I feel superior to everyone else around me. I look at others with pity, not malice. Why is that so wrong?

Question

Well abbasangel, there is a fine line between confident, and conceited- and it's relative to popular opinion. Also, to answer the great trend in this little QandA, I just said I don't treat people with malice, in other words I'm not going to be "mean" to them. I see people, in general, as one might view a small child, or someone who is autistic.

Answer 1

It may be seen as arrogance, I cop it all the time cos I am fairly self confident, not that I look down on others, but some people all ready have really fragile self-esteems, and just me being self confident is threating, I can't image how threatened they would feel by you...

Answer 2

How your SUPERIOR feelings developed is not that important now I knew I was SUPERIOR to those around me since grammar school. so I will not say having those feelings is a bad thing since you are asking this question someone has challenged you on the way you "act" that is where SUPERIOR feelings can take a dive for the worse. It's all in your actions and what you do with them.
you say you look at others with pity,DO YOU HELP THOSE WHO NEED IT? The hungry,poor,disabled and eldely,WHAT do you do with your SUPERIOR FEELING,not malice what kind of superior feeling is that.
You are human like the rest of us,yes I agree.
Superior feeling are not that unusual how you act and use them can be,is your mouth bitter and belittleing,when you open it see that comfort,encouragement come out it realy is up to you.
If you win a game or make a touchdown or see a poor person pushing a cart open your heart,show some gratitude,humulity it's not that hard to help another person.
You have a choice to make,do not just look at others with pity they don't want it or need it,but honestly try to help and befriend them and you will never regret it. Or don't open that heart of yours,use your superior feeling as you have been so you need to write another letter like this,and in my opinion don't admit there is one more SUPERIOR then all.
The choices we make about the roads we take,determin our destiny.
It's not that hard to change just ask.

Answer 4

hmm the reason it is wrong for you to feel so superior over everyone around you, is because it will inevitably interfere with your ability to show compassion for others. And you might have a hard time relaing with other people. Its feelings of superiority that keep the human race divded. Think about it. If everyone was empathetic towards everyone around them, and really was concered for the well being of others, no one would go hungry or suffer from stupid wars.

Answer 5

Because that attitude can be seen by others and you are probably disrespectful of others and patronizing them, while lacking a realistic view of yourself. People don't like being treated like that.

You sound narcissistic. Narcissism can even be a mental disorder if it's extreme. Have a look on the following links and see if any of it sounds familiar. That is, if you are able to be honest with yourself.

Answer 6

Because your not being honest.....know why?!? because you know your not superior and if i was standing next to you I would feel that pity for you just for saying that! You should really get over your self because all you be looking at is true loneliness in your future!

Answer 7

I've been like that my entire life because humans seem inferior to me. I've always been the one to do everything because most people will just stand there and do nothing.

Its not a good way to be though because you will carry a heavy load upon your shoulders like that, and in the end it doesn't really matter because humans are meant to fail and suffer for it.

Just live and let die.

Answer 8

Pride.

It's one of the 7 Deadly Sins.

Answer 9

You have way too much pride. Take a big breathe of reality dude.
And feeling superior can cause you to be very mean thus making people hate you.

Answer 10

You might be suffering from bipolar affective mood disorder...Illussions of grandeur are one of the signs...Do you speak directly to God or him to you?...Do you ever feel depressed? I know that you are probably joking around but hey maybe you aren't.
