Overcompensation. That was the topic of today's conversation. Most people are guilty of it at one point in their lives. However, there are offenders. Nothing irks me more then indivduals that make their hapeenings of their lives so grand to make other people feel like shit. Realistically, I know why people do it. Overcompensation. I know your life is not that great right now. You may be broke, stressed or just plain old pissed off at the cards the world has dealt you. However, since I perceive my life as better than yours, im going to make you feel like shit and just talk about how great my life is so that you can feel bad that your life is not on the up and up. Chances are, if you are bragging and pointing of every detail of your miserable exsistence then its likely you are overcompensating for something that you are lacking. Overcompensation 1. Is Inappropriate 2. Its not cute. It is one thing to share the details of the happenings of your life, its another to state them in a way in which you know may offend the listeners ears. I.E. Telling is one thing.........Bragging is another. Sometimes it pays to just shut up. The shoe can always switch feet and im pretty sure if it does you would not like to be on the receiving end.
On the up and up I had some banging ass food from my homies aunts house out in Oxford, NC. The best homecooked meal since Christmas :).
