Narcissistic showoff is another kind of offensive showoff. They love themselves so deeply that they outweigh other things. So they don’t need to compete with others. They use many ways such as talk nonstop, brag, dance to show off. I stopped at the word “brag”. Through the article I had read above, I thought it must be associating with narcissistic. Through the on-line dictionary I found its meaning. They also quote big words to show their intelligence like Homer. I know he was a poet who was famous for his articles. In ordinary, we don’t always talk about him. Thus the narcissistic showoffs are also intend to seek name-drop.
In the last sentence, the author uses the word “yes”. I have a question here. What does the author support, the sentence before the last sentence, or the sentence next to it, or both? I thought that the author agrees to both sentences. And another function of “yes” serves as “too” or “also”. I knew that a child who is younger than six years old doesn’t have the same critical standard as that of adults. They often adore the people who are older than them.
In paragraph 11 the author sets an example of a conversation between the author and a narcissistic showoff. I stopped at the first sentence. I didn’t know the meaning of “when the conversation shifted from his accomplishments”. I knew the meaning of “shift from”. Once there is “shift”, I was likely to associate with the phrase “shift from … to…” So I wanted to know what the conversation shift to? Maybe is another topic.
From these two paragraphs, the author shows us a figure of narcissistic showoffs. In my view, they are competitive too. As soon as they aren’t the centre of attention, they feel anxious.
