Why does everyone think they're so great?
in Psychology & Therapy ·
I’m a decent person—at least until you hit a nerve. Up to that point, I think I’m better than most people I run into. Of course, plenty of folks walk around thinking they're saints, even when they aren't, mostly because they lack the self-awareness to actually look in the mirror and face their own flaws. And, you know how it goes—you don't really see someone's true colors until they get a taste of power or find themselves looking down on others. I can't say for sure how I'd handle certain situations I haven't faced yet... though, honestly, I hope I never have to find out.
