Someone who pretends to be in
awe of somebody else, but is really in
awe of themself and how far they're trying to go with
something.
The true narcissist is the one who's always claiming to be in
awe of somebody else. Most
people know that there's not a whole lot to be impressed by in other
people, they're human (and inhuman), and they don't pretend to be impressed by anybody in particular.
