Why do people always think that they are better?

Question

Why do people always have a "one up story" or can always do better then the last person? And why do they always have an opinon that is better then yours?

Answer 1

Ego and insecurity. We all like to think we know everything and our way is the best. If you are a secure person, you may think this on some level, but you are also aware that others have ways different from yours and you respect that and aren't threatened by it. If a person is insecure, he/she usually can't handle anyone doing better or thinking differently.

Answer 2

You have 3 different questions.
It boosts their ego to think others are worse than them.
They learn from the last person's mistakes and build on their assets
Only a person with inferiority complex always thinks like that; give yourself some confidence, sweetie!

Answer 3

their low-self esteem, they have to be that way to build themselves up by lowering people around them. Realty, if they knew they were really good at whatever, they'd be humble and let you have your moment knowing they are just as good. Confident people aren't threatened when they are not the center of attention, and the most confident people actually like to see others uplifted.

Answer 6
