number 4 reminds me so much of my childhood. i'd ask my dad if i could get a game and start off by saying it's $60 and he'd say no but then i'd tell him it's really only $20 and he'd think it's reasonable.
Well, if someone thinks they sing really well, that's a self-image. They believe their voice sounds the the sweet caress of angels on your mind. If you should point out that their singing voice sounds worse than a banshee next to an off-tune violin and a scratched chalkboard, they will probably not accept it and will continually fight to prove they really are a good singer. Self-images are points of assurance that people cling to, and destroying them can lead to fascinating results.
be very careful and if one must point out something of a self-image, try and phrase it politely. The less polite the person you're talking to, go extreme. "your singing is good, but you could try better," or "your singing is fucked up," depending on how you want to play it. Last one can be incredibly amusing, hypothetically, but tread carefully.
Depends on how much you want them to hate you.
Hope that helped a bit!
