Egotistical vs. Self-Confidence

Marissa Alessandria-Kweens 2007

Being Egotistical and Self-Confident have nothing to do with one another or as my best friend put it Self-Absorbed. I see many young woman and men for that matter today that have this concept totally confused to the point of it becoming a joke. Your browse My Space Groups and you will find these perfection groups proclaiming whether or not you are good enough to join their groups, and anyone who has Photoshop and a bucket of make-up can make it in, it also helps if you all have the same smirk, make up and hair as well normally half covering your face and some tight little outfit on.

They truly think that they are so confident in their looks, personality and all else that matters in this world when some of them haven’t even lived long enough to gather such confidence. Come to their profiles on Myspace and you will find quotes like the following:

Im xxx-i live in PHXXX ARIZONA-BUT IM FROM 714 CALIFORNIA-I DRAW-I WRITE-I PLAY GUITAR-I CAN DO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING-IM JUST THAT GOOD-SO DONT BOTHER ARGUING WITH ME-CUZ YOULL LOSE- :]

IM RUDE

I DONT CARE MOST OF THE TIME

Those are just two but many, many more exist on myspace and in real life as well, if you don’t like them or tell them off, its because you are jealous, fat and ugly and don’t have a life not that they are a self-absorbed person who wouldn’t care if you dropped off the face of the earth. Even sadder is that they truly believe that they are self-confident and better than everyone else. We can blame the media but only so much it seems the more outrageous the behaviour of individuals the more attention it gathers. It’s fashionable to have been in rehab before you are even 21 years old and slept with everyone and their mother and don’t forget girls everyone is SUPPOSED to know what your private parts look like at all time. Some parents simply just give and give and never teach their children the value of earning something, it is why we have self-entitled princesses at the age of 15 throwing a tantrum because Mommy not only bought her the wrong Lexus for her birthday but gave it to her on the wrong day. See below:



Self-Confident people do the right thing even when everyone turns against them, they will say what they feel even if there will be a disagreement because of it, and they also will not be so mean spirited to hurt someone’s feelings purposely just cause they can. They don’t need such things to make them feel good. Self-Confidence is much more than pretty hair, clothes or who has more money. Some will say they are just kids and will out grow of such nonsense, however, you might wake up one day and realize your child is Paris Hilton still crying for her mommy to bail her out when she is already a 27 year old woman. Let’s pray for no more Paris’ and her little dogs and the two words of “That’s Hot”.

That is all…
