I think what hei_lancer meant was if somebody is very familiar with something, he/she will be very arrogant and look down on others.
Example: Ali plays basketball like Michael Jordan, but Boon Hui plays like a gu niang. So Ali looks down on Boon Hui.

know what it means...
but...whatever... -
Spidee...
U are somewhere near the idea...
but my idea goes like this:
2 people or a group of people, when i mean a group, means 3 and above
when people get familiar with each other, they tend to know in depth of each others habits, idiosyncracies etc...
as such, problems arise becos of the fact that they know too much about the other people!!
Anybody care to add to this?? -
Oh i see...

It's inevitable.
People know too much about me. They go WTF!! I had such a problem with one of my oldest friends quite some back.. Wasn't pleasent but hey, thats how it goes, broken, fix it. Thats how people improve, diplomancy have its limitations.
And they best reserved for people I don't know about.
So its better to know. Than to not know, and play nice all the time.
