People sometimes hint that they dont feel equal to the other smarties out here

but its more irritating when people say things that wanna make us understand they are smarter than us.

What's the point. Are they THAT insecure???

Are they really doing that or are they just communicating in a way that makes someone feel like they’re being a know it all just because they’re using big words or sounding confident about what they’re talking about? Some people just genuinely speak that way. Some people are genuinely just … smart. When we encounter those people, is it possible we are projecting our own insecurities on to them in assuming they’re behaving rudely when they’re actually just being honest or communicating with authenticity? Just throwing a counter point out there. I know some people absolutely behave like snooty know it alls too and can have an arrogance in how they speak to people.

@brokensignal in this case she was just telling the world she was smarter than all of them in general and so I just called her a smartie and then she reacted like she had been trolling me negatively for years so I then called out her low blow and blocked her. If she was so smart and I only echoed her sentiment about herself it should have been like, OK I really do feel that way so have a good one.

Its a double edged sword to be smarter than most others because the real meaning is you supposedly have more POWER than "thou"...

But watch how it gets used. That tells the whole story.

End of mine.

I see your point but its about censorship/anything goes here, not getting to a better set of truths. We really aren't that sophisticated. Its more a display rag of anything or everything. And I never stay here too long, this time it might be over in a day or more, and just started again 6 days ago.

Perception. Communication. Clarity and depth.

I'm a very sensitive person. I see things. I pay attention to detail.

Some people, give off that vibe uncontrollably.

It's how they function, how they think.

But, if they're just being boastful, smh.

No amount of knowledge can teach a person wisdom.

I think it comes with experience and humility.

Confidence is key.
Some time, it just goes away and than you can't see things relationally.
