Wow isn't that a loaded question!!! There are lots of why's when it comes to the human race. Sometimes...why ask why!! If ppl do not want to listen to you and ignore you...then quite frankly....their loss. I believe you have a ton of great information....and the third person thing....its your thing.
My very intelligent hubby says (usually when I am appalled at a soccer Mom talking crap)...that some ppl are "lacking things" in their life. They are not happy with themselves and their life therefore they have to complain or just overall be mean to others to makes themselves feel better. (ok so that is the PG version)...he actually says either they are not having enough nookie or just not good enough, not enough money or house not big enough....yada yada. Basically in short....IT'S THEM. So why bother to ask why. Though I have to admitt when ppl treat me like that .....it really does bug me.
I would like to add to the "book" I just wrote....I don't think BG has a huge ego...I think he just plays one on BP. I personally cannot wait to meet you someday!!
