I have a better explanation. She was talking about the kinds of stuff she was into, and didn&#x27;t sense that you were into the same things. Then when you said you did do stuff like that, she was interested because you had more in common.<p>She didn&#x27;t have an ego, you did. If you didn&#x27;t, you guys could have talked all about the particulars of the stories she was telling, interspersing with similar tales from your adventures.<p>But no, you wanted to prove that you were better than her. So you let her talk thinking not of having an actual conversation with her, but wanting to go on your spiel.
