I think I'm smart but I hate people who think they're smarter than everyone else.
I think I'm more self-aware than most people, but most people probably think they are more self-aware than I am.
I have a posh, upper class accent and vernacular, but I hate people who actively try to make themselves seem smarter by acting posh.
I crave praise and recognition for my intelligence that I think is higher than those of others but I despise people who describe themselves as "deep thinkers" or "intellectuals"themselves.

I'm in a very weird spot. I still somehow manage to not hate myself.

let me quote this trilby tipper

>> No.4583028

the "everyone's an idiot" thing is just a defense mechanism that you developed as a result of getting shut down a lot when you tried to talk about something as a kid/teenager. you inflated how intelligent and interesting those things were and go around upset that nobody cares about the dumb pseudointellectual things that come out of your mouth nor do they like it when you shoehorn the latest sloppy interpretation of a book you read into the conversation. shut up, get the chip off your shoulder, and take a look at who you really are. you're all 18+ it's nobody's fault but your own from here on out.
