Within the past couple of years, the New Yorker published a short story about a guy with very negative internal dialogue. The story relates his musings on his private, but caustic and superior opinions through his daily life, until one evening he crashes a party to which he was conspicuously not invited. The host confesses he was not invited because of his persistently bad attitude, which comes to him (and the reader) as a kind of surprise-yet-not-a-surprise. The man's ego is crushed as he comes to the realization that he is, in fact, a jerk.

This story has stuck in my head, but I can't remember its name or track it down. Anyone happen to have a link?
