by showing off and trying to one up her at every opportunity. again this most likely goes back to your drive to compete with other women because your father didn't love you. you're weak, pathetic and have said nothing of any substance, at least not to me. ;)
This line. This line highlighted in bold. I've come back to it many times because I cannot understand it. There are three generations of Cluster B personality disorders in my family; I have an Honours degree in Psychology, and the only people I've heard bleating about competition between women are the borderlines and the histrionics. Now I'm not going to be one of those tards that insists you're a borderline based on this statement alone, but I will gladly admit to not seeing a correlation between teasing a teacher and competing with other girls to try to impress my father. Fact is, there was no competition to speak of. My father - whether he loved me or not, and he probably didn't because he was both a sociopath and a psychopath - taught me that envy - the kind that you espouse here - is the weakest emotion there is. When you shriek about the "competition" between women you hand those women your every insecurity for exploitation. I have never seen such a competition played out in real life. In fact, in high school, I was known as arrogant because I believed that both the males and the females were beneath me (in some situations, albeit the most rare of situations, I still do). So there was no competition to speak of. If I went home and began boasting to my father that I'd made a bunch of hysterics more hysterical, he would have laughed at me. He would have seen me as weak. The way I see you as being weak.
In your next life, trying skipping two grades in primary school and see if your desperate desire to compete with other females recedes.
You were right about something though - this desperation usually arises from conflictual parenting tactics. You, my friend, are projecting again. Did Daddy ignore you, either in favour of the whiskey bottle or his business plans? Do you feel that you will never live up to the expectations of your parents, particularly those of your mother's? Is that why you have come to see women as the enemy?
We aren't your enemy, Sugar. You are. And until you come to terms with that you're going to be stuck in your beige cotton blouse and your loose black skirt, running after the ladies at the office while your waistline thickens and the creases between your eyes don't seem to fade in the mornings after you arise like they used to (that's already happening, isn't it?). You will always be subservient to these women, but not for the reasons you've rationalized. It's not because you're too real for these women. It's not because they're too shallow. No. It's just that you're not strong enough, not exceptional enough, to surpass them and you know this. Your work won't stand on it's own but you can't admit to that, so you've come up with a reason for your failures. In ten years' time, you're still going to be scoffing the dregs of their KFC chips on casual Fridays and at this year's Christmas party you'll surprise everyone by getting waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too drunk on the free cheap booze. And everyone will wonder about that - for about three days. Then they'll forget you ever existed.
Once again.
