complaining about one's own "flat abs"? Really? That's not even douchey at that point, it just makes you sound like an angst-filled teenager with body image issues.

Here's something to think about. When a person is conceited, we say he is "full of himself." Wouldn't you rather be full of something more meaningful, like "full of knowledge" or "full of kindness" or "full of fun"? Being full of yourself is nothing if your "self" has no substance.

This thread makes me laugh....I would also tell you what I think you are "full of", but I might get in trouble.

^^^ Excellent and would be great if Texas took your advice.

I know there are men out there who are like that. Please share.
the best way for you to improve or increase your level of conceit is by sniffing dogs asses. every time you see a dog get on your knees and sniff it's ass. people will be impressed and every time you sniff an ass your conceit level will increase by .5%. try it.
