Whenever you reject someone,
your rejection is a greater testament to your own self-entitlement than it is
to the self-entitlement of the other person. The act of rejection, in itself,
implies that you believe yourself to Deserve Better, and you regard this
valuation more highly than the Other’s point of view, presuming that you are “too
good” for the Other. Now, given the consensual nature of relationships, it is
easy to see how someone’s high opinion of his or herself can be mistaken for
fact, since that person’s suitors may see fit to appeal to it. Yet that
willingness does not, in fact, equate the opinion with a fact; though we are
tempted to venerate narcissists, they remain mere mortals.
