Do you often feel intellectually superior to others?

Its not that you are really smart, its that everybody else is really dumb.

greetings all,

for me, i do not feel that i am superior or inferior to anyone. we all have our path that we are following and no one is ahead or behind. i believe that we are all exactly where we need to be. now, when it comes to me talking about something that i am fluent in, then yes, i get frustrated that the other being cannot keep up. then, touche, they are more fluent in a topic that i have no clue about. funny how that works!

with peace,

Sometimes I feel intellectually superior, sometimes I feel intellectually inferior. I know through testing that I am smarter than 99% of the population, which means I AM intellectually superior to nearly everyone in the room all the time, but I also miss the easy things that make me feel dumb. I also acknowledge that mental capacity, the ability to be smart, is luck-of-the-draw genetics and not something I earned or did to deserve. It is also not an indicator of life success. So, in the end, it is a characteristic of myself that I cannot call either good or bad.

i do, a lot, mainly because all the people in my area say incredibly stupid things (oh also they are arrogant, homophobic and racist....but too lazy to act on anything they say), talk about moronic subjects are generally just face palm worthy.


i have an IQ of 132 so i know im at least reasonably smart, thats better then their probably 90 or 95 average.
