Ever get a bit between your teeth? And dismiss it as nothing. He is just pompous and spoilt, a product of his environment. I was about 16 and they said "you are so anti-social" then a female friend chips in "maybe she is just shy." I must admit I have held it against them. But they have not changed much, saying "you know the problem with earning more (than his sis) you have to pay for everything..." I would never boast like that at their age. I have never been the jealous type either. I grew up thinking I would have to work my butt off to get the things I wanted. My mother always wanted to be one of the boys. When I broke it off with my fiancé, she took his side saying "the poor boy must be devastated." And in-front of my brothers girl friend I said, "don't you care if I am happy?"
