Pretentiousness ..

As my husband and I visited our attorney's office to sign paperwork, an asset list became a topic.  The word "pretentious" came to mind.  Of course, the dictionary defines pretentious as "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed".  Interesting!

Some people while interacting with others project false, overwhelming, and exaggerating behavioral pattern of excessive emotional attachment and attempt to get attention in strange and unusual ways.  They can be overly touchy and minor situations can cause wild swings in their emotions. They can pose such behavior during times of extreme stress when presented with having to be responsible or accountable for negative behavior.  In reading an article about persons who exaggerate, the following became apparent; "exaggerated, shallow emotions,anger, boredom, hysteria, sadness, jealousy, disappointment, fear, boredom, overly dramatic, reactive and intensely expressed behavior, strident and superficial emotionality, emotional storms, constant attention-seeking, sexually seductive behavior, emotional behavior, ruthless willfulness, emotional manipulation, demands for constant attention, suicide gestures and threats."  This is quite a list.

I have to giggle a bit as I am the one being accused of exaggeration and I am sure, focused fits of rage.  When one can't care for themselves, they will focus their anger on those who can.  And when attempt is made to destroy others, it will only show the insecurities and lack of ability of the pretentious person exhibiting the negative behavior.

Today, life was validated once again.  How grateful I am to those who have stood by, believed, and defended.  Rejoicing in the closure and the wonderful new adventures that have been coming our way!  No exaggeration because ..
