How do you deal with/get over, <span title="pretentious/egotistic/s****.">pretentious/egotistic/sno...</span> people, and all the BS in society?

Question

It's everywhere, and it's annoying because people take their snobbery so seriously, and take life so seriously. Like, "OMIGOSH I work at Chanel so I must feel entitled and hot, or OMG im an ed hardy model, omg omg," and they freak out over it, when I just walk by them not caring, they glare at me as to say "how dare you not appreciate, don't you know who we are, what this is?" etc etc.

To me, it's absolutely riduclous. People are so ****** up!

Why take any of that, or anything in society so seriously?

It doesn't make anyone happy, it just makes you think you have to live up to certain things.

Anyways, since many pepole especially girls are so uber pretentious, egotistic, and can be s****., especially if you go to upper scale locations, and all of this BS just runs rampant,

where you're GOING to get judged, and treated like ****,

how does one deal with it effectively?

My approach has literally been, not caring at all, and just keeping true to myself, however,

all that does to "THEM" is confuse them and irritate them, b/c they expect you to I don't know, bow down to their ,....delusions really.

Can rich people, and wannabees, and all those ego centric maniacs ever get over themselves?

What does one do!? jeesh.

Answer 1

Oh My!!! I feel the same way you do at times... I just deal with them, its sometimes hard, but you have to have the &quot;You will not affect me&quot; approach to them... You are still going to be you at the end of the day &amp; they are still going to be them... I know my answer stinks, just trying to help you get through it!

Answer 2

Why do you need them to get over themselves? Let dead bury their dead.

If you ever need something from them badly enough, then it makes sense playing into their hands for a while. Otherwise, why bother about them at all? It&#039;s their problem, not yours.  

Answer 3

Put yourselves in their shoes.  If you were them, maybe you would act that way.  Or, maybe not.  Just think about.  And, as a whole,don&#039;t obsess about anythingespeciallyly girls.  

Answer 4

I intend no offense here, but it seems to me that you wouldn&#039;t be upset if you really did not care.

it sounds like what you  want is something you can say to these people to indicate your feelings of disgust. Something to embarrass them and make them change.

I&#039;m sorry, but there aren&#039;t magic words or actions that will make them see themselves as you see them.

Answer 5

well you can think of it this way - they are giving you an example of how NOT to be. ever.

Answer 6

i smoke pot and drink beers

Answer 7

PUT A BANNANA IN YOUR EAR!

Answer 8

You can&#039;t change other people, all you can do is change the way YOU react to these people.  Just don&#039;t let it bother you.  Those people are annoying but just roll your eyes and don&#039;t dwell on it so much.

Answer 9

Hate to tell you this, but you are taking this far too serious! Just like you said.

You are right, though. Just ignore them. That&#039;s the worst thing you could do to them. They do anything they can for any kind of attention, good or bad. Like a 2 year old who draws on the walls to get any attention they can.

They won&#039;t know true happiness until/unless they learn to be real. As a matter of fact, they won&#039;t know true anything. Just have satisfaction in knowing you are at least a real person.

EDIT: I&#039;m no &quot;bible thumper&quot; but these verses have always made me feel better. Look it up and see what you think: Isaiah 3 16 and the next few.

Answer 10

Ignore, the snobs of ******!

They&#039;re just who they are. It must be really hard for you but just try.

Answer 11

be urself...or sit in ur closet and cry urself to sleep like i do :)

Answer 12

Your taking things to serious. The heck with them. You need to find happiness within. PS most girls that seem that s****. are usually not, they seem unapproachable, because they are uncomfortable with themselves and sometimes they feel that people won&#039;t look past their looks and like the real person in them and then of course some are just shallow idiots....

you need to not worry about that. if you are confidant an you work on doing something really well in your like, like a sport, music, your job or whatever. you will see how people will gravitate to you.

then the s****. crappy ones will seem to disappear in life. find yourself. breath in, relax and find your destiny in life. let it be giving back to an empty, lonely society with kindness, art, music or whatever it is you like without harboring ill will to others.

good luck, been there, done that.  

Answer 13

they love attention, if you ignore them that would just probably ruin their whole day. ;)

Answer 14

Answer 15

Don&#039;t focus on it... gets you nowhere but upset.
