I'm talking about one-upping every single story that is put out there. And if you broke your ankle on your biking trip, they would have broken their ankle, their hip and their neck :- There is simply no end to their bragging!

And now my mom is going through somewhat they call Mid-life Crisis and that sometimes makes her lash out on me or my dad. It was so perfect. With some level of empathy to their insecurity, you can honestly fill them in on the effect of their one-upmanship and that they should be confident enough in themselves not to resort to such behavior.

Welcome home, introvert.

You know what I'm talking about. The one-upper that absolutely has to outdo you or someone else every time there's a story. For example, suppose I say yesterday I tripped and fell flat on my face. I recently met up with an old friend of mine. She happened to have a friend over. Man, this friend of hers was such a one-upper. Everything always ended up with her being a step above. Just curious if you guys think one-uppers are aware that they are one-uppers and are really annoying? They know they're one-upping, yes. Do they know it's annoying? They probably just think they're impressing you. I have a friend who is exactly like this, LOL. We all just take whatever she says with a grain of salt. It's got to be insecurity, or at least I can't see what else it could possibly be. I have a feeling I might be this way sometimes, but I'm not sure. Its hard for me to admit to insecurities or inferiorities, because I feel like if I do, its like I'm a doormat laying myself down inviting people to walk all over me. I've already been abused quite a lot in my life, and so I feel like I need to present an appearance of being strong and confident and competent, or people will take advantage of me and abuse me even more. I suppose others may interpret this as oneupmanship. I try to make an effort not to, because I agree, its annoying. I have a feeling I might be this way sometimes, but I'm not sure.

I suppose others may interpret this as oneupmanship. I try to make an effort not to, because I agree, its annoying. At least you're somewhat aware of it. But why treat someone else as a doormat just because it's been done to you? Tell them a story about someone else 'one-upping' everything that is said in a conversation... If they do, they probably aren't aware of their own tendency in this area. If they suddenly go silent, you have probably hit on something they are aware of --- and are trying to change. I am someone who struggles with conversation and small talk due to shyness and often shut down around others because I can't think of what to say. I take my cues from the other person in the conversation and follow their lead, mainly due to insecurity. Which is not what I want to do at all. I just have a fear of being seen as boring and feel it's my way to contribute to the conversation. I do ask people questions about themselves too but don't want to pry or interrogate too much so I tend to turn back to myself. Sometimes I was actually trying to make the other person feel better or to express empathy that way.

This desire to always be right diminishes others, making them feel insignificant and stupid. Lisa Firestone for a Webinar on As you sweat through this tough but very worthy transition, it is servile to practice self-compassion. But it's things I've grown out of and work not to do as part of working on myself. My insecurity affected my passion to dance to the point i thought that i was never meant to be a dancer because of my body proportion. Ring a child being yelled at by a parent. Like a mean coach, this voice tends to get louder as we get closer to our goals. I plan on writing another take about my insecurities and how I've grown through them, and the new ones I face. I have my own north business and my partner is one uppers are insecure manager. Being insecure is perfectly okay and human.
