He's the man who believed he was the world's best boss, and in so many ways he is exactly like all of us -- well, those of us who love ourselves a little too much, anyway. His crazy antics combined with his dimwitted personality turned into an amazingly funny TV character to watch, and even love, and he perfectly understands what it's like to be a little bit in love with yourself. Here are 11 ways Michael Scott is just like us.
1. Just like every basic girl on this planet, he knows what its like to be #blessed... well, sort of.
We all recognize when our lives are going extremely well, and why shouldn't we be allowed to brag about it?
2. He's mastered the skill of turning your weaknesses into positives (because let's face it, perfection is actually possible).
For those of us who really love ourselves, we know that our moms were always right when they told us how great we are, and how talented we are. Come on, just look at us.
3. No one can ever turn you down because you can be anything they need you to be.
You need someone calm, cool and collected? You got it. Someone loud and obnoxious? Done deal. There is no such thing as playing both sides of the fence, because there is no fence.
4. He knows exactly what it's like to be loved by everyone (including himself).
When you're someone who really loves yourself, it's natural for everyone else to think you're pretty amazing too.
5. People like us can pull off any look.
We can make a paper bag look like designer fashion.
6. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of how great we know we are.
We don't need validation. But it couldn't hurt.
7. Our own friends can't really compete with us, because we are just too awesome.
"I am the Beyonce of the friend group" is the most common train of thought in our heads.
8. No matter what anyone says, we always know that we are really, truly the best.
World's Best Human should really be an award, because we'd win it every time.
9. He knows the feeling -- when you're so different from everyone else that you may as well not even associate with them.
10. And that feeling when being so perfect really wears you out...
11. And let's not forget about when you realize that you're not actually that great; you're really just like everyone else.
So there you have it: reasons why Michael Scott is just like the rest of us narcissists.
