Making someones head even bigger than it was before

Question

Do you find this annoying?

You see someone who is highly conceited, full of themselves, love the way they look. (but pretend not to) And someone goes and continues to compliment them, over and over again. So their head gets EVEN bigger.

And your like "For GOD sake, as if she needs this!?!" I have a "friend" of which the situation I am explaining. She is nothing special to be honest, but this is what happens. Its starting to annoy me and I'm starting to dislike her.

Answer 1

I think that you are jealous of her receiving all the attention.  You call her nothing special, that all the attention is starting to annoy you, etc.  I feel that examining your own motives for not wishing her to get attention reveals more about what's going on with you than what's going on with her.

You say she is highly concieted and full of herself, but that she is nothing special.  Perhaps you want to be like her, popular and getting lots of attention. You sound like you resent being in her shadow.

If she is that threatening to your self esteem, then you do need to distance yourself from her until you have the obsession with her under control.

Yes I have been there, a very long time ago.  She is an irritant to you, but she is just being herself- and others see her as all that and a bag of chips.

Obviously you are full of anger, resentment and jealousy.  While I have been there myself, the only cure for it is to back off and look for other friends.  True story.

Answer 2

"Most people who act that way are actually masking insecurity. They're on the offensive all the time, acting like they are great, because they are so afraid that they ARE NOT great. People who are truly secure don't need to act like that. They are secure so they can spare more cognitive energy to focus on other things like helping other people, hobbies and interests, etc."

I think she may have a low self esteem and has to have ppl always reassure her.....

Answer 3

Then dont be friends with her anymore, let her know she is bothering you because all she cares abotu is herself, people who are conceited usually dont seem to care about anyone but themselves, and personally id rather not be in contact with someone who is like that.

Doesn't seem liek she would give much support to you as a friend if she is constantly looking in the mirror and such.

and let the person compliment her, just because they do doesn't mean everyone else thinks she is the greatest thing.

otherwise wouldn't she be famous by now ever think of that.
