[quote=Anonymous]Yes some people who didn't like my nieces behavior would say, "she's quite bossy isn't she". Others who found it amusing called her the future POTUS, a leader, etc.   it's basically being rude and trying to control others behavior and it may be cute at 5 but it's not cute at 8 on.  I think it was a sign of low self esteem to be honest.  Also I guessed her parents were quite hard on her or they thought she was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Mixed messages.  They also fought a lot and didn't have a loving kind relationship themselves.  And they were very judge mental of others and I think that rubbed off on her.  From probably 3rd grade on the girls started to exclude her and be mean and she stopped getting invited to things and it was really sad.  I was sad for my brother too.   Her behavior could be really embarrassing for them at times and then when she was excluded when she was older it was too late to do anything about it.   You can't really go back and say to a 10 year old girl, hey you don't have any friends because you are mean to everyone.  That can really do a number on them.  Her self esteem was shot, and it was probably low to begin with if she needed to tell everyone what to do.   [/quote]
