are people with large egos a menace to society?

Whether they're faking or not....it just sets the bar higher...bring it

Some are and some aren't... I've met a few that were extremly personable, not just for their image sake, they never let their success go to their heads and conquer how they treat other people, but I heard of one that got a waitress fired for setting a note down at his table saying he was her favorite actor, and I think that's just being a jerk, his profession is one in the public eye, and he had no right to complain to the manager about being complimented for it.

No. If you're status is popular at school and you're big, by picking on the lower status people makes you very low and no one ends up liking you. At my school, the same status people fight amongst each other. You see, the geeks fight the geeks. The Wogs fight the Wogs and the Aussies fight Aussies. I am a lover not a fighter and i try to be diplomatic in most cases but if a fight comes my way, i can only try my best :P

No.  As long as there is greed and stupidity in the world, there will be people willing to capitalize on those traits.

becasue some people may try to just please everybody and try to fit in with others, \nit's obvious that they are insecure and not comfortable being theirselves

That's easy many people in society seem to act like animals and appear to have adopted "a survival of the fittest" attitude. Such as not caring about others, not giving up seats to the elderly on the train, pushing past people on escalators, no please, thank-yous anymore.\nSurvival of the fittest is fine if you are a gorilla living in the middle of the jungle, but surely humans have evolved past this.

Tell them that having an ego that is too big is really a turn off, and nobody really likes people who are too egotistical.

I think that not only do they have a high ego, but can actually be dangerous to society.  I believe in God, but I disbelieve in organized religion.  I believe that our hearts are the temples we worship God in.  Basically, any small group of people who get together to make decisions for a large group of people make me uneasy.  If you back one of those fundamentalists into a corner and ask the hard questions like "Why did my Mom die of cancer?" or "Why did my little boy get hit by a car?"....you're going to get "It's God's will"  or  "the Lord works in mysterious ways".  The truth is, they don't know.  But they DO know that God wants you to vote Republican, and He's against raising taxes but He's for the defense, and even though it's one of His creations, He desperately hates marijuana.   Personally, they just make me nervous.

^ ? ^  yes, there are many people like that. i never really cared for people that take themselves so seriously, and are so narcissistic, that they assume the most innocuous statements are insults about themselves. however, it could be a simple matter of low self esteem that a person would even assume that a general statement made is an insult directed toward them. i guess it boosts their already overinflated sense of self worth to think that people would deem them important enough to even insult them.

Interesting, that could be a part of it. I think that people who have these tendencies and are incapable of fitting in or functioning in normal society tend to gravitate toward places like the military or priesthood because it offers them an escape from the rest of the world. They can hide behind collar or camouflage (or clown make up).

It's all relative.  Bigger problems/catastrophies cause people to reach inside themselves for bigger human qualities.  Many people don't think about it otherwise because they're too consumed with their own little universe - their own concerns supercede world issues until something happens that affects the world in a grand sense.

It seems that most of us are serious; the freaks (sexual or otherwise) tend to make a nuisance of themselves, though...

Believe it or not, people that brag or boast are the most insecure people! They often try to make themselves look good by pointing out what they have done or accomplished. An annoying habit in my opinion.

It doesn't bother me. If they are saying nasty things, and they can't even back it up, it's because they are jealous of you. You have things they don't. Maturity, intelligence, amongst others. Don't let it hurt you, they'll only do it more. You are better than them and can rise above them.

Think about it.  How often do you see fat or obese people made fun of in movies or on T.V.?  It has become socially acceptable to poke fun at heavy people.  People who hate overweight people don't have to struggle to maintain an acceptable weight.  They don't understand that it is difficult or next to impossible for many people to do what comes naturally to them.  It's a general lack of empathy for fellow human beings.

Yes, there are many fake people in this world, tell me about it. I had a friend just like that, she'd always go on about herself and complain how her life was hard, yet when I tried to confide in her, she didn't have time to listen! She's no longer a so called friend of mine, can't be dealing with that.
