How do I take someone off their high horse

without physical violence?



This kid thinks he is the epicenter of the universe and can do no wrong. He has terrible work ethic yet thinks he cannot be replaced. He is my friend but I'm sick of his shit, he needs to be taken down a notch. He thinks he is untouchable and needs to know otherwise.

We live and work together but next month I'm moving across the country and then he'll be left with other people who will not put up with his b.s. So please, for his own good and for mine help me.

 

I am not my bothers keeper.. I think thats in the bible somewhere, but i dont suggest you kill him.

 

What goes up must come down.

My friend was the same way. We lived/worked together too.
Perhaps this all he needs: he'll be left with other people who will not put up with his b.s.

 

If you're moving you don't need to care.

 

tell him he's rather full of himself.

 

But I do care, he had a rough childhood and his parents are horrendous people. His moral shortcomings are rooted in their teachings. He is basically a good person who needs a reality check.

 

Kill the horse, that's how. :beatdeadhorse5:

 

ask him if he wouldn't mind some advice. tell him what other people think of him. tell him, from other peoples points of view, that these are his flaws. and hopefully he will attempt to fix the things about him that he needs to fix, like his poor work ethic, etc

 

You really can't "tell" other people. He is going to have to learn from coming up against people who don't give a damn about him.

 

I've tried this and it does not work because he just doesn't care.

I hate to say it but I think this is how it will have to be, I was hoping that this would not be the case though.

 

Every time he makes a claim of no wrong say "prove it". Then watch him back it up. Likely he won't be able to, so encourage him to "try again".

 

it sounds like he got the girl and you's jealous?

 

LMAO

actually, he just came out of the closet.

 

First he's on a tall horse, then he's in a closet... who is this guy?

 

Retain His Friendship And Let The Others Sort Him

Out After You Move On....



Cheers Glen.

 

A Very Tall And Gay Version Of Mr Edd...



Cheers Glen.

 

I used to think his being in the closet was the source of his blatant lack of giving a fuck about anyone else but since he came out it's gotten worse, I just didn't think him being gay was relevant to the overall situation.

 

Use a jousting lance and a charging steed!

 

I've wanted to so badly at times...
