and are still struggling to get anywhere and still have a big ego
I envy it.
It's pretty easy, all you gotta do is focus on what you "could" be, and judge others for their shortcomings. Comparing those two will always have you come out on top
oh yeah. "I am writing a book". "I will be a scientist one day". You can be a loser and still feel proud of yourself with all these deferred achievements. "One day" people amuse me. I wish there were more people who actually made something of themselves around.
That allows people to feel better because they can run away from their problems. I'm always so disappointed when I see people who never get anywhere in life, all the while bragging how they're going to be the next A and B. Some part of me, just small part of myself really, genuinely wishes they made it... But they never do, do they? They just sit on their ass and do nothing.
But not me. I am going to be great.
you're lucky you're cute
It's the general fallacy in many people, the one you describe.
"If i wanted i would had done it, and yes in 99.99999% of the cases, it's a cope of spoiled idiots.
Not trying to say that i belong in the 00.00001%, but i could had been in a very high college, i had the chance and the grades to support it-i refer to actions and results, not my "thoughts". But given emotional instability i didn't.
Despite that i am building something that can provide me with a high income, and perhaps chances for the highest amounts of educations with actions, and if i succeed i will be able to say that "huge ego" and have an actual result to present to myself firstly.
Now about the people who do it, in most cases they don't even really think, they just find the negative shortcomings of someone and they over-refer to them, meanwhile ignoring their own completely, meanwhile they can actually be far worse even in the subject they judge the person about.
That's in most cases what's happening, or reverse psychology"i suck too much so i will delude myself i rock too much".
But in rare cases, very very rare cases, it actually might be the real deal, someone who has the potential and intellectual ability to achieve elite levels, but lacking the emotional motivation or discipline to do it.
I doubt that any of the people you refer to are one of these cases though.
