Show offs.

Okay.. I will keep this post direct and simple. After all, I am blogging on my phone which gives me an added inconvenience of including a picture to make this post slightly more noticable and 'tempting' to read.

So, the thing I realise about many people is their need to 'show off' what they are insercure about. For example, a person who has just learnt how to skate on a skateboard would bring his skateboard around to show that he can skate. He might think that skating is a really cool thing and that bringing his skateboard around will enhance his 'coolness' but in reality he doesn't really skate like a pro. In order to be cool and hide the fact that he doesn't skate well, brings his skateboard around to show off.

Another example is when one shows off his diversity of knowledge randomly when noone actually asked him for the information. He tells you that he has been to orchard road for a million times, knows every building in orchard and he ensures you that he knows them better than you because he 'always' goes there. There is a high chance that this person thinks that cool people always hangs out at orchard road and therefore showing that he knows a lot about orchard road actually shows that he is one of the cool people.

Actually... There are no cool or uncool people. It is just the insercurity of the mind that works hand in hand with the media and cause someone to believe that they are lousy in some way. This leads to people showing off.
