[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't currently have a one-upper in my life. And no, I'm not the OP of the kennel cough thread. I read that thread and saw many people saying she should "call out" the one upping. However, many years ago when I did have a friend who did this frequently in conversation, I pointed out to her that she was doing it and she got very defensive and would just argue with me about it. It was not productive. That friendship ended, which was for the best, but since then I don't "call out" one uppers, I just avoid becoming friends with them at all. I was just curious if anyone has ever successfully gotten someone to stop one upping in conversation by pointing it out to them.[/quote] Unless you're prepared to say that the conversation is about you, and only you, and to not talk about themselves, there's really no way to do this that doesn't make you a hypocrite.[/quote]
