Why do some people make you feel inadequate??

katek this has just appeared on my FB feed

bags I could, but I won't. However, it would be complimentary.

Same as absent, except that I probably should admit to having the problem of dismissing such moral superiority as stupid and therefore inferior to the open-minded approach to life I try to adopt.

What does that make me?

DON'T ANSWER THAT!!!!

I don't have a problem about people who think they are morally superior unless I genuinely believe they are – and even then, I don't have a problem.

I know what you mean Kate! Years ago I started a thread asking who, in their lives, made them feel inadequate. For me it's my mum and my exsister in law, both of whom don't mince their words when it comes to pointing out my very many failings!

(X'd posts going on)
I'm perfectly sure lots of people with these behavioural traits are perfectly lovely and very genuine people. The one I know quite def thinks they are morally superior to those around them-not just me, others feel the same.

Katek

You could be describing my brother's in-laws Katek and you couldn't meet two nicer people.

Each to their own.

I'm sure they aren't Jane, each to their own, but it's that slight air of moral superiority that gets to me I think.

Thank goodness it's not just me then! The shoes have hardly been off! They were meant for our hols in September but I couldn't wait.

Perhaps they're just pleasing themselves Katek and why shouldn't they?
I don't suppose they do any of those things with the intention of making you or anyone else feel inadequate.

I'm definitely not guilty there Katek. How are the shoes going btw ?
