Yeah I got a friend like that he believes he is so much smarter than me because he graduated at the top of his class yet he dated a freaking 14 year old freshman in high school he was 18 ( shudders), he thinks he knows a lot about fighting games he just hopped on the scene with sf4 and mvc2 xbla . He thinks he is great but when somebody confronts him on his arrogance he gets angry saying , “I thought you were a true friend man.” This dude is a black guy trying to be so white is not even funny nigga slicked his hair back and shit . Then he posted this really homophobic yet homoerotic video of him and some other friends gay bashing and wrestling. So I cut dude off basically because he doesn’t know who he is or what he wants to be . Oh did I say that this nigga borrows all his money from his parents and never considers getting a job at all nigga is 18 going on 19 smh.
Proactive is a stupid word.
I used to have “friends” like that. Fortunately they are no longer part of my life. They used to say I had no life, etc etc and one of them even went as far as say it when we were at Gamestop in a store full of people. It was all a big joke to them and then when I get pissed and tell them to stop, they get mad at me, and they say they were only joking, after that the cycle repeats itself. If I knew then what I knew now, I would have gone up to their face tell them to shut the fuck up and start breaking some kneecaps.
There was this one guy who tagged along with one of my friends since the High School days and he worked at Gamestop. He’s a loser in every sense of the word but when I went in there to trade in a game and mentioned that I had recently quit my job, this fucker comes all out the woodwork telling me what I should do and acting like he was superior and shit.
The jealousy in this thread is so transparent.
It feels like “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart” in thread form.
Book smarts gets you a better life.
:wtf:
You might wanna rethink that shit
Bullshit. I’m book smart but where in the fuck did that get me? Nowhere. My street smarts enabled me to setup a nice home business making decent money all kinds of different ways and I enjoy freedoms that most “employees” don’t.
“I’m not better than you, I just think different”
Good post.
I want to listen to that song now
There’s a guy in my gaming community who does this BS. He rides on his “high horse” and acts like his shyt doesn’t smell. He has lots of enemies now.
My dad tries to tell me what I should be doing in life, and that’s irritating. If I did everything he ever told me, I would (in my mind at least) be a nobody with no interests. I would be afraid to take risks, and go out and enjoy myself. I can’t really remember any friends that act like this, because I wouldn’t be friends with said people in the first place. The second they tell me what I should do, I put them in their place. My life is NOT for ANYONE to dictate. I will decide what I want to do. So if I enjoy working at a minimum wage job staying in an apartment all my life barely scraping by, then that’s what I’m gonna do (not that I am, but just sayin).
i actually don’t have any friends like this, sounds like a pretty shitty trait to have though.
I don’t have a friend like this, but a former high school classmate instead. He goes to MIT, so I could care less if he does act like he’s better. We just let him say what he wants. I don’t let it get to me.
nah i dont have any friends like that. they all know im better than them.
Yo…that random ass colon is annoying the fuck out of me.
Book smarts aren’t shit when it comes to Charisma and getting along with people. I rather have someone who has average intellect but is easier to get along with and can work with other people then some social reject who can memorize a book but is socially retarded. Book smarts don’t always work when it comes to getting a job and can actually negatively impact you in some cases.
I’m one of those “friends” for one guy.
It is not intentional, but in some life aspects my behavior over him is like that way.
I don’t give a shit anyway.
If you don’t want your friends saying they are better than you, be better than them.
It’s never come up. My friends are all smart enough not to believe in me.
And to the OP, if the guy brings it up again just say, “Look, man. You’re short. Your only hope in life is to be funny. That’s the only reason anyone will ever listen to you. So stop trying to prop yourself up socially. It doesn’t make you any taller.”
He won’t like hearing this, so he’ll probably go buy the biggest SUV available to make himself feel better, and then get a speeding ticket.
Did I just read this right? Did the topic state “Friends who Act like they are better than you”, isn’t that an oxymoron? >_>
I don’t hang out with douche bags that think they’re better than me and actively restate such. Although, I do have friends who have friends that think they are better than me. But I make an effort to ignore them when they are around me cuz I don’t wanna deal with b1tches.
