[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just got to let it go an choose how much time you want to spend with them. Everyone else sees it too. I’m in my late 40’s and there are still people that do it as this age. I’m convinced it’s part of some sort of personality issue.[/quote] Agree in general except that people do not always see it. Especially if the one-upper targets their behavior at one person in the group. I have seen a manipulative behavior where a person will always one-up one specific person, while flattering and deferring to other people in the group. I think sometimes it's a way to try and sideline a person in the group that the one-upper views as a rival or threat. The behavior can be subtle enough that if you aren't on the receiving end of it, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.[/quote]
