Anonymous Coward User ID: 134193 United States 08/27/2006 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He's letting others know he's where he is from faith and hard work. The eyes shifting isn't much, people tend to read too much into that. I rarely look people in the eyes, they're too telling about the person and I choose not to know some things. I know someone in their mid forties, who is a very nice guy, but he likes to tell everyone what he's done and accomplished, and he often adds 'thanks to the Lord' when he talks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 136533He doesn't always look directly into the eyes, look shifts often. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 136533 United States 08/27/2006 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | just to add... most of his life he was considered a 'failure' by his most of his family... He's been trying to make strides, and does have some accomplishments now, but I wonder if that's why he is bragging (because of the failure thing) |

It's only life, you'll never get out alive. I have a lot to accomplish, and not much time to accomplish it. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. |

He is a Christian, and if you ever read bible, it talks about not staning in the corners of the street and tell everyone what great things he/she is doing.... well, he doesn't seem to be following that advice very well... |

Quoting: C. 81376Was he always this way? 7 years Yes, he's always been like that. If you ask him information about something, he insists that he'll tell you the whole story, not just an certain part. He loves to tell the stame story over and over to people never gets tired of it. He tries to find different angles to the stories to make them sound more interesting (perfecting and polishing them). (i used to be like that in my early 20s).... Although most people really like his character (laid back), I end up hearing the same things 100 times. Sometimes he doesn't see clues that some people don't want to hear what he has to say. |
