Genuinely sociopathic to happily admit that you used the good faith and labour of others for self-aggrandizement. Doubly so when you lack the social grace and understanding to comprehend how bad you come off in every exchange.

Smiles, exclamations, and faux-interest won't prevent people from noticing you are utterly inconsiderate and self-obsessed. Though they may be too polite to say it to your face.
