Arrogant and insecure at the same time?!
Question: Arrogant and insecure at the same time!?
It's difficult for me to let myself believe most other people are as intelligent as I am!. I know, logically, that I'm nothing special in the intelligence department!. However, there's an ego struggle going on that simply refuses to let me emotionally acknowledge the fact that I'm not superior to people who can't form coherent sentences, won't look at issues with an open mind, and think in black-and-white terms!. In my heart, I believe everyone has a different form of intelligence and I know I'm not better than anyone!. However, I can't fully accept this idea!. On the other hand, it seems there's a paradox to my personality!. I am extremely insecure and feel inferior to almost everyone I meet!. How can I be so arrogant, yet feel so worthless at the same time!? Also, how can I change this!? Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Your arrogance is actually due to your insecurity!. If you didn't feel so insecure, you wouldn't feel the need to overcompensate by feeling overly superior!. It's a catch 22!. The best advice I can give is to get some therapy (if you really want to feel better) and probably some prozac!. I think it would help you not care about feeling superior or insecure!. It worked for me!. It doesn't numb you, just quiets your thoughts so you don't analyze your feelings so much!. I am in NO way a doctor, just giving some advice from personal experience!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
