They "appear" to be narcissistic, but posts are not the same as the person's behavior and can be misleading. Speaking in the first person may be confused for narcissism, for example. Too many "I"s in a row or something. At least you admit that your observations could be flawed, and on two issues you were proven wrong. This is a breakthrough of sorts. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

I've generally been careful to admit where I could be wrong, and I'm pretty up front on admitting it when I either don't know something or am wrong. That isn't a change. In fact the two things that I was corrected on were from a list of decisions where I was frequently saying, "this is a guess". (On one of the ones labelled as wrong I actually said that it was a guess.) Newsflash. Ben says that he is guessing when he is actually guessing and might be wrong!

When guesses about me that reflect me in a negative way are proven wrong, it makes me feel better. I respect your right to an opinion about me, and you can guess as much as you want, but keep in mind that you do not know the real me. You have never met me in person, Box has, so Box was able to figure out two things about me that you were only guessing at that were wrong guesses. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
