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.
Trying to do away with it, but idk how to succeed :/
I have always felt I’m more aware. Versus people who were in my locality, school, etc, I ended up doing better in life than most. And while in the larger scheme of things, it’s not like I’m killing it, I felt like that gave a chip on my shoulder
What triggers these thoughts: just in conversations, social gatherings, talking to people
It’s random
Aware about what? Current affairs / geopolitics / India vs Sri Lanka match score?
Hangout with people who are smarter and doing better than you. You will learn your lesson.
Hmm Very true. I have been in rooms like that. But most rooms that I am in, it is the way it is.
Means you are not mature. You are not thing holistically. Being judgemental and thinking you are superior is a toxic mentality. Try and read books around this, which will Make you humble and non-judgemental.
I used to think same when I was in college and cracked a pretty good paying internship but now down to 1 years spending time with senior Engineers in company, I think I don't know a shit compare to what I was thinking about in college
It's a good sign that you are aware of your complex. Don't hate yourself as not everybody realises this on their own. When you feel like that, try to acknowledge it instead of ignoring it. Slowly over a period of time your thoughts change and see everyone as equal. If you are comfortable, try journaling your thoughts and find the pattern of it. That might also help.
Hey, thanks a ton for saying that Journaling is a great idea, I’ve been wanting to get to it for some time but never did it
I guess being more watchful of my thoughts should be a good thing to do.

Good advice^ it's futile to fight negative thoughts, they only increase in weight and occurrence. Need to analyse the thought and let it pass. Use anything you can and discard the rest.
For ex - if you realise some person doesn't understand much about geopolitics, change the subject to something else they do know about/are interested in and so are you.
I have been treating myself like shit lately.
I have 100s of people who root for me but my mind pin points my emotional bandwidth on the ones who only see the "incapable" or "unworthy" side of me.
Whenever I think highly of myself, a ...
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?
The obsession I regret the most in my life is the all or nothing behavior.
Where,
I don't know if this post would make sense, but does anyone ever wish they were less? Less competent, less "bright", less "smart"? I'm not being braggy but I am pretty smart (not book smart but smart smart) and while objectively I am doi...
Hi Guys, I'm an SDE and I have this weird problem where I stress too much when some work is given to me which I don't understand.
Basically I'm not scared of high workload, as long as I know how to do it. Because then I know IT WILL BE ...
