Why Do People Think They Are Better Than Others?

You should go for what you believe in. Some of us just show you or lead you to a path or method. But it's always up to you how you polish things as you see fit. On your own time and on your own pace. Perhaps some of those people are just envious of your creativity. lol.

hi PhillyDremer, I so agree with you...I have also accomplished some pretty terrific task in my life, I have been some fantastic places, I seen some very special people in my life and through it all I find myself being very humble about them...I count my blessing for my accomplishments but I don't ever brag about anything , except my children, for which I am totally guilty of...But as far as putting others down and making them feel not so good about' themselves, is not my thing.. I am just the opposite,,making others happy makes me happy. But remember there are jackazz'es everywhere....

Yes , I know some people like that , but , I try to stay away from them , I really dont like that kind of people it make me feel down even when I dont want to. The best thing is to be rounded with possitive, humble and respectful people. People who are telling u what to do and hurrying up us are not good for our health , they will stress us , so, just let them be and have their own place , we look for our confort. God bless you my friend.

Hi PhillyDreamer, I think they have the orientation since birth that they are the best. Maybe, their parents in a way inculcated in their deepest part of their brain that they are the superior ones. I have been meeting a lot of that everyday and I just ignored them sometimes, but most of the time, I tend to show them what I got and in a way, it can help in putting an end to their selfish or boastful ideas and action.

I can understand you on that bro. Honestly i used to be one of those people. I am getting better at it tho. Sometimes people do it with no concience but for me, i didnt realize i was doing it. I got called out alot on it, and came to the conclusion that everyone aint sayin the same thing for no reason. So thats why im at this mid life crisis im in now! I ran alot people off like that also. I always looked at the bad and never the good. I justified everything i did wrong, but anyone else, there is no excuse for it. And jus reading your post, i can understand how that person can cause you to feel that way, because thats the response i got from my friends. I used to use my accomplishments as a motivator for who i was. And looked down on others. But i hope i grow to get better and i hope your friend does to, because that type of life will eventually leave you lonely. So i clearly understand why you have a problem with those type people.

That's because everyone have his own mentality to think something or doing something.....

Just try not to show them that they're getting under your skin, that feeds their ego a lot, starve them by making them non-existent or put them off to a lesser, way lesser value just like when one sees a dog poo - if it cant be help that it's within your immediate vicinity hold your breath move out of that area & never give an eye glance to it. If somehow you keep on bumping to these type of the lesser creation of the human race identify their natural enemy, one that cowers them, get these to your side and boom! the egotistical would suddenly keep itself away from you all the time. Works for me all the time, you might even get some kick to it. Bottom line, never give value to this types of people, not even allowing them to get you disturbed by them not for a moment.

I think that there are some people who just have to believe that their way is the right one. their opinions and views are the only ones that matter to them. Putting themselves above others is their way of keeping themsleves seen in a higher light. thinking that they are better than someone else gives them confidence. it can be aun tue confidence,but one that they are willing to believe in.

It is a fear of someone being better I think many times. There are times where to be the best, people feel the need to exclude pretty much all competition a lot of the time. Of course, there are just many times right out there that without competition, without someone to set a new bar that you can jump over, there are just not going to be all that far a lot of the time. There are just going to be many times where I think that people just feel like they need to be comfortable in a certain area. Not realizing that competition and new standards are going to breed more success. The bar keeps raising, you keep doing better. If you are the peak, what are you really going to strive for? If someone wants to accomplish something, that's great, I'll just have to work a little better. It is all in good fun after all.

You know what, I saw people like that in a bunch. Actually, my part - time job manager, she is one arrogant person, she thought that she is better than everyone else. Well, on this job, she probably know the food better than everyone else in the restaurant, when she get out of that establishment, she simply know nothing. She doesn't know computers; she doesn't know financial law, she simply just like a fog in a well. She can see a little bit of the sky, and she thought that is the whole universe. I felt sorry for people like that.

I too have problem with this kind of people, they are really annoying and I dont like to be around them. They are judging and commenting my life as if their life is so much better than mine, hey just because they are married and have kids it doesnt mean their life is much better than mine. Im a student and I want to pursue my dreams before I get married, hey Im not that old Im not even 30 and i said whats wrong with these people. or people who commented at my life just because they have talent at one thing where Im not really good at, but actually I have got so many achievements in life and I bet they couldn't do what I do. I think they are actually insecure with their own life and they actually jealous of us, they know they cant compete us and they tried to bring us down by making ridiculous judgement about our life, tried to tell us what to do.

It is a very sad and insecure person who has to try to make themselves look good by putting others down. Eventually things will catch up with them as they can't go on doing this without consequences.

You're just very angry tonight aren't you :) Variety is the spice of life! This is both a good and bad thing. The egotisticals are right in there with the rest of the bouquet. Don't worry too much; you'll have a good day again soon to balance this out.
