I always shut down when, when making his or her or their point, he or she or they reminds me that he or she or they know that they are better and smarter than I am. But, I do guffaw...
Thinking about this requires the ability to hold a complex thought and that requires work. It’s easier to just grab onto one aspect and block out or ignore the rest. Some people, unfortunately, are genuinely unable to hold a complex thought and some are just lazy. Those are the ones who see this in terms of black and white and think in terms of absolutes.
I will say this, in all sincerity, isle. At least you are flummoxed when I point out your spurious claims to be better than people who disagree with you.
Curt and po simply say, in effect, "D@mn straight!"

That's one of your beliefs that has its roots in your inferiority complex.
It's a common one, the fear that "someone" might think they are smarter than them.
One thing you can do to help you overcome that is to try not to worry so much about what other people might think.
