The saying is:I do not care a bit about them

I wonder if we really think on it:
How many people do you actually like, in the world?

in life everything is a fine line, because if people find out you are kind you have good chances of being taken advantage of.

I love this quote from Nick Rhodes, the keyboard player with Duran Duran, when he was was once accused of being pretentious:
"Pretentious??? I should jolly well hope so!".
I feel the same way!

Being pretentious isn't a crime but it's not an attractive trait to have.characterized by assumption of dignity or importance, especially when exaggerated or undeserved: a pretentious, self-important waiter. making an exaggerated outward show; ostentatious. full of pretense or pretension; having no factual basis; false

Not me that's for sure although some people can be so full of themselves to the extent that they could very well do anything that could result in a prison term.

Of course....it's entirely of the ego.------ This thread is Archived ------
I don't like the term pretending you're someone better....the way I see it is pretending to be someone other than you are in order to try to control someone's opinion of you....

Sorry I' gotta ask this thenif you're saying being pretentiousness is an ego thing?... i don't see how Being aware could be an ego thing at all? I see something, and I think something... wow.>>. I just realized that?

I'm not sure how you relate being 'aware' to pretentiousness. I would imagine a person who acts pretentious is far from aware.if you're saying being pretentiousness is an ego thing?... i don't see how Being aware could be an ego thing at all? I see something, and I think something... wow.>>. I just realized that?
The ego-self is possibly the source of most of our problems. Wherever we get hung up in pain and confusion, (and surely a pretentious person is confused,) we’ll find the ego.
"The ego is like a petty tyrant who must fulminate on the rightness of its position as a compensation for the swamp of doubt upon which it's castle is built."
James Hollis.
