Their Words Tattooed in His Veins

Pretentious: claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified. (from the American Heritage Dictionary)

If I could only name one thing that I can't stand about the human race it would be the pretentiousness that some people carry around with them. I would rather deal with someone who is a hypocrite than deal with someone who is pretentious....now that's a scary thought cause I also can't stand hypocrites either. But that's a whole other blog post.

I can't stand how pretentious people constantly need to prove themselves over and over again. If you so good than why do you have to prove it? I can't stand how pretentious people walk around with sticks up their butts, with their noses raised in the air acting as if they are above you? If you're already above a person, you're pretty low to rub it in one's face, don't you think? And I hate how pretentious people need to degrade others...all the time! If you're so secure about yourself, than why do you need to put down someone else? Maybe because of your own shortcomings and weaknesses?! And I certainly can't stand how pretentious people constantly feel the need to "correct" someone when they don't agree? If you think so highly of yourself and your opinions why do you need to keep reminding everyone? Is it because you need to remind yourself? To be your own cheerleader? Because people don't like pretentious people?

So a small piece of advice to the pretentious: GET OVER YOURSELVES! You're not that important to everyone who is in your presence. And if you don't get over it, I hope someone puts you in your place...I hope that someone is me! It would be my pleasure!
