Every single person I have ever met who proclaimed themselves a winner, wasn't.

I see. So you think you've never met a winner who could say so. OK, so you have as much as said that you would never nor have you ever declared yourself to be a winner at anything.

For you to do so or have done so would have instantly identified you as a loser who only thought he was a winner, but must be just kidding himself.

Somehow that comes as no surprise.

No, not quite. I have never met someone who went around proclaiming themselves a winner who, in fact, was one. Not that I haven't heard someone say they won this or won that; that is a different thing entirely.

No, usually people who go around saying "I am such a winner!" are compensating for fairly substantial dearths in their own psyche or life.

OK, so you have as much as said that you would never nor have you ever declared yourself to be a winner at anything.

We have uncovered one lacking quality already: Your reading comprehension. Never once did I say I would not state that I won this or won that. But one thing I won't go around doing is crowing and strutting around that I am "such a winner". Even if my belief system ran that particular way -- and it doesn't, I try instead to be someone who improves the lots and lives of people around me -- that would be tacky, gauche, and would reveal a deep-seated insecurity on my part.

I have self confidence, but I don't feel the need to parade around with self-appointed tin badges pinned to my chest.
