Sorry if this isn't the right place for this thread, I wasn't sure where to put it.

Bit of info I'm 21, been smoking cannabis since 14, started abusing LSD between 16-18, have used methamp IV and other substances on rare occasions over the past 2 years. Cannabis is my drug of choice I smoke nearly each day.


Anyway over the past 6-12 months In my mind it feels like I deal with idiots all day(mostly my friends or others i hang with) who don't think the same way as myself. I feel bluelight has changed how I used to think, to how I should think (the right way) in regards to drug use, relationships etc. I'm not complaining about knowing things but the problem seems to be when in real life people do things wrong, or give misinformation about things instantly I think( what an idiot, speaking with no experience and only listening to what the next person told them and never thinking for themselfs) and I have to correct them, but in doing so I feel like I'm naturally being better then them(I've never tried to act or be better then anyone else)

I would say most people can probably keep their emotions and thoughts in check when dealing with idiots, but it really gets to me..to the point I'd want to see that person get harmed. I've always read people thinking they were above others after using psychedelics and in the past this has been present in my mind but I never thought past it. But now when someone lies, talks shit.. etc I feel this rage inside, and I feel I have to correct them with a hidden agenda to 'attack' them so they feel stupid for speaking whatever they said in the first place.

I guess my mentality when going into conversations(by default now) is that I'm above most and most don't have the life experience or general knowledge I've gained through using bluelight over many years the way I do. This isn't something I'm proud of, I don't like feeling or acting this way, it's more of a mind set once something comes up..I feel I have to be the top dog the "know it all"

Does anyone else have this problem? Could it be a deeper lying problem then just thinking I'm more 'superior' and be a sign of a mental condition? And I relise my best bet would be to see a psych and explain this, but I want to hear from other people first.

FA.

This is interesting. Just remind yourself that there will always be someone "better" than you in some way.

I don't see much of a problem here besides the rage aspect. Yeah you're gonna want to get that in check because having anger and rage towards others can really eat away at you. But! At the same time its a sign of mental health IMO, because like psyoil said it is your awareness coming out.......share your insight with others.

I can really relate to this. I have always had similar thoughts, and actually lately people who lie to impress piss me off so bad.....but remember what you don't like about an other is reflections of your own self, what I've been told (I don't know if I really believe that so much but its usually true).

And as a fun experiment I like to do is play the lie game with liars.....it may sound juvenile but really you're losing nothing and its very funny when you know 80% of what they are saying is COMPLETE BS, why not indulge a bit in their own game....it can be fun, lol.
 
Best way to deal with idiots in my experience is simply to let them be idiots, they seem to enjoy it so why not. I get what you're saying though, when it's your friends or relatives (that you like) then it can get tricikier, you dont want to seem like you're putting yourself above them. And you shouldn't, do that I mean, instead just make it a story instead. Avoid being bombastic and people who like you will generally at least try to see if maybe you have a valid point.

How's your relationship with your parents? Other family members?
How do you feel about authoritative figures (police officers, teachers, etc)?

You're still pretty young too.. 21..
:tilts head:
 
You may be growing up, evolving.
Distancing oneself from 'idiots' isn't the worst thing in the world. It's totally normal to grow out of things you used to do with your friends.
I've had similar experiences (on drugs) where I was sizing up people all day long, and then it'd go away the next day. Then come back days later, and so on. As long as you are the one that's right about a certain issue keep it up. Hint to people that you know exactly when they're BSing. They may stop. If they don't. I say screw them!!
 
I'm the same, but not to the point where I feel rage or harm should come to my friends when they state something about a drug which is completely false.
I also correct them when I know what has just flowed out of their mouth to be absolute rubbish and most of the time they listen with interest and trust in my knowledge.
All my friends are aware I do a lot of research into the drugs I take (unlike many of them I have to say!) and come to me when they have questions.
Their stupidity and blind appreciation for the truth does get to me though sometimes.
 
If you honestly feel you are above EVERYONE you know then yeah you might wanna chill on the psychedelics and realise that that is a negative trait for someone to have which could pretty much place you in the dick category.

If you feel this way about a select few people that actually are idiots then why hang around with them? You can either try and correct their errors as they say them or ignore them.. You can either pull them up on their lies or ignore them. Or you can simply find new friends? Being misinformed doesn't make them a dick.. just let them know they're talking bollocks.

could be. Its best not to compare yourself to others though; you are gonna be 'better' or 'cleverer' than some people, but some people are gonna be 'better' and 'cleverer' than you. I admire really talented clever people who dont let this go to their heads and become all arrogant and superior. Its a character flaw to let that happen. I have it too.

I think maybe its about controlling your ego, feeling/acting superior is not a nice attitude to have, and does make you a bit of a shit really. Sorry if that sounds harsh but ive had the same problem myself for many years so please dont take it personally, its the behaviour im on about, not you as a person.

I had a huge problem with one immensly ignorant yob at work who thought he knew it all and literally had verbl diarehhea and wouldnt shut up for one minute all day, constantly talking about his opinions as if they were facts, and that everybody should do things his way cos he knew best. We both loathed each other. I dunno if any of that is any help.
 
you sound exactly like my friend also 21 so am i. he told me multiple times he thought he was better then everyone else. then one day i asked him why do you feel that way and he justified it by simple saying...he was better then everyone else. I was like o that's cool as long as your not fucking with people. but apparently pretentious people are fucking with people. i generally believe that this is how the world works obviously the top dog is going to be at the top, but once he is there he is just going to keep fucking with people that are already being tormented from being idiots anyway. its just not good for society in general if every top dog thought this way(and most top dogs are this way actually) even people who believe they are top dogs and really they are not believe this(which is the real problem here). so really the world would be better off without this feeling, thats why i always ward off feelings of superiority because i may end up being some asshole like hitler
