Do you ever feel like you are superior to those around you? And is it wrong to feel that way?

No, what makes me different makes me not want to fit in. I'd rather be human.
 
I've almost never felt superior to anyone unless that person is being and acting like a real bag of shit. Like treating the waitress like garbage for no reason, or making someone, who they don't know, have a hard time over nothing. That makes me feel superior. But I don't know if that makes me actually feel superior or just simply that I'm not that person, who I also consider might be at rock-bottom or their breaking point.

I've definitely felt as though I've thought of things on a deeper level than some of my peers, but there are people I've met much smarter, fitter and more efficient than me so it's an open-ended concent to begin with. What is superior? I might be faster than that guy over there but he might be stronger than me. You might be fitter than that fat ass but he might be able to strip a car and rebuild it. You're not superior to anyone you just think you are based on what you personally know, which is always limited.

I sometimes feel that the people around me aren't living life to the fullest potential, and I sometimes get the feeling that I am better than them, whether that's because I am in better shape than them, I utilize my spare time doing productive things, or whether I just think I am smarter or in better spirits than them.

Do you ever feel that way about the people around you?

And does me feeling this way make me a shit person?

MOTHERFUCKER, you are posting on this website right now. living life to its fullest potential, my ass.
(I'm no better)

to answer you,

I get that feeling only sometimes. it depends on the company I keep at the moment. I usually feel like I need to be around people who are doing better than me, it's an uncomfortable feeling and I dislike it, so I seek out my betters when I can and keep my eyes and ears open.

it only makes you an asshole if you say anything about it, like this thread basically.

Feeling better than someone else is not inherently a bad thing. Just so long as you recognize the importance of balancing humility with confidence.

Frankly, there are a lot of awful people in life who will try to make you feel worse than them, and it's a good thing to be able to deny their authority over you and recognize your superiority over their bullshit if that's the truth of things.

Something I wrote on another thread seems relevant here.

But you're never alone when you develop a narcissistic personality aka god complex. If humans create meaning then you can imagine that everything you do is the most important aspect of existence and it's perfectly okay and no one can stop you or be condescending to you. Therefore the power has shifted to you and the suffering of being alone goes away. Instead of being jealous of what you don't have, you create a situation where you feel that everyone should want to emulate every detail of your personality and if they don't think that then they are fucking r e t a r d e d because you know in your heart that every single person on this planet has no fucking clue why they do the things that they do and therefore no matter how elegant their appearance is, it is all an illusion and that in reality everyone is on the same field of intelligence. It's very important to see yourself as already being the ultimate being because the alternative is feeling that you are stupid and that is not true. Everything is an illusion and all you are doing is paralyzing yourself by thinking like that. So let your dreams tell your brain that they already exist as you. You don't need anything and you don't need to explain yourself to anybody and if nobody understands you and denies to connect with you, then nobody is worth your interaction. They are complete shit like the insects you kill everyday. People can be aggressive and disagree with you and it's okay but never let them pull you down. It's better for them to wound you physically then for them to make you think you are not a "good person" and that you're "doing the wrong thing" If you allow that, you are being tricked. It's possible to be open to new information without having to destroy your ego. Your intelligence will be alienating and you should make that a source of strength.

Don't let ANYONE stop you from being who you are.

Superior to individual persons? Oh yes, especially the ones that demonstrably can't do what I can do, like show up for work on time and when scheduled.

Superior to "people", no.

Disconnected? Not thinking of the same things? Not assigning everything the same values judgements? All the time. But I'm not possessed of a big enough ego to assume that makes me BETTER somehow.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to feel like you are superior to those around you. The superiority complex is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of your micropenis most of the delusions of grandeur will go over a typical lonely moron's head. There's also the need to have a nihilistic outlook, which must be deftly woven into your characterization - your personal philosophy draws heavily from trying to break into a saturated market and become famous for puking out unoriginal opinions while playing overdiscussed pleb tier video games, for instance. You understand this stuff; you have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of your worthlessness, to realise that you're not just unfunny- you deeply need to END YOUR LIFE. As a consequence people who don't feel the need to scrounge for attention on a forum dedicated to stalking and harassing the mentally disabled truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in sending @A Hot Pizza straight to an autistic shemale's doorstep, which itself is a cryptic reference to Dark Souls 3 or whatever, video games are literally toys and will never be art. I'm masturbating right now just imagining things I don't feel the need to tell you about, just wanted you to know I'm masturbating and also you should kill yourself.

And yes, by the way, none of us would be REMOTELY surprised if you have a Rick and Morty tattoo. Kill yourself. Nothin personnel kid 8)

Edit: Someone in the comments said this:

So, here's the thing- I believe that Charlie allowed this to appear as a failure. He wasn't actually given a placebo, but this was Frank enacting his plan to put Charlie back as the foundation of Paddy's pub. A commenter online (who I'm just taking at their word #honorsystem) said that much of Charlie's Mandarin was accurate, but with a really thick and racist accent. His math, was 9+9= Box which could be that he was doing simple measurements for what size of glass case would allow the cat showed in this video to have adequate space and not urinate on the glass. His literary references to Shakespeare and War and Peace are entirely accurate as well, showing and incredible faculty for memory. His knowledge of the Scorpion and the Frog fable ties directly into his 'experiment' as well. I think that he finally saw the lengths to which Frank was willing to go after paying the waitress to have dinner with Charlie, and he realized that he can't give up his relationship with his father that he divorced (can we talk about this please?). The Scorpion and the Frog is an animal fable that seems to have first emerged in 1954. On account of its dark morality, there have been many references to it since then in popular culture, including in notable films, television shows, and books. Basically, the Scorpion makes a deal with a frog to cross a pond, and kills the frog, dooming them both to drown. The reason that the scorpion gives is that it is in its nature to sting with its tail. Charlie, while he is surrendering to Frank (tying together the War and Peace elements) is showing that by overcoming one's toxic nature, and using communication, peace, and coexistence are made possible. The use of the Cat and Spider is used because these are creatures that Frank and Charlie deal with constantly. This is accented by all the previous episodes in which Charlie expresses feelings of being 'unheard' and being 'at war' with the entire gang. The message is lost on the gang, and Charlie, forfeiting his chance at greatness, cheerily goes back to playing the fool to watch Police Academy. He sells the moment, with a heroic storm out with the high on gasoline friends of his, 'Stupid Science Bitches' not realizing that their placebo was an unnecessary ingredient in an already active genius, playing the fool.

The rabbit hole never ends.
