I should clarify then. Not talking abt abstract ethics but whether you can continue a relationship with someone.

If someone actually thinks they're better than me, no. If they focus on themselves due to self-doubt, yes.

I'm OK with someone thinking they're better than me. I'd venture to guess most people do on some level.

On some level, yes. I'm better than many in verbal ability & nearly everyone is better than me in spatial ability.Not the point

An egotist is some1 who thinks everything revolves around them & others less important. Compare this with miserable self-doubt

Yeah, I totally agree there's a significant distinction between the two.

Yes. I'm considering whether to end a friendship with some1 who will only ever talk abt himself & seems not to care abt my life

I am leaning towards not doing so coz I think this comes from agonising self-doubt rather than genuine indifference towards me

I think if I were to say to him that I am also a person w issues I'd like support with, he'd feel instantly remorseful. Matters
