Casual arrogance, disrespect, pretentiousness, condescending ways, egocentrism.

I know somebody who is the epitome of everything I listed. She is arrogant and outspoken and to save myself from going off on her, I ignore her. I just leave it. I say as little as possible and because she has such an extreme egocentric complex, she goes to my sister, asking what's wrong with me, and if I have social anxiety. No, I don't have social anxiety. This speaks volumes about her personality; she is so egocentric that her first impulse is to think that there is something wrong with another human being if they don't want to interact with her.

She litters. Done with coffee? Throw the cup on the street. Done loading the car? Fuck it, leave it in the parking lot. She has absolutely zero respect for any other person and leaving the cart in the parking lot is a manifestation of that. It's not affecting her, although she's wildly inconviencing and disrespecting everybody else, but she doesn't give a shit.

She's so self-centered she believes her arrogance is charming. That's fucking insane. She will deliberately and consciously impose herself onto you and anybody else and thinks it's adorable. At a dinner she was going off on how my her boyfriend hasn't proposed to her yet, and the expensive ring she expects. He got up and left out of uncomfort, and when he came back, she continues.

She's condescending, and thinks she's so above everybody intellectually that nobody notices. She compares me to her "artistic cousin who nobody understands," because she thinks I've lost my way in life as I don't enjoy a conversation with her.

The weirdest thing is, as fucking awful as she is, I'm indifferent to it, and I'm not sure why. She just happens to be someone that is the physical manifestation of everything in a person I don't like, and the perfect answer to this question.

aw fuck, I hate that! :S

It takes a lot of strength/composure for you to be able to not let it make you impulsive, so props. Out of curiosity, how does your bro feel about this? does he notice it? One of my best friends is in a similar situation where she often acts like she just does not care him, especially around other people. Somehow he knows this, but still does everything for her.
