Is it normal that i hate people smarter than me?

I consider myself really intelligent. Yet, I am not very ambitious, I never study and I am lazy most of the day. I act normal when I am with people and really try to avoid being a know-it-all.

However, I could never stand the thought of someone being smarter than me. In school, I was among the best in maths... but I always resented the few ones that were actually better than me at it.

I also hate it when someone knows more than me about a topic I have informed myself thoroughly. And well, I kind of dislike people that are more talented than me in certain sports or arts as well.

What I truly hate is the fact that I have this thoughts... so... am I normal?

    1. You sound like a jealous whiny bitch

    2. " I consider myself really intelligent. Yet, I am not very ambitious, I never study and I am lazy most of the day. " .....Well that sounds pretty fucking stupid to me.

    Doesn't matter how clever you think you are, if you can't be bothered to do anything, it's just plain moronic.

    • Well, ambition and intelligence aren't always related.

    Jealousy is relatively normal but very unbecoming and counter productive. It would behoove you to channel this emotional energy into some sort of professional ambition and attempt to learn from those you deem smarter than yourself. If you can't manage to do this on your own perhaps a few sessions with a professional might give some insight regarding your issues with jealousy towards those you feel are more intellectually gifted than yourself.

    Often times it is one's own insecurities that spark jealousy.

    I think G.G. Allin said it best when he said, "Well you hate me and I hate you. You never understand the things I say or do - So what's new? You never liked me so I say fuck you. You know, you know that you don't like me and I don't like you..."

    First, your question as well as several phrases in your post are grammatically incorrect, so you're not as smart as you think you are!

    I'd say you're in a world of shit because judging from your post, it must be difficult to find someone who ISN'T smarter than you are!

    • Well, sorry, English isn't my mother tongue. And well, I don't care that much about grammar knowledge... I am more into formal and natural science.

        A person whose grammar is poor isn't able to adequately communicate "formal and natural science" or any other alleged "knowledge" to others in any language. English is now the international language, so if you want to be successful in one of those fields in which you feel you are intellectually superior, it would behoove you to take a few courses in English grammar! Otherwise, you should probably stick to websites in your native tongue.

        • Well, thanks for encouraging me then. But honestly I don't find my English grammar as catastrophic as you are implying it is. I will still try hard to get better though.

    Wow. Some of you must hate everyone.

  • I secretly hate it when people are smarter than me, with a burning raging fire of unquenchable jealousy.

    I also hate people with the same intelligence as me who are really loudmouthed and cocky about it. Even my teachers get annoyed with those students. Be humble, asshole. No matter where I go I am surrounded by at least one person who knows what I do, but is a lot more adamant about shoving it in peoples faces.

    I am not as ignorant as my silence leads you to believe.

    I hate people who think they are smarter and start making up bull shit definitions. That deny thats the definition even when you literally pull the book out right in front of them.
