Why do I feel better than everyone else?

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.

Maybe you had done something big that makes you feel proud and improve your level among people. You have a high level of self confidence and that's perfect

It sounds like you set high standards for yourself and expect the same from those around you. If they are not living up to the expectations you expect it may feel as if you are better than them because you are living up to those expectations. It is great to keep in mind that those around you may not have the same advantages that you have had. Others also may not hold themselves to the same standards you hold them. Putting yourself in their shoes is a great way to gain a better understanding of how they work.

It is possible that you are biased living in your own mind, we don't have the same opportunity to 'inhabit' other people as we do ourselves, so you may be comparing yourself invalidly. Perhaps if you got to know someone on a deeper level you would not feel as though you were better than them. Also, it is difficult to really know everyone else, the world is a big place, the current world population is 7.8 billion! Maybe meeting people you haven't before could expand your views or your perception of what "better" is. It can be unhealthy to compare people, since we are all different, we each shine in different ways :)

That is a bit of a complex question, really. It could be that you feel superior to the depiction of yourself in the mass media (girls, for example, are often seen as shallow or vindictive, making many girls feel better than other girls, because they have complex lives that aren't depicted on screens etc. The same applies to most minorities.) It might be that you have a really cool skill, or you are doing well academically, and you therefore feel above other people. It might be that you are going through a time in your life where you are confused about your place in this big world, and so you have landed on this temporarily.

to feel better than everyone isn't easy or something you can think about today and achieve tomorrow, but you need to take it easy and take your time achieving your goal which is feeling better than every one I think It'll happen if you think and control your emotions better than everyone else, because when you do these you'll know exactly what to do and when to do it, you won't make a lot of mistakes and if you did make any you'll know how to learn from it so you won't do it again, it worked with me.

I feel that how we feel in situations is left on external parameters by most of us while it’s completely a function of our internal being and definitions. It took me a while that rationalising our expectations can the world the most beautiful place for us. I am on the my journey and would helping others in doing so is now my Ikigai. I am not aspirant of being better than others at all since it can destabilise my sense of being blissful. In fact if I assume being better than others in anyway then there is a thick chance of missing out on learning something that can further enlighten me.

Self-confidence, awareness, and healthy coping skills maybe. It’s a good thing to feel content, hard to see others around us feeling less than that, but ultimately you should be your main focus. Don’t let the mood of people around you alter yours, embrace it and use it. Stay positive and strong, and hopefully in time, even if it only reaches one person, your mood and demeanor will help others to see the brighter side of life and help them to feel better. Be an inspiration to those around you, showing your strength and resilience. Let them into your life, and be a positive force in theirs.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong in feeling that you're better than everyone else. I believe knowing your own worth is important. Be proud of who you are and feel comfortable in your skin. It's something the world needs more. However there is one thing to remember more. When you know you are better than everyone else, do not belittle those who are doing not so good as you. That would be the wrong thing to do. Instead help them. Empower them. You rise by lifting others. So when you know you have the strength to lift someone up, do it😊

When a person feels like they are better than others, it is often because they have a deep-seated sense of security. They may adopt an identity that places them above how they truly feel about them self. What they need is to try to get to the point where they accept themselves as they, where they see themselves as human and see themselves on par with others. In a number of cases, the person truly is better than others around them, at least in a few select areas or a few superficial character traits. However, in terms of deep character and sense of worth, nobody is really better than another. When one feels like they are better than others, change starts with truly accepting ourselves as we are and then opening our hearts up to others and seeing their value and worth as well. Helping those we see as less fortunate and truly trying to connect with them will help aid in having a more reasonable view of ourselves.

Maybe you are at a point in your life where you feel better than others because you are doing things to take care of yourself, therefore, you have a higher level of self care and self love going on than those around you. Sometimes, the more we take care of ourselves, the more positive we feel about ourselves and our lives. This can really be beneficial as we are growing and maturing, because its important to take time for yourself to do things that nurture your soul. Think about what you like to do- do you do these things on a daily basis? How are you dealing with conflict? Do you have a strong support system and a good network that you feel is there for you? All of these things combined may be adding to why you are feeling better than those you are around.

Maybe you have a different attitude to others and choose to see the positives in every situation you encounter. Most people do not have the ability to do this so seeing you do so can stir feelings of jealousy on their behalf. Regardless of what others are doing or saying, maintain your integrity and stay true to yourself. Keep treating people the way you are and at the end of the day you can hold your head high in any given situation. If someone is not accepting your upbeat attitude you have the choice of whether you want to associate with them and be pulled down by their negative energy.

I think that's natural that as humans it's always easier to spot other people's flaws and not our own. And because of that, we always feel like we are better than others, when in reality we all have our flaws. In that same mindset, we tend to put the blame on others whenever we're dealing with problems, instead of introspecting our own faults. I find that it's important to know our strengths and have self confidence. But it is also important for balance, to know your weaknesses and mistakes. Because as humans none of us are perfect, and with that in mind it is easier for me to be more humble and not so focused on other people's weaknesses

It's hard to answer this without a bit of background info, but I get what you are saying. I mean, I would say it's not totally abnormal for people to feel this way sometimes, but if it gets in the way of your life or how you treat others, i think that's when you probably should try to work on it. I mean, it probably isn't even a mental disorder or anything like that; it may just be a part of you. All of us have vices, some deal with pride, some with anger, some with hate or greed.

It could be a defense mechanism. Like "oh I am better than others so if they don't like me it's their loss". It's a way to minimise the fear of rejection, to feel you are more special than others. The right way to go for it, would be to feel equal or that everyone are unique in their own way, so if you approach someone or if you aren't approached by someone as you expected you can just say" oh we are different", not take it personally. It's a way of protecting yourself and it indicates a fragile self confidence( even if it seems like overconfidence -feeling better than others).

If you mean that you feel better than everyone ego-wise, there are many reasons for that. It could be as simple as the people around you put you on a pedestal and bring themselves down, I know some people that my friends put on a higher pedestal because they seem better. Or there are possibilities such as the people around you don't measure up to your personal standards so you see yourself as better because you measure up to your own standards which is not a bad thing by any means! This becomes toxic and bad when you start expressing that you are better than everyone else and telling them that they are worse than you. There are some people that I think I am better than but I don't express that in any way and I don't bring them down. :)

I think it’s because you compete with others and you think you are winning. Maybe you think you know more than everyone else or you can do a certain thing better than everyone else. The truth is, one can always learn something from others. That’s why it’s always great to expand your social circle to diversify your knowledge. I am not too sure about what the exact reason is. All I know is this: If you start feeling that you are better than everyone else, then you will stop learning. If you stop learning, then you will remain the same. If you remain the same for long, then everyone else will outrun you, and if that happens, then you will proceed to ask the following question on Quora: “Why do I feel like everyone else is better than me?” Therefore, it's best to compete with yourself than to compete with others. This is because if you compete with yourself today, you will become a better person tomorrow. That's when you really forget about being better than others and focus on being a better you.

Unfortunately, there is a variety of environmental factors that can contribute to this. It is also possible that the feeling of being better than everyone else is a result of personality disorders, such as delusions of grandeur, which means you think you are much more important than other people or narcissistic personality disorder in which you focus on egocentrism, or that the world circulates around you. I know because my friend feels this way. But, it may not be based on personality disorder alone. In fact, you might feel that you are better than everyone else, but not have a personality disorder, so don't feel discouraged. Sometimes coming from low-income environments or an environment that doesn't fit you has something to do with it.

truly happyy

When this happens I never ask why, I ask HOW can I make others feel the same? It's a bliss either by simply having nothing to feel bad about, or by having a lot to feel bad about for so long that is growing to be too much, and then you decide to let it all go and decide to feel better :)

Sometimes we find it hard to relate to other people's struggles and it is hard to see that other people. Try to remind yourself other people can go through stuff too.

Maybe because you are better than anyone in your life,in your life not in life,it's a very good thing to know who you are,to know what are yoy good at,what you can do better than your friends your siblings, But you should be fair,you should truly know whether you are good or you're being arrogant.. Another thing to say,if right now you are good at something that doesn't meen you'll be good at it all the time or you will be the best all the time so you should keep trying to be better

There could be many different reasons why you are perceiving that you feel better than everyone around you. Maybe those people are battling mental health issues, are feeling ill, are having intense emotions, or simply are having a bad day. Whatever the case may be, do not place blame on yourself for feeling good.

You're confident.and happy you shouldn't compare you selves with others but take your time and be happy!

You could be Narcissistic, NPD is when you have a really big ego. There's nothing particularly wrong with having NPD but you might want to lower your self-confidence a bit if you believe you may be coming across as a show off.

Feeling better that everyone else is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it doesn't turn into something rude or you don't put anyone down. I actually find it god to have confidence in who you are. I honestly share the same feeling, maybe it is because of the environment surrounding me? I really have no clue. The best I can say, is try not to feel guilty for it, I believe everyone feels better than everyone else at some point, nothing wrong with it as long as you respect everyone else :)

I think everyone feels this way sometimes. The fact of the matter is there are some things that you are better at than other people. It's human nature to find the faults in other people, and better ourselves. But if you think it's becoming problematic, maybe try to start finding gifts in other people that are unique to them--gifts that you don't have. Maybe you will start to appreciate their gifts while still appreciating your own

Feeling better than everyone isnot always a bad quality,it might be because you have achieved more goals that you had for yourself or you are content with yourself,this quality of yours will allow you to go ahead in life but remember to not overlook others around you and help them out and to always be grounded otherwise it might cause a negative impact and you might find yourself falling straight to the ground but as long as you are happy and content and grounded,noone can stop you from success so you do you!

In some way I feel better when I get to help others. In a way I get to subconsciously deal with own problems but also, I’ve always loved helping others feeling like i get to make someone else happy and relieved and less alone! I think it’s so incredibly important to feel like you’re apart of something because I’ve myself dealt with the feeling of being all alone in the world. By feeling as if you’re apart of many, you get to feel a sense of community and as if you’re not dealing with all of this while everyone else has it all planned out. Simply said for me, this is a way of finding like minded people that I can help based on problems I’ve had.

you confidence has overpowered your soul and has made a self centered ego, which makes you think you are the best of the best.
