It's very important to note that the defining characteristic of being in "the Bubble" is delusion. For instance, your friend who earns a modest income decides to hit the local BMW dealership regularly to test drive cars that aren't in his price range. That, ladies and gentleman, is the single most defining characteristic of people who live in "the Bubble." In order to deal with their insecurities, they resort to fabricating truths that ultimately become their reality. Just because somebody you know is failing at life doesn't mean they are in "the Bubble." Some of us can deal with failure better than others.
People in "the Bubble" earn their citizenship once the following qualities are combined with their delusion. All of us own a couple or a few of these characteristics. The difference with "ordinary" folks is that they don't own SEVERAL of these traits.
Bubble Characteristics: Bubblees have a combination of several of these characteristics.
1. Disloyal
2. Extremely poor judgment/irresponsible
3. Unable/Unwilling to accept blame for anything
4. Financially irresponsible
5. Friends have little to no motivation
6. Awful parent
7. False sense of abilities
8. Chronic exaggerator
9. Little to no ambition/misplaced ambition
10. No resilience
11. Happily ignorant
12. Very inconsistent
13. Drama Driven
14. Unable/unwilling to acknowledge flaws
15. Self – Mutilator
16. Extremely selfish
17. Frequently fired/Rarely hired
18. Manipulative
19. absent moral compass
20. Has at least one significant enabler
How did you conclude these would be the defining traits/ charateristics of someone living in the "Bubble"? And why 7-10 vs 10-15?
