It's one thing to be proud of something you've accomplished.
It's another thing to be so concerned with asserting your imagined superiority that you ALWAYS mention it within n minutes of talking to someone (where ALWAYS is some significant percentage > 90, and n is some integer less than 4).
If you're so jealous of someone that you can't stand to interact with them for more than a couple minutes without trying to make yourself feel better, then you're probably better off not hanging out with them.
I really hate when it starts to feel like people see interactions as nothing besides competitions. Believe it or not, there's actually such a thing as having friendships for the sake of friendship. There's something seriously wrong if you're not comfortable around people unless you're convinced that you're better than them.

hmmm....continuation from the last post huh? that annoys me too. sometimes i end up talking about myself but it is only because i'm try to i guess show that i can relate to what we're talking about. i'm not meaning to be selfish with it.
it would be rather amusing to say something "better" than them after the person just did it. but i can be spiteful sometimes. lol :-p
