Oh hello thread I have been waiting for. Yeah, I'm naturally cold and egomaniacal. Which is of course made all the much worse by the fact that I'm smart enough to merit being cold and egomaniacal. Did I mention that I love that about me?

I don't know. Sometimes, I feel a little inferior because I'm not doing things people my age are doing. But I never really act my age, so that trumps the inferiority complex. Plus, every person is different with their strengths and weaknesses.

I'm thinking this is probably an aspie thing. I feel like I am better, smarter, just all around superior to everyone around me. I think nt's are dumb, selfish, weird. I am simply better than everyone else. (: Anyone feel the same?

Oh yeah.

I'm definitely surrounded by idiots. Those people who think they're superior are often quite shallow and ramble a lot without any real substance. Narcissism is a common human condition.

No. Not really.

Totally off topic, but is your latest avatar the dragon from "Ivor the engine"? A magical TV programme from my childhood. They don't make 'em like that any more.

Yes, it is. I changed it for St David's Day, but I might keep it a while. Ivor the Engine was my favourite programme when I was really young. Pssshhhtk, Pssshhhtk, Pssshhhtk

I agree, intellect doesn't define someone and neither does money. If someone had the means and privilege to receive a better education or had better awareness at an early age which helped them with schooling, that's good but it doesn't make them better than anyone else. Money isn't an indicator of character either because it can be stolen or inherited. I think the people to be respected are people that devote their life to serving a selfless cause through science, art or another means.

I don't understand the God superiority complex in other people on the spectrum, it won't help us integrate in society but only isolate us. I am grateful that I have been given opportunities and chances, it is a privilege and certainly not an excuse to look down on others.

I don't see the point of living your life like a competition, it's not about winning or comparing yourself to others, it's about achieving something for yourself that is personal and meaningful.

Well you certainly aren't the only aspie that feels that way from what I've seen, but no I personally have no superiority complex.

It's also interesting how many people on the spectrum complain about not receiving enough empathy, acceptance or gratitude, yet they aren't willing to show empathy themselves and act elitist towards people that are different from themselves.

I am better than everyone. the only time I get jealous of someone is their social skills. when they are able to fit into a group instantly when it took me months to start to. But other than that, I'd say the majority of people are just idiots in all other aspects.

I suppose I sometimes do, but I've also noticed that there are plenty of NTs who feel better, smarter and superior to everyone else. What's especially sobering is that plenty of these people have no business feeling superior, which says something about my own attitudes.

You won't get very far with that attitude, maybe they would be more accepting and empathetic if you didn't walk around with your head up your rear.
