Showy much?

Have you ever met people who just loves to show off but doesnt show off?get it?like they want to show off but they dont do it directly.they don't say 'hey ! look at my new cool phone'.instead they took pictures with their phone held out as if they cant bend their arms or post pictures with their phone 'oh so casually' beside them.Thats just an example to let you understand the concept.haha.wouldn't it be easier for them to just show off without all the 'ops!i didnt mean to' tactics?and downright less annoying too.right?In my 19 years of life..i've only met one.i think.Meeting this kind of people made me think,why do people show off?why do they feel the need to flash their stuffs? is to fit in ? to be awed upon ? or just plain insecurity ? or is it to cover the fact that they are not as rich as they look ? oh okay cancel that point.if they're not rich how can they afford the expensive stuffs.So i did a bit of studying(i knw right?takde keje gila.ala its only one click away.haha) and after reading a few articles,this is my conclusion.

In short, the following is the truth about showy people:

  • The feel they aren’t noticed or recognized: Showy people believe that they didn’t get the attention they deserve and so they show off to send one clear message
  • "I am here, please notice me". So actually a showy person is begging you to notice him while you might be begging him to accept you!!
  • They care about people’s opinion: To some people the opinion of others doesn’t matter that much and doesn’t have a significant impact on their happiness. To showy people it’s the opposite, the opinion of others is the most important thing and if they failed to let others like them they might feel really bad
  • Some of them believe that people are underestimating them: because of believing that people are underestimating them showy people do their best to show off their best traits to prove that they are worthy!
So for all the people out there,if you hve a showy friend,you don't have to feel less accomplished or irritated.sometimes i also cant help it you knw.like when your friend get good grades,you should feel happy for them.But bcoz tht friend is a 'showy' u can't help feeling annoyed.haha.but that is going to change from now on!contrary to common beliefs,show offs are the ones who are in need of your attention.If the showy person matters to you then give him attention and he will like you and if he doesn’t matter to you then simply ignore him.It won't only make you feel better,but also make your life your life easier as you'll have one less people to loathe.Like my aunt said,'See friendliness in everyone. Change the way we look at things and the things we look at will change.'

Peace out;
