It doesn't seem like hustlers, at least in the sense of the article, have low self-worth. It's fairly easy to put people with low self-worth off.
Hustlers are, I think, more like those really pushy boyfriends who you go out on one date with and then they try to call you 15 times an hour. Same sort of behaviour -
"ME ME ME, MY WANTS OVER YOUR RIGHT TO BE LEFT ALONE! LISTEN TO ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!"
I suppose you could consider that a form of insecurity. But if it is, it's insecurity coupled with incredibly strong selfishness.
- riggins 13y agoI suppose you could consider that a form of insecurity not really. One of my favorite results from pysch research was that large, physically aggressive men are not in fact covering up insecurity. In general, they tend to have very good self esteem. Which frankly makes sense. Why? Because few people want to step to a large, physically aggressive guy and tell them they have some stupid ideas. Real life example: any NFL pre-game show. These guys are sling blade level stupid yet they have incredibly high opinions of themselves.
- triplesec 13y agoY?our point helped me identify my problem with this article: the hustler he sets up at the beginning of the article is not the same type of hustler from the one he's annoyed at at the end. At the beginning it's about "people who talk, or work, and at the end it's "people who can't talk well". I'm afraid therefore that I'd have to conclude it's a poorly-thought out article.
