Sometimes I feel smarter than others, but only a little and in general. It won't make me look down on them.

Some other times, I will feel superior (as in title) and that's where things start moving into play. I start behaving arrogantly and challenge people so as to see their more intelligent side. Most times, this works and I get to see sides of those people I hadn't seen before (it kind of breaks the status quo).

At other times, though I've felt and was superior in one way, the other person I am comparing myself to will completely surprise me by their intelligence, but in a completely different way. Say, their ability to have insight on peoples' needs or how they're feeling or what they're thinking, and it makes perfect sense, while I was completely and totally oblivious to it.

The superiority attitude is double-edged from what I've noticed this far.
