How do you know if you have a Superiority complex?

FIGJAMs - I rekon they have a superiority complex.

People who think like this get a bit confused - just beacuse they are above average in something - it means that they are better people generally than all those who aren't as good in their field of talent. Sad but true.

The funny thing is, usually better you are at something, usually some other area of your life has to suffer. Take a look at autistic sauvants for example. They may be brilliant at telling you instantly what day you were born given your DOB, but they couldn't do something really simple like figure out a train timetable. They also struggle to relate to people.

Don't get me wrong - confidence is a good thing in moderation. Confident people generally don't let fear stop them doing what they want to do. But it CAN go too far :)

I feel superior to religious people because I have a little chart in my head; the more religousness on the x axis equals more ignorance on the y axis.

"The more things you try, the less things you are good at."

for some reason sometimes i feel inferior... then immediately i feel superior, because i'm me.

i think i might just have a superiority complex as well =D


i really don't think it matters, as long as you love and are loved, understand and are understood. if you find yourself arguing and knowing everything all the time, maybe it's time to start listening?
