Observing others egos

Hi there,,

I am sort of new to NoFap, like this time I feel very much committed to this than ever before. Something that is bothering me is that there’s a group I am apart of in Discord that is all about this journey.
There is one guy in particular on it who is always trying to say how great he is on his journey. Told me that I will get onto his level eventually, blah blah. Like he just is always making everything about himself. It’s really frustrating and it makes me think that he isn’t doing as good as what he’s projecting out there.

Anyone deal with people like this or have been there before?

thank you, happy new years.

 

I am not sure is he’s a narcissist by any means but he has a lot of pride for sure. Thank you for the reply and it’s good to know that there’s people on this journey whom are full of themselves. The sad thing is about this guy is I don’t even think he sees this in himself, but he’s always saying how much he meditates everyday too hahaha. Funny he hasn’t noticed yet.

 

Mm yes I know what you mean. That’s really good, I hope to make quality friends this coming year ahead. I am glad you found friends that are of good quality.

 

Thank you so much, you are so very right. I really shouldn’t let people get on my nerves ever. Abstaining is no joke, it’s been very emotional - I made this post to vent a tad. Now I don’t see the point, cannot let people with big egos/streaks; make me feel small. Thank you, I’m happy to be here.

 

Thank you all so much for these very helpful comments, I appreciate them all loads. Happy New Years everyone!

 

Absolutely, these are very wise words. Thanks a ton! Sometimes even when I talk about things that I do with others who ask me about certain things. I too will feel like I’m praising myself for doing something different than everyone else. It can make me feel like I am trying to sound better but I really don’t feel that way in my heart. This came to mind last night, my family was talking about wanting to go on a diet (a lot of family should go on diet) and I mentioned about sugar is a huge thing I do my best in avoiding. I just felt in a way as bragging and I felt kinda weird about it but then I also just kept in mind my heart was in a good place for giving some suggestions to try and help.

I hope this shame you feel is just a memory and not something that impacts you in day to day life or anything.

Anyways the latest thing he bragged about was how a girl was all over him at this New Years party and how he turned her down because he has “better things to do” hahaha. I found this pretty telling and funny. Especially he even said before party that he was not interested in her. I think the better thing to do was to just not give her an impression that she had a chance with him..
