More of Winer’s Double Standard

October 22nd, 2007 by EyeOnWiner

This, to me, is one of the most infuriating things about Dave. He treats other people with no respect, no compassion, and without thinking how what he’s saying is going to impact them. He does this under the guise of “calling it like he sees it”. This is not a problem. There are a lot of crusty old people on the internet who think they know everything and believe that everyone who doesn’t agree with them is stupid.

The problem that I have with it, though, is that he’s also one of the most overly-sensitive people around. He wants the right to tell you that something you’ve done sucks, and still be your friend, but if you criticize anything he does or says, you’re suddenly being “personal” and “nasty”.

He can dish it out, but he can’t take it.

    If you get a match on 5 of these traits:

    1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
    2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
    3. believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by other special people
    4. requires excessive admiration
    5. strong sense of entitlement
    6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
    7. lacks empathy
    8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
    9. arrogant behavior

    Then you have a narcissistic personality. NOTE: narcissistics see themselves differently that others.
