Did you ever thought you are special and better than others? Is it sinful to feel like that?

I've spent the lions share of my life being made to feel quite the opposite by my mother and by the exs, but somehow they could not prevent my feelings of superiority (in certain areas) bubbling over. I have decided that it is a way of balancing. We MUST feel good about ourselves. If we do not, we will be too crushed to survive.
