...it also sounds like a gateway to becoming a self centered b!tch (I am not directing this at you personally, btw). I could easily see myself falling into that role if I stopped caring about what others thought. It also seems like a easy way for me to become complacent and lazy and not ever try to better myself. Just my personal view on that. :/
I could see how this might work for certain people, but I'm very misanthropic and I have a bit of a sadistic streak. Left unchecked, that wouldn't be good. j/s
