By being humble and polite is to put yourself in a good light (or because it makes you feel good due to the way you treat others, a pretty common personal trait at that too) is one of the most egotistical things you can do. By not being humble and polite you are egotistical as well, but at least you are true to who you are at least which in itself is also stroking your ego. We're all egotistical douchebags, and some of you may even think "well, fuck, I'm not as egotistical as that person at least", whoa, stroking your ego on top of it? Bites teeth and breath air fast inwards for a sec while making a slightly awkward face in the most ego way possible.

the book of dougs.

There are always levels of ego. It must be warred against every day of this life. It is subtle.

This a good thread here.

"This ain't got to do with shit but I just thought that I should mention."

"A nigga like me man, I love the game, I love the hustle. You be feeling like one of them ball players niggas you know? Like Byrd or Magic or some. Yeah you know, a nigga got dope, a nigga can leave the league. But if I leave, the fans still gone love me my nigga?"

You haven't shown and proved you're good at anything. You're either 90% troll or a delusional ego maniac.

Meh at text, middle class money, look like a background mixed guy in a target ad.

Your first sentence shows that without the rest even lol. Made it about a self aware ladder climb instead of dissecting actual greats, bringing up any relevant sociological points, etc.

What a turd.
