Monologues

Wherever you are, you will always encounter a person who thinks he/she is Mr./Miss Know-It-All or Mr./Miss I’m Better Than You; be it at school, at work or even at home.

I personally have nothing against people who are knowledgeable in almost everything and smarter than me or better than me in doing something. In fact, I find them highly attractive. But it is when they think they’re right even when they’re not because they appear smarter; now that ticks me off. Being smart is not a crime but when one gets so full of himself and start belittling others, that’s when people find one conceited.

So what if she can cook better than I do? So what if she has better stamina than I do? So what if she eats lesser than I do? So what if she has a hotter boyfriend? So what if she has a bigger paycheck than I do?

I’m grateful that she can cook better because I would have the benefit of eating delicious food. I’m happy that she has better stamina because then she’ll be able to win the marathon which she signed up for and I could tell the whole world her success. I’m happy that she has a hot boyfriend-to-be; which girl wouldn’t want that? It’s a bonus! I’m even happy that she has a bigger paycheck which could possibly increase my chance of getting expensive gifts. =D

I honestly don’t care that she’s better than me in such aspect. There’s no harm in showing off but it’s unpleasant to offend others when she’s trying to show off.

I might not be a master chef but at least I cook edible food. So, there is really no need in saying I’m 20 and it’s shameful that I can’t even prepare a simple dish. I might not be as fit as I was in my high school days but there’s no need in saying that I’m lousy, lazy and a fat pig every other day even in public just because she hits the gym 4 times a week these few years. I don’t remember giving her such names when I was as fit as a fiddle while she was a slacker and had fleshy meat. I might not be a nutritionist but I don’t eat like a sumo wrestler. Food is a temptation I can’t resist - a passion. So what has my food menu got to do with her? I might not have the hottest boyfriend in the world but he’s no Shrek. He’s good-looking enough for me and he treats me like a queen. That’s all that matters. There’s no need to tease and insult my boyfriend just because she thinks he’s not good enough. How would you like it if someone were to do that to your significant other? And I might not be a millionaire but at least I have extra income to spare from my freelancing job instead of burdening my mum. So what has my buying a jeans with my hard-earned money to reward myself has to do with her? It was not like I used her money. Since she now has a bigger paycheck, she didn’t even get me the gift she promised. Oh, and did I mention that it’s been years?
