Observation: Re: Character flaws in “SOME” people Conceit and the Fear of Change!!!! Im indifferent to reality shows, but theres one thing about pretty much all of them that I cant stand: the token arrogant %#$%$%@t who thinks he or she is a GIFT UNTO THE WORLD!!!!!!!! I know its a ratings gimmick used to make people tune in to see when this that type of person is finally going to get whats coming to them but it still bothers me. Those arent people -- theyre cartoon characters, and they often MISTRAKE NARCISSISM FOR CONFIDENCE! Yes, there are massive benefits to being confident and self-assured. But without the ability to humble oneself, you just come off as a piece of ^$#$#$% WHO NOBODY WANTS TO BE AROUND!!!! Not to mention that, internally, conceited people give themselves virtually no room for growth because the mind has TRAINED ITSELF TO THINK THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM IS PERFECT!!!!!! Note: by me posting this DOES NOT INDICATE THAT I THINK I AM PERFECT…BECAUSE I A FAR FROM IT!!! And therein lies the problem.. We get so used to thinking of ourselves as complete that we fear changing any part of the formula. I dont think a lot of people view themselves as a constantly evolving organism, always changing until the day they die. I think we hit a certain age and then declare, This is who I am. What you see is what you get. Everything in your life has led up to the current version of you, and if people dont like it, SO BE IT. Im not even talking about full-on mirror-carrying narcissists. The idea that we shouldnt change anything about ourselves for fear of becoming something else is a form of conceit, and most of us harbor that. And once that fear sets in, it embeds itself into you like a leech.
