....everyone has an 'idea' of who they are...as people, individuals, professionals, husbands, wives, daughters, sisters mothers etc etc...
I have an 'idea' or 'concept' that my knowledge of branding, design & advertising amounts to 'x'. (the x factor) ...at the same time, someone else might think that my knowledge actually amounts to 'c' or 'd' - there being a vaaast gap (in his/her mind) about what i know and what i 'think' i know...to them my opinion of my own knowledge on the subject is a bit exaggerrated...and so i possibly have an 'exaggerated sense of self-worth' as a result of this...
Part of our nature as human beings is to constantly judge and evaluate...and in this judgement and evaluation, we meet a LOT of people with an 'exaggerated sense of self-worth'...
When it comes to work, i've met a few people/companies like this. Being a smaller studio, people seem to think that because i have 'x' number of resources etc etc i should only get paid 'x' amount of money...irrespective of whether they're a 400crore company or not - and that the design solution i provide will benefit them (in terms of ROI) in crores! ...with that being the case, they'll STILL haggle and try and bring down the quoted price...
To him - I have an exaggerrated sense of self-worth! ..no worries...that's part and parcel of business :)
You meet these kind of people outside of work as well...you're most likely to see them arguing with a parking attendant....or shouting at a waiter....or sneering at someone's clothes or looks....lots've people like this...
And it isn't necessarily unfortunate. Sure, we could do without people like this....but the fact remains - it takes all kinds've people to make the world go round and round and round...
Or maybe it's just an invisible alien spinning the world round and round and round...for kicks. Afterall, i don't think many people know what an alien would write in the 'occupation' column of a ration card application form. Why would an alien apply for a ration card? I don't know...just a thought. We all complain about how the neighbours 'must be from another planet!' *grin*
SO...that's my take on people with an exaggerated sense of self-worth'. Incidentlally, i'm pretty sure quite a few people think i suffer from this syndrome...i'd like to think of it as being sure of myself...or confident....then again, people with an 'exaggerated sense of self-worth' - in my mind - are compensating for something....some insecurity....
What could mine be? It's a question...i'm not being arrogant
(then why are you being defensive? are you being defensive? what do you have to hide?)
