Is it normal to think im better then everyone.

For someone who's great at writing, you're very liberal about the rules of grammar and punctuation. xD

I once thought I was great too, until I learned of the deep and intricate talents of my peers. I think we do tend to perceive ourselves as better, but it might just be because we use our own standards. But who knows, maybe you are really great.

u think ur betear then me in writing? pruv it

This means that although on the surface you believe you are superior, underneath it all you really feel like you are inferior to everyone.

What I'm trying to say is that, even though you believe in an intellectual level that you are great and all, intuitively...you still have a sort of low-self-esteem.

When you don't feel like you are good enough underneath, you have the need to show-off to others and gain others' approval to constantly confirm that you are talented or attractive or intelligent.

It is when you have established an inner belief of your abilities that you produce a consistent confidence - where you do not need others' approval of you anymore.

You feel depressed because when they do not acknowledge your abilities or achievements as the way you wanted them to, it gives you a confirmation to your subconscious message telling you that you aren't good enough is true.

To sum it up, yes this is normal. Everybody has low self-esteem at some point in their lives, most people have it during the majority of their lives.

However, this sort of problems goes away with more time and experience. - Experience consolidates your concept of your identity, therefore your confidence.

I hope you're a troll. Something tells me you're not.

If you aren't a troll, and you do in fact believe that you're superior to the rest of us, then you're going to have a horrible surprise later in life.

Hey Dudette:

I think that you have a GIGANTIC EGO PROBLEM!.

good that you have a good sense of self. constantly thinking you are better than others is not good. if you were that good, you would be world famous by now.
You may have not been corrected before, which is why you have got as far as you have with your superior behaviour.
The higher you are up the ladder, the harder you will fall. you will learn the hard way that there are better people than you and people less fortunate. Even if your achivements were a result of hard work, one thing you don't have is the ability to be down to earth.

its not a good look to come across pompous to others; with your attitude you are bound to wrong other people. that should be a warning sign to you if it is happening ie others not liking you ... you will lose loved ones and friends being like that.

Taste differs between humans. Your idea of "best" may not be seen as "best" by other people. You've set the bar too high for yourself. And the "bar" may not be in line with what others think as "best".

I think others don't think youre the "best" because
a) they actually may not think you at all worthy to be classed as the "best" or;
b) you're arrogant way you feel about yourself; they have seen it and has turned them off completely, totally oblitering your chance of being "best" in any way shape or form , to them at all.
And because they aren't giving you the attention you think you deserve being the "best", it is now giving you intense insecurities.

I would seriously rethink your stance in relation to those around you. Come down from your high horse, or the horse will one day bolt you off its back (figuratively speaking).
As I said, do it now or you will learn the hard way. Thinking you are greater than everyone is never good, it is a total waste of energy, and a total turn off.

you know what, go ahead, be an individual. greatness almost always, i'd argue, comes from strident individuality and a regal sense of shamelessness.

it is imperative, however, you do not deny others their rights and freedoms - don't put others down.

Is it normal to be a conceded and shallow bitch? You tell me.

From my perspective this is 100% normal. I have the same thoughts/feelings. I'm about ten years older than you and it's actually gotten better over time. I don't need other people's approval nearly as much as I used to. I think when you are above average in many things it is normal to think you are superior. If we are as similar as I think, then you probably know you excel at things because you put a lot more pressure on yourself than most people do. This is typically perceived as a good thing (in the U.S.) but I know that the downside is feeling you are never doing good enough. I highly recommend seeing a psychologist. I don't think I would have made as much progress as I have without one.

thinking you are better or worse then people is related to self obsession and ego, and neither are very healthy or productive.

Sounds like the narcissistic part of your personality is overruling everything else. What I mean is - we all fall somewhere on a spectrum when it comes to self-esteem, greed, agressiveness etc, but in your case, you're just higher up on the narcisstistic scale than the average person. It's quite usual that people with this heightened personality trait have much inner insecurity at the same time as giving off the appearance of a "perfect" exterior, just as you've described.

You've already recognised that this isn't necessarily a good thing, because as you yourself said: "something about my personality keeps me from reaching my full potential" and you're right. How can you reach your full potential when there is a voice telling you that you are the absolute best already? Where is the incentive to change for the better and improve?

It's good that you have the level of self-awareness to see how this is affecting you. Do you want to change? I'm assuming that there's a part of you that is concerned about this since you've posted it here and mentioned how it makes you feel depressed and hopeless at times. All I can say is, since you are aware of your situation, there's a good chance that you can overcome this if you want to.

To answer your question, I'm probably more of an opposite to your than similar to you.

This goes into more detail on what I was talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder
I'm not saying that you have a disorder or anything, nor that that will describe you accurately, but hopefully it'll give you more insight into narcissism.

Interesting how on the one hand you feel better than other people, and, on the other, are really dependent on pleasing & winning the approval of others to maintain that feeling.

I think you are right to say you have an issue. That's kind of sad because seems you have so many gifts.

Instead of being so competitive why not just try to tone it down a notch or twenty - and take a simpler pride in what you do & are.

Wow, what a big ego... that's just my first impression when I read that.

It's okay to be a bit selfish, but feel like you're superior to other is not good thing. They can't get past social mask of yourself, so they don't know the real you.
