Do they work for delusions of grandeur such as I know so much about so many obscure subjects and languages that I am smarter than everyone else, I am such a great first responder and people just don't appreciate me so I'm not going to respond when I'm called to emergencies, I have hobnobbed with so many famous people whose names I drop that I must be really important, I am so far above other mere mortals and all my opinions and only my opinions are correct, etc?
Bae has never said I am a great first responder or I know so much or I must be really important- that is your own insecurity talking. You know you could do things that would be worthy of "bragging about" too. All you have to do is to decide to use your tenacity and passion for good. You certainly have the time.
