Do you feel superior or inferior of others?

[Guardian]

I've been reading this side of forum for a while and I was wondering. How do you feel towards others?
More importantly, how do you feel towards those you dont know, those who you see on streets or at college/work but dont really consider friends but acquaintances at most.
The reason I ask is because what I noticed that so many people are nice here, but shy (shy, not quiet, there is a difference), so I'd like to know how you guys feel towards your surroundings.

I myself feel (probably a bit too much) superior over most of people around me (except for my closest friends who I see equally as I see myself). I am one of those who always feel like they are going to win. Funny thing is that I never show it to others, and I never hold a grudge (since obviously I dont win all the time) on someone nor do I treat them differently cos of that. Usually I am against cockyness and people who are full of themselves and continuously point it out, but that feeling of superiority has been very helpful to me since I also partly belong to the group of quiet ones as well.

So yeah, what about you guys?

I feel pretty neutral, actually
I try not to feel superior or inferior, because that kind of thinking is detrimental in both ways
Confidence heals, arrogance kills

With people I don't know, I can quickly tell (usually) if we just "click" or don't get along whatsoever.
With me, first impressions will linger until the next time I see you

Also, in school, I see everyone as either possible aids or enemies on the competitive front, especially if there's going to be a bell-curve kind of grading scheme

As for the first bold text, spot on.

As for the second one, lmao. And I doubt you'r alone on that one haha

No matter what I do, I feel feel inferior to others, because the way my classmates shown their work makes me worry if I did mine wrong. Dunno if it's my style or I was taught the old fashion way long ago.

 

[elnoor]

I cannot say I feel superior all the time maybe just things that I feel confident about. Things like art or games stuff like that. Do I show it probably not because of the shy factor.

 

[Altius]

I always feel inferior to others, which I guess is a good thing. This pushes me to continually improve myself, be it grades or personality.

I'd rather feel inferior to others than superior, because I worry about complacency a lot.

 

[maccrash]

I don't worry about my standing compared to others because life is not really a competition all the time and I see no need to treat it as such.

 

[Bellsprout]

I'm shy, but that's not because I feel inferior to others.

I feel neutral when meeting people. Honestly I wouldn't say I think better of myself or I think less of myself compared to someone else. You're either just annoying and I don't want to talk to you or you're cool and I do..

 

[Bounsweet]

It just depends on the individual. I would be lying if I didn't feel superior to some people but at the same time I do feel inferior to people who are my age and doing ish like travelling the world and spending all of their time on vacation. Tbh I think the latter is more bitterness than inferiority, damn their easy lives lol.

As far as strangers and people I'm unfamiliar with, I'm pretty neutral with them. If I ever develop a superiority/inferiority feeling with someone it usually takes time for it to come up.

 

[Shiny Bunnelby]

I'm neutral. Sure, I might be superior at some things compared to some people. However, those same people could wipe the floor with my sorry ass at a different activity.

I couldn't jump to conclusion when meeting new people for that reason. Life is definitely not a race or competition and circumstances could put you at ridiculous odds with others.

If someone has a skill that I share with them and project confidence in the skill, I'll assume they're better at it than I am. I'll also assume they know more about a skill I'm not versed in than they probably do. So I guess I would say I see myself as inferior in that way, but it's not really negative. I see it this way: either I'm right and they have a lot to teach me and will appreciate my humility, or I'm wrong and I impress them because I didn't make them expect too much.

It depends on the person. There are people I feel like I'm better than. There are people who I feel that I'm equal to. And there are people I feel like I'm lesser than. It depends on if I view them as talented, if they're physically attractive, if they're charismatic, and pretty much every other adjective under the sun. But usually I don't start to compare my worth as a human being with them until I start to get to know them.

 

[Alfieri]

I always feel inferior when it comes to History or Science classes but then I feel superior in Mathematics.

Besides school though, I consider myself an equal to everyone. I love equality. Of course there will always technically be superiors in terms of authority figures, but I guess I mean equality in more of a friends sense.

 

[Magic Christmas Lights]

I strongly believe that I am no more and no less than another person. I try to live by that.

 

[Metoro]

Im just a bit social akward when I sometimes don't know what to talk about, It's not that I am shy and don't dare talk about it :P
Anyone have any idea "what o talk about?" x)

Only when I need to directly assess whether I'm better/worse than someone at something! I'm rarely competitive, but if I do have opposition I like winning. If my competitive side was flared up and I knew I was going to lose hard at whatever said competition was after my wee assessment, I'd probably avoid said competition. If I reckoned it was easy pickings, I'd go and kick ass. So, I guess I've felt superior/inferior to others whenever I've needed to consider things like that.

I feel superior to most american people especially white and black people with low skill and only speak 1 language ( English) . The reason i feel superior than them because i speak more 1 than 1 language.
And i have to live in another country that is noy my own so i have to be tough.

Wow are you kidding me? Seriously, every time I see your post.

Ontopic: It's really interesting to see everyone's opinion :D

Remind me never to face off against you, if it comes down to who can be the best petty racist. I feel my inferiority in that regard will be shown up in a most glaringly obvious manner.

I really try to avoid people like this guy. But seriously, every time I see he posted on somewhere, I already know it's either an insult or something racist. And even then, it still puzzles me when I actually read the post. I'm surprised he hasn't been banned by now. (and it's sad that he's not even a troll, but a 12-ish year old with like, zero respect for anyone)
