Losing that fake sense of superiority and returning home to be a nobody in the West, that is what they really fear!

Narcissism is a good way to describe these people,along with a lot of greed, hubris and often bigoted views and racism.

Sadly I have met my share of Aussies/Brits who are the worst for this, nobodies back home, but act like they are cock of the walk in China. They might get cut down someday, and in the back of their minds that worry will never go away, hence the boozing, pot smoking, and self congratulating.

But self love, like masturbation, only makes you feel good for so long...reality will always come back to bite. Nothing is ever more true!
