Hi Lotty,
What a fascinating idea. Thanks for sharing it with us! I believe that our degrading society is responsible for a lot of Nish behavior. If people stood up and told N's that their selfishness is unacceptable I don't think we would be in these positions today. Things like right and wrong, morals, ethics, responsibility and shame are virtually gone in today's society. Instead what is valued is first impressions, win at all costs, and "I'm Ok. Your Ok." BS...
Noone ever sat these Ns down and taught them that they aren't the center of the universe... Or that selfishness is a sin...Or that taking all you can suck out of a person without giving back is wrong. Yep, we live in a "can't be held accountable for their actions" sort of world and have been for decades.
Now, I know myxn is very 'intelligent' by a lot of standards, but you are right..he is stupid. He can't see the looks ppl give him (or me when I was with him) when he would start to ramble on and on about how hard he worked, what a good guy he was, how he is different from other ppl...
And he would talk about things like this to almost anyone. I think he just liked the sound of his own voice. I got to where I would cringe when he would engage someone in public because I knew the stares he would get and I'd be embarrassed for him. He never saw it, never got it. He was completely stupid about the effect his brags would have on other people. He might have been 'fact' smart but he was desperately socially stupid.
Until you posted that I hadn't every thought of him and stupidity in the same sentence. I do believe you nailed it, though.
Really great post,
ty
