Message:: [QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1675094, member: 41665"]I usually don't "get" people, but witnessed this (relatively rare) type a few times before. We're not talking accidental thoughtlessness or hasty misunderstandings, here. Like a wealthy klepto woman or attention-seeking hypochondriac, this is a mundane (sociopathic?) form of unprincipled narcissism exhibiting some combination of shamelessness, magical thinking, arrogance, envy, entitlement, exploitation, and bad boundaries. Simply, these jerks routinely cut in line, walk all over others, drive like a maniac, triple-dip a scarce shared resource, etc. Why? Because that works for them, to put others down. It's "complex" because in most examples you'd have to explain it to call it, and folks don't want to even think about motives (theirs or others) much less ennumerate or study behavior patterns. "Does everyone know what a shameless narcissist you are?" might be the best thing to say to egregious offenders, on the spot. Honesty is the best policy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
