Dealing With Overconfiden

Dealing With Overconfident/Arrogant People

I really hope that I'm not the only one with this problem. At school, we have a tetherball thingy, so we play tetherball. I hadn't played before, but 3 days ago during recess, my friend suggested I play. I obliged. I played against her, and she won.

Ok, that's fine. I had done a pretty good job and she said that I was pretty good, for my first time. Then the next recess, I playedwith her again. This time I didn't play as aggresively becasue I had gotten bruises all the way up my arm because of it.

This time? I beat her. She quickly said that she had "gone easy on me" and demanded we play again.

I beat her again. Then she stopped playing.

And today, she played with me again. I beat her 5 out of 7 times. She quickly rushed into how she had twisted her ankle a little, and was off her gameAns while we were playing, she was constantly complaining about how bad I am, and how amazing she is.

Everyone WORSHIPS her because of it. Well guess what?

I have CHRONICALLY sprained ankles, so I am in constant, terrible pain. I broke me foot last week yup, x-rayes and everythig to prove it. And I also got bruised from the ropetwisting around my arm. Why? Because I am horribly farsighted, and if I look above the rim of my glasses, I see two of everyhting, and it's BLURRED.

She has NO EXCUSE to why she couldn't beat me.

She's so arrogant! And if she ever loses anything, she has a million excuses. I get that, but it's obnoxious. AND SHE DOES THIS WITH EVERYTHING.

Bonus points to you for not listing of your problems while shouting in her face. Getting !mad.

That's what I would do. You can calmly explain to her. Ask her to stop. I don't no. I'm tired. Just talks things out.

I'm a little overconfident myself, but not nearly that arrogant. I think you should try to show others your talents and show them how you're better than her.

@ S.E:

Why not? I had an arrogant friend, too. Then I got more! Then I was happy and it all worked out.

I'm an anti-social hermit and hate almost all people.

I used to be very lively whenever I met someone, but I've been isolated from other kids most of my life and I'm startingto spend more and more time alone. It scares me how much I've changed sometimes. Nowadays I'm more likely to get really mad at someone if they offend anything or anyone I love. I especially get mad to democrats and feminists.

@HSG- I go to a school in MA that starts with "H" with a girl that sounds sort of like SE's friend, but I don't think I've ever seen her play tether ball.

I just hate it that so many people are trying to solve minor problems (they have already greatly improved a century ago) and not focusing enough on the bigger ones.

What are the bigger problems? Also, if you think about it, we haven't really come far at all. We aren't really "greatly improved".

Oh, I don't know.. The war in Israel and Iraq? The millions of women and children getting killed? The American dept? WE ARE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEPT. The nuclear weapons and north and south korea? MATTERS THAT CONCERN LIFE AND DEATH?! And yeah, we have improved. Millions of african americans aren't being ortured anymore, women are allowed to vote and have jobs, slavery is over and illegal, everyone(except children) can vote, etc.etc.
