It depends on your situation. Perhaps you feel a sense of pride in who you have become and there is nothing wrong about that. Remember to appreciate others value and balance it out that no one feels inferior.
Why do I feel better than everyone else?
I used to feel like this till I was told I was biased and I have finding a lot of better people than me, in every good deed.
But me feeling this way was based on positive life choices, social support systems, ability to have fluent facial expressions, all around performance and dedication of my role it was based on my experiences that shaped me into dealing with common circumstances in daily life I was always ahead of my time and others my age even older people but most of all I think it was my ability to be humble enough to learn from everything and everyone without having to live there experiences myself.. I wasn't better but I felt better cuz life was good cuz I was happy most of the time happier than many people out in the world. Although Never have I thought people were less of a person than I am or that people aren’t deserving or even that people were beneath me it was more so based on observation of what could have been levels of happiness represented in them as a person and how much more content and satisfied I was than most people even though I was not a richest one. Don't let people's lack of happiness alter your own, be gratitude and feeling thankful every day! Thankyou. :-)
Warmly with love!
Because you finally learned that you are an amazing human and that people can be rude and treat others badly but you are not like that
Some people are just happier than others. It's not a weird thing. It's just who some people are. Some people are more creative, or maybe more energetic than others. It's just who you are.
Yes, often I feel better than everyone else, actually, most of us do, but at certain points in our life. The secret to feeling better than everyone or being the happiest person on earth is to stop where we are, then take a step back and look at the things we have achieved or have or have left and try to be stasfied with that , and then again keep going foward!
After that, everyday after waking up, say 'I'm happy with whatever I have at the moment.' Now what if you simply cant feel satisfied with what you have and you feel you want more and more? Well, cant blame you, that is human nature. But the good news is, we dont have to change, we just have to learn to control our temptation.
Although, a wise man once said, 'If there was an automatic ranking for happiest persons on earth, we would have a new winner for the no.1 spot every minute! And thats not a joke, it's a fact!' So, yeah, I feel satisfied with what I have been, that is why I feel better than everyone else, but if that 'person' is right, he sure is, then this feeling is not gonna last for long and it does last for long. One has to be truly satisfied and stay that way for this feeling to be permanent.

I feel special. God made me special, I have been through a uncontrolable situation which really change me into a flexible person
Standards my friend. Yours are higher compared to the ones of the people around you. You either work hard and feel rewarded or just don't allow yourself to feel down. Still high standards to feel great all the time. Good for you!

Sometimes it's not that you feel better than everyone else, it's just that you're in a different place in your life than others.
My own thoughts and feelings. Nobody can feel the way I feel and nobody can guess what I am thinking
Maybe its because you think you have it better than everyone else, be it good looks, personality, money, etc. However, thinking you're superior to others only makes you inferior.
If I feel better than everyone because I have done something wonderful or have achived my target or goals then that is acceptable and I will probably be in cloud nine for some time. But , if I feel better and everyone is not then there are two things to be aware of. First , If in a situation which is making everyone miserable , me feeling better could be because my recovery threshold is better than others and I could use my feelings to help others or give them some moral boost, Second, If I am feeling better and everyone around me is not , then I do have to look at myself a little more: why am feeling better... is it because I couldn't care or bother about the situation ...., is it because I have caused it on purpose.... , is it because my ego is taking charge of my responses.... ... Mmmmm
Because I have the skills that many people don't have... I am ambitious and I can do whatever I want.

because I can accept myself and make peace with my past, I know myself well enough, and I am grateful for that.
I feel better than everybody else because of my ability to analyze my problems and solve them using my skills. I believe that happiness, peace and love are everyone's right. I believe that to show love and care is important. I empathize myself. I love myself. I believe that I am a significant and important person equally important as everybody else. I love small things and find love in little things. I believe that everybody should serve themselves what they need before other. I believe that perspective makes the difference. When viewed positively we can find light even in the dark room of depression. I conclude by saying that we can either complain because rose bushes have thorns or rejoice because thorns bushes have rose

If you are in a good mood that would explain why you feel great about yourself, but be careful not to become full of yourself.

I feel loved, appreciated and blessed. I have been blessed with people that took the time to listen when I felt lost. It took some time before I recognized love within. Since then I feel very grateful with God and with the people around me.

I don't know how an individual could feel better than anybody else. Unless you feel that everybody is miserable and relative to everybody else. You feel better as you are happier. I don't know. I wouldn't know how to answer you question.
I believe i am a people's person. I love to be of any help to anyone around me. Also, i think i am patient and fairly an emotionally balanced person, i know the line between diplomacy and unhelpfulness. More importantly, i know how NOT to let my own past problems become a reason for unsupportiveness, i know how to draw a think line between them.
You probably have confidence and thats good but also never forget to be kind to everyone and most importantly be true to yourself

You might not have as many problems in life as they have, or you can just be a really positive person. Some people are always happy, always smile, just a pile of happiness, they laugh when people say bad things to them... You may just not have a care in the world.

You have pride. You like who you are and don't see a reason to change. You look at others and feel like they don't have things that you have or just don't seem to have it as well as you do?
This could be a superiority complex that stems from a narcissistic personality trait. But this also could just be an intellect superiority case. Which happens quite often after people go to university and re-enter the workforce. I would look into getting a comprehensive personality exam and narcissistic trait evaluation before concluding narcissism as the main cause as high narcissistic traits have some serious life implications that come along with it. Looking into your current experiences with people and friends would be a good place to start as well. Are your peer groups less educated than you, less traveled, less open, less read? These could make you feel separated metaphorically from those around you leading you to feel better than those who do not understand what you do.

You're just really happy about life, and some people aren't. But you know, that's okay. You love life and that's amazing.
Because you'd like to be better than everyone else - maybe your parents raised you to think you were somehow special (which may or may not have been true), or you peaked early in school and have been living off that high since. Maybe there is something special about you, who knows, but it would be wisest for you to remain down-to-earth and play to your objective strengths, all the while doing your best to improve in other areas. Then and only then can you even come close to fulfilling that vision you may have of yourself - best of luck to you.
Well, we all see our lives from our own perspectives. In other words, we are the protagonist of our own stories.
When we watch movies don't we often root for the protagonist?
In which case, those feelings are perfectly normal.
But then again it could be just narcissism.
(Then, depending on how "severe" the narcissism is, that person might have to look for help. )
Because you learned better than anyone else how to love your life and what you're doing! Feeling good isn't bad! Keep it that way, keep loving life! And she'll love you too
