Agreed, but those hills in northwest Florida are a long, long way from
being snow capped mountains. Florida's highest point is only about 350
feet elevation.

I get occasional visits from a Florida cyclist who exceeds 5000 miles

I agree that 'interesting' terrain, as I enjoy here, is not at all
'daunting' or 'punishing' or 'grueling' as I find mountains.

I happen to love mountainous or even hilly scenery. But I've never

Well, golly, just look at you.

One club member led years of rides he called "Hill Repeats." Up steep
hills out of a valley, back down, over and over. I never once attended.

Many narcissists enjoy bragging about themselves in grandiose and
exaggerated terms, be it their physical attractiveness, material
(trophy) possessions, social popularity, exciting lifestyle, merit
badge achievements, high-status associations, or other envy-worthy
attributes. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with describing
oneself in positive terms, the pathological narcissist does so in the
following unhealthy ways:

A. The self-flattering statements are often exaggerated.

B. The self-flattering statements are often uttered, directly or
indirectly, at the expense of others (“I’m better than you,” “you
don’t have what I have,” “they‘re nothing compared with me.”) The
narcissist’s fragile ego is boosted not by positively affirming
oneself, but by putting others down.

C. The self-admiring statements are intended for you to look up to and
adulate them. In essence, they want you to worship them, so they feel
“special," “exceptional," and “important."

It is with this superficial and compensatory outer “mask” that the
narcissist constructs his or her false identity, submerging an
insecure, wounded self.
