Do you ever feel conceded?
There are times when we all feel proud of ourselves (at least I hope we all do)... but have you ever found yourself feeling too proud to the point of conceded? Cocky, overly confident, or just downright having an episode of narcissism?
Like "Oh my gosh, I'm such an awesome writer... why hasn't anyone commented on my hub yet? I know it's awesome, where's my praise and adoration from my hundreds of adoring fans?"
I've done it a few times without realizing it until I look back at how I talked, what I said and how I acted. I don't like the feeling. Being confident is one thing, but conceded is believing you are better than others.
Momkat, the word you're looking for is "conceited," not "conceded." To concede means to agree that something is true. You might want to edit your title. Feel free to delete my comment if you fix the error, no hard feelings.

Have you ever seen someone, or read an email from someone, and without even knowing them just felt like they had bad intentions or a darkness around them? And the other way around, ever meet someone and just feel like they are a really good person?

Have you ever felt a strong conviction in your life? That you feel like your going out of your mind.I have heard the word conviction but never really felt what it meant until 2013. It was a strong conviction from GOD . It was one of the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. It's un-explainable...
