Hi Grapeviners, I don’t think I’m a bad person but I do consider myself superior to some friends from same background who I earn a lot more than.
Do you also feel this superiority, or are you indifferent?
I never feel superior to the ones I am earning more than, but rather feel inferior from the ones who I secretly know earn more than me (I never ask salary, no matter how close the friendship). I know comparison is a thief of joy, but I can't help it.
Like lee007 said above, I am also proud of what I have achieved today. From not having 5rs to eat vadapav during college days, not being able to crack exams at 80-90% (was always at 60%), having heard "kya aukat hai re teri?" to being a CTO of a fancy startup. I pay more in tax than some of these friends' CTC.
I feel superior too but that's because despite having enough hard cash at hand to buy a BMW, I still live within the means. I have what it takes to be in control of myself. Never had a drink or a cigarette in my life. I am glad that I have supporting wife. Owe alot to parents :)
For whatever reason. I have a superiority complex because I’ve done okay relative to my humble roots.
But while I am nice in person, mentally I often feel superior and smarter. And I don’t like that I think that way.

While many people judge you based on how much you earn, after a certain point jealousy and cunningness takes over.
People will tend to expect you to help them financially, and never return the money back thinking you got it in abundance...
