Is it normal to hate really smart people who act as if they know everything even though they don't?
Not that I hate all smart people but I believe that if I know something I don't have to show it off.
Do you know what I really love? I love it when I meet a very intelligent, and well educated person who can look me straight in the eye, and say, "I honestly don't know", when they don't know. People who can admit that they don't know everything, can admit when they're wrong, and can apologize are a real blessing in this self obsessed, 21st century world full of narcissists.
You hate people with superiority complexes because you have an inferiority complex, otherwise you likely wouldn’t care what others do or say.
Ooh,yeah... Just deleted the other one. I didn't notice that the other one got posted too.
Like I said in that one:
I always tell people, no one is perfect or sanctimonious than each other. We all live with mistakes.
In other words no one is ever smarter than each other, we only choose to learn the knowledge from each other.
No one is perfect, but, technically, some people are more sanctimonious than others. If you use the definitions of "making a show of being morally superior to other people" or "hypocritically pious or devout," then some people fit those descriptions far more than others. If you use the definition of "possessing sanctity : holy," then some people are far closer to that definition than others.
"Some people" isn't specific. I don't know how many people are sanctimonious, so I can't say "most people," as that specifies that it's more than half. I can't say "many people," as that implies a large number. I can say "some people," as that doesn't have any specificity besides just "more than one."
The other thing is that the show-offs just want attention while potentially putting others down. ( usually depends what is happening ).
Yes, it can be quite obnoxious. I don't believe anyone appreciates know-it-all behavior, and you're correct, if someone truly knows their stuff, there is no need to brag or show off. They are trying to convince not only others, but also themselves.
