Manipulative and arrogant Simply because someone wants and can - only their own interests in this world Strong need to impress and be admired by others - Avoids side views, horses blinders

Anne-Lise...we definitely need to understand people like this and do our best to keep them in check (maybe even in prison if necessary). My preference would be psychotherapy for all of them. It would make sense to spend on that rather than on fighting. Smiles!!

A great poem. These people are why naive people were invented. But I'm learning.

It is lamentable that such an individual exists, Anne-Lise; however, your poem eloquently portrays the essence of the term.

Dear Anne-Lise, your verse captures the meaning of your title with vibrant imagery so sad in the reality that such a "someone" exists. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

- I read something about unsympathetic personality traits, such as selfishness, malice or psychopathy, being closely connected in a common dark core ... a frightening post to read ... was inspired to write a little about it ... tried to "soften" it with a "fun figure", Susan :) - Thank you for reading :) - hugs

Well, I have to say a fellow that looks like that is bound to get attention whether he wants it or not. That having been said I think it's somewhat natural and human nature to want to be liked and admired, whether it's for a person's fine qualities, skills, talents etc. Of course, narcissists take it too far. Being generous to others can help mitigate that tendency

- It's too black and white, Tom ... then the word "Unsympathetic" would never have been invented ...

I'm of the opinion that everyone has unique qualities that make them special

- "Fine qualities, skills, talents etc." are great to have... but not everyone has them, Tom - Thank you for your comment :) - hugs
