Arrogance (feeling superior)

It's not the ordinary way of feeling superior on the sick way like as if im the smartest guy on the earth, or im this and im that, It's just that a lot of times I really do feel superior and I just tend to ignore stupid people (In this case people i consider stupid).
When I used to go to my high school, a lot of times I used to ignore kids I thought of being stupid, I have a philosophic view on lot of things, I mostly figure out and understand something much easier then somebody else (Now this is arrogance!) but still I don't feel like explaining something to somebody I don't consider my equal, we can hang but I'm avoiding you!
But here goes the weird part, actually im pretty easy to get along with and a lot of people find me funny and entertaining, and deep inside I really do feel superior and that's kinda bothering me even though I don't really care what people think of me, but let's just see if you think if this is normal or not?

    There is always one smarter than you, never forget this. For example, I'm smarter than you.

    I used to be like you. It never got me anywhere. And a few years later I found out my friends were mostly crappy friends because I wasn't able to make friends with people that really knew how to be good friends. I got what I deserved I guess.

    You're not superior. No one is.

    I am the same, I have become very philosophical and I consider very few people my intellectual equal now. Religious people I could never consider as truly clever, because their minds are so closed

    In my experience, those who feel superior to others truly are not. They have the feeling of not being adequate enough. Your feelings are normal, perhaps the people you think are stupid just have different interests as you.

    Remember, the bigger you get, the harder you fall. You may be intelligent, but you superiororty attitude is very unwise. and it will turn on you at times.

    dude you feel that some people are beneath you? im sorry but who are you to judge? youd be amazed the skills and knowledge some of these people have that you could never understand! i understand being smarter than someone, but remember that things have an aweful funny way of leveling out the playing field. one guy can be "dumb" but have full comprehension of mechanics. someone can be "philisophical" and no nothing about how to get a woman. we all have are specialties.

    Don't worry, you are not superior. Your grammar and spelling makes it abundantly clear. So you can relax.

    Wow! Arrogance is a stretch honestly.... What you describe is really more along the lines of a (borderline) narcissistic personality disorder. Google it, and read the descriptions about the "disorder"... Fortunately you don't sound too bad really, but you could definitely use a healthy dose of reality there.

    Always try to keep in mind that no matter how intellectually superior you perceive yourself to be, there is ALWAYS someone out there who actually IS intellectually superior to YOU. The other thing to remember is, even though you MAY actually be superior to "other people" in some ways (possibly in MANY ways), 99.99999%% of the time there is at least ONE thing that the "other person" is SUPERIOR to YOU, even if it is something as simple as being more humble than you are. -Get the idea?

    In other words, try to be humble dude... If you let your head get too big, it's REALLY going to hurt when the day comes along that someone bursts your bubble. -And like some other folks said in their comments above, that day WILL come eventually... *POP!*

    Seriously though, no matter what, keep those "superior" thoughts to yourself when amongst your peers... AND if you find that these thoughts are preventing you from befriending otherwise good people, you may want to consider speaking with a therapist about this issue... Don't ever be afraid to improve upon yourself. If you always choose to remain the same, or always think yourself to be better already and never needing improvement, then you will ultimately make yourself to be an ignorant person in the eyes of your peers... -And keep in mind that ignorance breeds stupidity in even the most intelligent persons.

    Good luck to you , and God bless!

  • Judging from your written expression - you've not a lot to brag about. Having a big head and being puffed up with a conceit of "feeling superior" is nothing to brag about. Do you do anything extraordinarily well? I'm skeptical. Hence the phony trip. And that is just sad.

    It's perfectly normal, a lot of people view themselves that way. But unfortunately, that doesn't stop it being irritating as hell if you express it openly. You might not care what people think of you atm, but you'd be amazed at how lonely it can get on your own, so just watch the way you present yourself to others :)
