I have a relative staying over right now and he has to have an opinion on… everything. Examples:
“That’s a nice watch… How much did you pay for it? That much? That’s too much money”.
“That meal looks good… You should add some cheese to it”
“What size is your bottle? Don’t you think it’s a bit large? it would be better if it was smaller”
“That would be better if they didn’t add sugar to it. They put too much sugar in it.” Me: “There’s no added sugar”. “That would be better if they didn’t add sugar to it.”
LIKE BRO???
It’s performative insecurity. And it’s not an opinion, it’s bullying. That’s the point, to steamroll other people and their opinions to make people capitulate to their “way of doing things.” To make them feel good about themselves. Which is cheap and fleeting.
