Ikaw kibali an pinaka-brayt? There
are people who think that they are better than others. They have this mindset
that they are endowed with perfection in terms of intelligence to the point
that they belittle and disrespect others.
There’s
nothing wrong with being very smart. It’s when an individual lets his pride in
being smart, go to his head, that problems start to occur. Such swollen-headed
individuals exhibit a condition known as intellectual arrogance.
Intellectual
arrogance refers to a state and frame of mind, where an individual considers
his/her intellect to be superior to others, his/her knowledge cannot be
challenged and he/she judges others based on their intellect (socialmettle.com).
But
what if the feigned intellect is also limited? What if the individual is just
having some sort of delusions of grandeur?
People
experiencing delusions of grandeur see themselves as great, highly
accomplished, more important than others, or even magical. The delusion may be
persistent, or it may appear only periodically.
However,
a delusion of grandeur is more than just very high self-esteem or an inflated
sense of self-importance. It marks a significant disconnection from the real
world. A person with delusions of grandeur may continue to believe in the
delusion in spite of contradictory evidence (Legg, 2018).
Even
if the person is NOT that intelligent, the delusion continues due to the
inflated sense of importance. Psychologists believe that this is being caused
by poor parental affirmation and lack of affection during childhood.
So,
those who insult us for not being able to cope with their BELIEVED
intelligence, let us examine their childhood and investigate how their parents
raised them.
