Everyone i know has too high of an opinion of themselves.

I think it comes from that, "my child can do no wrong" and constant coddling of parents to avoid damaging the little one's self esteem...

This generation has been utterly and completely spoiled. They've been taught to always feel good about themselves, so they never think they have to improve in any areas of their life. Girls are especially annoying; they have an unbearable sense of entitlement.

hahahaha. I always seem to meet girls who think they are amazing in one sense or another. it's pretty pathetic especially when they talk shit on guys who aren't perfect. these two UGLY ASS girls were talking about some guy they go to school with basically mocking him because he has HAIR ON HIS STOMACH. it was in my driving school.....I literally wanted to hit both of them repeatedly.

Wow, you must be from the same area I am. Everyone has a completely obtuse and surreal view of who they are. i.e: lower Alabama

Say it enough and it makes it true... right?

People who believe that they are "All That" can be really annoying to those of us who actually Are.

OMB ;)

I've never really had a good self-esteem since grade 3 when I realized social standing dominates everything. I eventually ended up gaining weight because I ate when I got bored.

I know a few people like that. They think that they are somehow higher than the rest of us, but nobody agrees with them, in which case they'll go tell another person- who will listen- about how great they think they are.

More love, less negativity.

I think it's great if someone loves themselves and has grand dreams of their future. Oh, the power to dream!

Let them be.

...there are other people? Id never noticed

I can't stand it when people constantly criticize others. I had this friend and she always had SOMETHING bad to say about everybody. Being happy and confident with yourself is okay. Acceptance. Self esteem comes from realizing that maybe you aren't a perfect 10, but you aren't ugly and you're okay. Being a perfect 10 isn't going to make you any happier. Being the smartest person in the world isn't going to guarantee a life surrounded by people you love and care about. I've begun to realize since going to college that when you are prettier and smarter than everybody, it's lonely at the top. Why are we always so obsessed with being the best? I kind of like being able to relate to others as opposed to secretly competing.

Most people are really insecure. Some just say those things cuz they figure if they keep sayin it they'll finally start to believe it. I'd say those people aren't normal.

yeah, that is such b.s. every little teeny bopper taking a million pictures of themselves and posting them on the internet and expecting people to worship them and thinking they are so amazing looking.

get over yourself!!

though this is less common, many young people today have very little self esteem, as i can say from experience. i hated myself and hated the way i looked and developed an eating disorder... now im working on accepting myself and loving myself for who i am.

OMG!!!! you just explained my bestfreind!!!

It's normal, but that doesn't mean it's societally healthy. But there are also lots of people with the opposite sense of themselves. It's rare to come by someone who has a completely realistic idea of themselves ...

PaychoNikki, you sound very angry. I bet if you were more attractive and intelligent you wouldn't be so angry.

Egotistical behavior? You're joking right? I have a question for you. What makes you the all superior judge of all these people? From what it sounds like you are the one with a high opinion of yourself or you wouldn't be judging these other people.
