When someone's being boastful to you just because they're ahead of something over you? (example: they already got a work and you haven't yet). How do you react??
I let them be. People like that could only affect me if I let them affect me or if I am not contented with what I have. I am mostly contented with myself and my accomplishments so it doesnt really bother me.
This question is similar in nature to one you posted about old people last week. At least, I think the old people question was written by you...😉
As you've noticed, there are people in this world who try to make themselves feel better about themselves by trying to make you feel worse about YOURself.
For me, it was a long road arriving at that realization. Now that I know what these insecure people are actually doing, they look ridiculous to me. I watch them play out their little, "I'm better than you are," games and they look like clowns.
