The funny thing is that this person who set me off doesn't really know big words and how to use them... He just throws out these simple, worthless philosophical sentiments and random, common knowledge in an attempt to make us feel dumb, or imply that we don't know what he's talking about. He points to movies we're watching and says, 'You realise that's not a true story, don't you?'. I know I should laugh at that kind of stuff, but I lack the ability to convince him myself that he's an idiot... It's so frustrating. I just don't have the words or organisation of mind to come up with an arguement, and even if I did I'd probably never work up the resources to actually carry on the conversation aloud.
Kalamantianos- Ironically, I was a very humble person before this mental decay started happening. Now I'm always looking for reasons to think I'm better than others, intellectually, or putting others down in my own mind. It's probably because of all the times I've shown how stupid and out of my mind I am. I'm just trying to compensate.
It's really hard to laugh at yourself when everyone else is doing the same. I think the natural reaction is to go against the grain as far as that's concerned. If people don't think highly of me, I'm not content to be humble. That's all there is to it.
