Alright so I'm a pretty attractive guy and I'm not bad at talking to women. My only problem is that in the past several month I have noticed that I have become a complete narcissist. I hate how much I value myself, how I feel like I'm always entitled to everything, and it makes me act like a complete asshole sometimes. I'll lay in my bed and review my day and be ashamed of all the obnoxious and "douche-y" things I do. Still, I just can't help it. I'm still in school and I get quite good marks without much effort. Instead of being modest and aloof, I always end up making an ass out of myself when someone else does something wrong. The pattern goes something like this: When I meet someone, I act perfect, then I become an asshole. I've tried to just focus on acting calm and reserved, but after a while I just spiral out.

I need a strict regiment or exercise to somehow overcome this narcissism and obnoxiousness because simply trying to avoid it is not working, and it's getting worse.

I have a similar problem, I used to also judge people really quickly, what I did was simply punish myself if I tried, and then go talk to the girl and deal with it. Also if you feel yourself becoming an asshole it means you are trying to much, relax and have fun, if you can't control it leave the conversation say you have work to do. Then try and get her number early when she sees your perfect.

Best advice I can give is be more conscious of it while you are doing it that way you can stop yourself slowly slowly.

I was almost the same at high school except for the thing that not only had I good marks I was also socially awkward. My class did a good job on punishing me for both of these several times. That really helped me as it gave me some motivation to change. But in the end it was me who decided not to act like that. In your head try to find something you're bad at and think about how do you feel when someone outperformes you in that thing and brags about it. Concentrate on the feeling and think about that others feel that all the time. It's really not a good feeling. After you've taken a look on this from several perspectives, it really is just a question of willpower to change yourself. Good Luck!

Try to control it a bit, and maybe use that as an advantage!

Cocky&Funny style's recommendations when you screw up are :

apologizing, admiting you sometimes are a jerk, which will DHV you because you're demonstrating self-awareness, and then just follow it with a field-tested routine which is funny.

Att,
