is it just impossible to confront some people with problems?  it seems as if certain people just become extremely defensive and start attacking you whenever you confront them with anything and no matter how you confront them.  makes me wonder how i react when people confront me with problems...  i'm also convinced the friend thinks i'm really conceited.  i often wonder if i'm conceited.... i think "i do believe that i am better at most people at most things and i do have evidence of that but then on the other hand i have evidence supporting the argument that i'm not better than most people at most things".  i've come to the conclusion that i'm a pretty good judge of myself because of the fact that i think about that and i am critical of my thinking.  but still it's hard to say.... maybe i am conceited that still doesn't give my friend a right to just insult me when i'm trying to have an honest conversation with him.
