[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a one upper? Think honestly. For instance, if someone says something interesting or weird about their childhood, do you feel the need to chime in with something from yours that's even MORE weird? People who do this are the ones who strike me as liars because they always have SOMETHING that tops everyone else and it is attention seeking. One uppers can never just let anyone have the moment, they have to show how everything they've done was scarier/cooler/weirder. I would bet that even if you don't recognize it, you are the One Upper in conversation and so everything you say, even if true, appears to be made up so as to force the conversation back to you.

+1. I wondered about this too. OP, google the "Penelope" skits from SNL starring Kristen Wiig. It's an exaggeration of the type, but it'll give you an idea of the sort of serial exaggerator/one-upper who gets everyone rolling their eyes and thinking someone is full of it.

Also possible that there's just one person stirring the pot, as another PP said, and is just one of those toxic frenemies trying to get you off-balance.[/quote]
