Why do I feel better than everyone else?

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

It maybe because you've accomplished your goals and pretty proud of yourself and your accomplishments, or simply content with the way things are :)

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 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.
