Honey, do my ankles look swollen in these shoes?
Honey, can you tell me one more painstaking time, that you love me?
Is this blog about me?
Honey, am I retaining water?

I bet you think this spells insecurity don't you?
                                                                                            NOPE, wrong.

These types of people only suffer from MILD insecurity.  Do you want to know what the biggest dead give away clue, that tells you beyond a shadow of a doubt, if  another has confidence issues?

IT'S ARROGANCE

The best kept psychology secret of all time is about to be revealed to you.

Those people that are open about their issues and are transparent about them, suffer less intensely. The people that try and hide/coverup their inner feelings, suffer more profoundly.

Nothing spells "coverup" better than overinflated arrogance.

Those people that tell you how great and wonderful they are, how much money they have to burn, how much smarter they are than you, or any number of things, is a reflection they aren't secure within themselves.

I feel sad for arrogant types, they are usually proud of themselves. They champion it, as if they were showcasing for fluttering hearts. Often, they are unaware that they are only showcasing their insecurity.

Truly confident people don't bragg, because they don't need to, the feeling of security is OWNED. Insecurity is a simple formula: the more we bragg or try to prove ourselves, the deeper our insecurities. Anykind of showcasing is a sign of deep insecurity.

In my humble opinion,  I feel the main reason why many choose to drive fancy expensive sports cars, is to counter feelings of insecurity and to gain the winning approval and admiration of others. In fact, many millionaires, drive average economy cars! Even more interesting, is that they are often used! They are frugal, don't care to display high social status, and live below their means. 

Check out this amazing report that verifies my findings.

A Poker Scenerio:

If your competition braggs, and puts other people down, you have nothing to be concerned about, they are trying to win with a two and seven off suit, even what comes up in the "flop" won't save them.
 
IF your competition is genuinely quiet, kind, and secure, then be rest assured they have "pocket aces", with two more aces coming in the "flop".

Want to know a winning Jedi Master mind trick to use against all your foes?

If you are competing with someone for a job, and you are clearly the underdog, and the only way you will win is if your competition"folds", then listen up.  Be quiet, calm, assured,  and give your competition the impression you KNOW something they don't, and what you know guarantees that you are getting the job.  If you are believable, your competition will self destruct.

That's my spiel for today, folks
