It might seem contradictory, But I know exactly how flawed I am in every aspect; I am well aware of my fat thighs and cellulite, personality flaws (actually a long list if I had to mention them) and that my question sounds completely narcissistic. ...But I still think I'm perfect, and not in a huggy-cuddly-everyone-is-special kinda way. Is my ego just too big?

I'm currenty in a crazy position concerning a break up (that happened 6 months ago and has no hope of being undone). I was fine until last week when we accidentally ran into each other and had bit of a laugh. The relationship was good (we had one [rather big] fight and the end just came up out of nowhere), I thought this would make it less crazy, but yeah. I was just wondering if this could have something to do with me being all cocky. I'm usually confident, but I don't acknowledge it to myself or publically (something I'm clearly in violation of)

    I think that when a woman is a bit cocky, and comfortable enough with her body to still be critical towards her flaws is a very good thing. To me it means that you are able to realistically and logically assess yourself, which seems pretty difficult for a lot of women.

    However, judging by your story you also have a heightened sense of self-intitlement which makes you feel like you have the right to be with your ex (or whoever else) if you find that it is right.

    With this in mind I would advise you to consider that even though you yourself might feel that something should be a certain way, others might simply not agree with you, and no matter how confident or elegant you are you will probably not be able to change their mind anyway.

      Lol- Thanks. That second paragraph made me sound a little psycho HAHAHA! But I think you're right. I'm more over him now than I was writing this post, so I think I have a bit more perspective. Gotta watch out for Ego though :? Anyway. Nice job on the post

    Adler says: you are the youngest child with a sense of entitlement.

    I am the same way. I think my boyfriend should worship me because i am the perfect girlfriend and it is only when he refuses to put me on a pedestal that i act imperfectly. Never mind that I get irritable, easily distracted, block out half of what he says, drink all of his tea and don't spend enough time with him. I still feel rather perfect. Could be a sense of entitlement, could be narcissism. Who knows?
