Somehow, I'm not sure it matters

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
But then again, I also think that I'm better than a lot of people.

I mean, we are all going to be "better" or "worse" than other people no matter if we THINK it or not. Maybe the difference between being better than someone and thinking you're better than someone is just the vocalization of it. Perhaps the ones who vocalize are just douchebags. Hehheh..

Also, LJ seems to have gone all lovely dovey heartsy all of a sudden. Just thought I'd mention that since it happened as I went to post a comment on your page. Sorta caught me off guard. hah.

PS- Are you seriously in Costa Rica now? Or am I just misinterpreting what you said? Salsa is fun-- I learned a few moves myself last semester. =P

No, I'm going to Costa Rica at the end of February.

The only difference I can see between thinking that one is better than another person and vocalizing it is that one act is private, and the other is public. I'm thinking about writing my feelings on the idea of the public versus the private, but is there REALLY a difference in this case between vocalizing and thinking this thing?

Is there a difference between a braggart and someone who is modest if they've both accomplished the same thing? I think so.

Ever heard of false modesty? What makes modesty false, if not the inner belief that the modesty one displays is not a true reflection of one's ability?
