You may have the most fragile ego on this forum. You don't have what it takes to destroy anyone here.
This is nothing more than a reckless personal attack. It's possible for anyone to have a fragile ego or inflated ego or both and just be hiding it. It possible they would just as soon murder people for the fun of it - and be hiding it. All kinds of things going on in someone else's mind are possible and they are just hiding it. There are all kinds of "indications" that such minds do exist.
For example, per ChatGPT, to use an objective source:
- Overreaction to Criticism: Reacting defensively, angrily, or disproportionately to constructive feedback or criticism.
- Constantly Seeking Reassurance: Frequently asking for validation or affirmation from others to feel good about themselves.
- Avoidance of Challenges: Avoiding situations where they might fail or be judged, due to fear of damaging their self-esteem.
- Perfectionism: Setting unrealistically high standards for themselves and being overly critical of their own mistakes.
- Social Withdrawal: Pulling away from social interactions or activities to avoid potential rejection or negative judgment.
- Jealousy or Envy: Expressing resentment towards others' success or happiness, as it may threaten their own sense of worth.
- Blaming Others: Shifting blame to others to protect their own ego from feeling responsible for failures or shortcomings.
Each of these expresses a grey area of judgement:
1. What is disproportionate? That is a subjective opinion.
2. What is "frequently?" That is a subjective opinion.
3. How do you really know someone is avoiding situations out of fear, rather than some other reason?
4. What is "unrealistic?"
5. How do you really know someone is pulling away from social interactions for some specific reason. There can almost always be many reasons.
6. How can you be sure there is resentment? Again, you can't read their mind to be sure. And there can be many reasons for resentment -- such as wasting your time.
7. There can be many reasons for blaming.
So, this criticism you have levied at me is unfair and the result of losing many arguments to me in the past - which I have to the best my ability tried to display by communicating in a clear and logical manner.
Why don't you and the others stop with the silly or rather schizophrenic obsessions about the inner workings of someone else's mind? What gives? Why are you doing this? If I had to hypothesize I would say because it makes you and others feel UNCOMFORTABLE. And yes, that would be my objective.
I am interested in change. Even if it is small. And it is important to make the appraisal community feel uncomfortable with the state of things. So, you see, I HAVE A LEGITIMATE REASON for my posts, as well as selfish reasons (to improve my writing skills). You DO NOT, - as far as I am concerned - you are rather part of the old corrupt rubber (call it hard rubber in your case) stamp system of appraisal.
