I think i'm better than others.

I've always wondered if anyone felt the same... Whenever I see someone be creative and say something, I always think to myself: "I could do this better." ... So I'm never afraid when people challenge me or anything, because I'm SURE I'm going to win..
And in school I often think that I'm smarter than the others.

I know it's quite annyoing and arrogant.
And it's a bit embarrassing since I'm a girl.

But do anyone feel the same?
Or am I just plain weird and too confident?

    This is a natural reaction to being shunned early in school life - a common 'comfort' to outcasts is that they are better in some way to the people being mean to them. Often the coping mechanism of 'I'm better' is so well ingrained it becomes part of your instinct. It is not necessarily a bad thing (it's good to have ambition) but it is important to humble yourself and NEVER show others how you perceive the situation. There will always be persons better than you, even if they are not immediately apparent, so be grateful for your ability and remember you are not perfect so it is still possible for you to lose. ;) Other than that, keep the confidence going!

    I think I feel if I were given the opportunities another talented person was, I could have beaten them at it. I like fantasizing that way, keeps me sane.

    Where can your art be publicly viewed? Surely if it is so great it's in a nationally recognized museum somewhere or for sale in a gallery... Let me know so I can check it out... Thanks Picasso.

    i'm a multi-talented artist who can manipulate 12 different mediums into beautiful works of art. i'm bi-polar, an artistic genius i've been called, i have a 130 i.q. i met many an artist when i lived in asheville north carolina. all well-known, all had extensive training, but truthfully i had more talent in one hair on my butt then all of them put together and i'm self-taught. i've never felt intimidated cos i knew i had more talent than they did. when i told them all the mediums i work in their expressions would warp from general smiling interest into pure envy. but i never let my talents go to my head. i'm extremely proud of my humility i like to say. it's foolish to think we're better than someone else. really does it matter if we are? what's the outcome of thinking such? the reward? should we single out people with talents comparable to ours and then strive to be better still? compete to death just to be better? what's the point? the truth is there will always be someone out there who excels in the things we're good at. as a male i admit that girls are smarter than boys. if you're an artist that will make you naturally smarter. confidence is normal, over-confidence is folly.

    Well, this isn't a problem, and you are normal.
    Over-confidence can often result from this type of thinking, and as this isn't all that major, I wouldn't worry too much, just think of that everyone has equal chance, but those who won were lucky.

    I used to feel that way a lot when I was younger. Now I laugh at my past self's foolishness (no offense, that's just my personal experience :P) So yeah, you're normal.
