Re: Do you think hypocrites have low self esteem?

Caitlin Bree · ‎08-01-2014

It seems there are others who see the hypocrite as having low self esteem. Here is another quote by Norman MacDonald: ""Hypocrisy is the outward acknowledgment of inward shame."" I agree. Anyone who needs to act above others usually doesn't feel good about himself. And a hypocrite thinks he is ""above"" the behavior he condemns.... Yet is actually guilty of the exact same things. Interesting thoughts at any rate.

Interesting for sure.

I remember how a radio personality used to berate drug addicts...and then it turned out HE was addicted to oxycontin and sent his maid out to score for him.

He later got caught with viagra...he had it made out in his doctor's name so people wouldn't know he used it!!

What. A. Hypocrite.

That's interesting, Caitlin Bree (love your nickname Smile ). I've read that hypocrisy is part of a narcissistic personality disorder, and it seems as though they need to try and knock others down in order to feel good about themselves. Anyone secure in themselves wouldn't need to do that.

And how about Cosby preaching to others about bettering themselves yet all the while doing what he was doing.

Anyone secure in themselves wouldn't need to call people trolls. ${#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}$

Two good examples, in my opinion.
